Abdomen ochreous ; head and thorax greyish oehreous ; face blown. I'liderside 

 rather briglit yellow, dusted thickly with dark brown, and with all the lines strongly 

 marked, dark brown ; subterminal line dark brown ; sometimes the hindniargin wholly 

 suffused with brown. 



Expanse of wings : 38 mm. 



Two cj cT from Colombia. 



The hindmargin of both wings is very distinctly elbowed in the middle. 



Eusenea pulverosa sp. nov. 



Forewings : mouse-coloured, suffused in part with tawny, and almost wholly 

 covered with darker transverse fuscous streaks; first line from beyond one-tliird of 

 costa to beyond one-third of iiuier margin, dark fuscous, forming three slight outward 

 curves ; second line fuscous, oblique, sinuous, from just before apex to two-thirds of 

 inner mai-gin ; the central area and the part of the marginal area contiguous to the 

 outer line suffused with tawny ; extreme hindmargin pale mouse-colour, with the 

 fringes ; a row of minute black dots before the fringes; cell-spot small, pale. 



Hinchui'iu/s : paler and duller; a dark transverse line from two-thirds of inner 

 margin, vanishing half-way across the wing, followed l)y a lengthened pale patcli, and 

 ^vith the whole of the space about the anal angle tawny; hindmargin and fringes as 

 in forewings. 



Head, face, and thorax dark fuscous ; abdomen paler ; frontlet and shaft of 

 antennae whitish. Underside dull cinereous, tinged with feiTuginous, especially in 

 the hindwings; the exterior line in both wings partially darker. 



Expanse of wings : 38 mm.

I think these so-called species are only forms of one variable insect. Whether 

 Druce has rightly identified his three ? ? from Central America I cannot say. The 

 ? would ajipear to be mucli commoner than the S. The difference between the 

 cjc?, as exemplified by the ty[ies of nicoaria Wlk. and ochrea Butler and all the 

 forms of the ? , is no greater than obtains throughout the genus H(desa. In his 

 description of the various forms of the ? Walker always speaks of the forewings as 

 " very falcate." His species nutriaria, a ? also, from S. Domingo, seems distinct ; 

 this he gives as "falcate" merely: three examples, all c?t?, in Mr. Rothschild's 

 collection, from Jamaica, appear to correspond ; these have the antennae fully 

 pectinated, and must tlierefore be referred to the genus Fatalene.
