Dichostrepsia tricolorata sp. nov. 



cJ. Foreioinffs : black, with a jagged-edged coppery red patdi on the inner 

 margin, from near the base to shortl_v before the anal angle, extending two-thirds 

 acroiis the wing; beyond the cell a subipuuhate lemon-yellow patch. 



IJ indtvings : coppery red, with a narrow black border, the line of separation 

 being regularh' crenulate. 



Underside like upper, with the following ad<litions: (he forewing has a basal 

 subcostal red streak reaching to two-thirds; towards the hindinargin there are five 

 elongated pale yellow blotches between the veins; in the hindwings, instead of the 

 continuous black border, the veins at their extremity have each an elongated black 

 blotch, the intervals being pale yeUow ; fringe entirely black. The red tint of the 

 underside is paler than that of the upper. Palpi, forehead, thorax, black ; legs black 

 s|)otted with yellow; abdomen yellow, with the dorsal and lateral lines and segmental 

 divisions broadly lilack ; face and two spots in middle of thorax yellow ; patagia 

 red at the base. 



Expanse of wings : 38 mm. 



One t? from 8outh America, without precise localitv. 



Dichostrepsia unciata sp. nov. 

 Wings brown-black ; forewings with a triangular oval red spot beyond the cell, 

 nearer the costa than the hind or inner margin. Underside smoky brown : forewings 

 with the red patch brighter ; hindwings with veins black. 

 Expanse of wings : 30 mm. 

 ' One S from the Felder collection, from Peru. 

 The bladder beneath the median vein is plain enough ; but the distortion of the 

 veins is not so great as in the typical species tricolorata Warr. 



Emplocia U.S. 



Forewings: with costa nearly straight ; hindmargin curved, rather bulging. 



Hindwings : with the hindmargin from anal angle nearly straight, curved onlv 

 at the apical angle. 



Palpi porrect, terminal joint acute ; tongue present ; antennae of c? well 

 pectinated, the pectinations themselves finely ciliated ; hind tibiae with four spurs. 



Neuration: forewings, cell three-fifths of wing: discocellular straight, curved 

 outwards just before apex ; first median nervule at three-fifths, second at four-fifths, 

 third from end ; lower radial from centre of discocellular ; upper from upper end ol' 

 cell, bent downwards shortly after its rise; five subcostals on a common stem. 

 Hindwings, cell three-fifths ; discocellular angulated ; costal very closely approxi- 

 mated to subcostal for quite half the cell, appearing to anastomose; first subcostal' 

 just before end of cell ; medians as in forewings. 



Tyjje : Emplocia bifenestrata H.8. 



A red stripe from the base of each wing, one or more pale sjiots towards apex of 

 forewing. 



Mnesipenthe gen. nov. 



Like Sangalopsis in size, shape, and structure ; differing in the absence of 

 coloration, the wings being black, with a pellucid white cell-patch, and in the 

 neuration. In the forewings the second and third median nervules are strongly
