Expanse ol wiugs : :Mi mm. 



One d from Petroiiulis, 



It is hardly likely tliat this can Lie a form of S. trUineata Wan. 



Spododes sabulosa >|i. nov. 



Fwewingii : saudy, with an olive tinge, tinely du.sted with hhick sjiecks ; lines 

 represented by black vein-dots, the first preceded, the second followed, by white 

 linear dots ; in the second the dots on the lower radial and first median break 1 he 

 curve by being nearer the base of the wing; cell-spot black, plain; fringe con- 

 coloroiis. 



Hin'Jivi'ii;jx : the same. 



Thorax and abdomen sandy; face, palpi, and antennae reddish hrown. I'nder- 

 side pale .stone-colour, hardly dusted with cbirker ; cell-spots visible ; suliuuuginal line 

 of dots very indistinct. 



Expanse of wings ; 2(i mm. 



One (J from Santos. 



The hindmargins of both wings of this species show a faint elbow. 



Spododes trilineata sp. nov. 



Forewi iigs : cork-colour, finely dusted with fuscous atoms ; costa finely brown ; 

 the three lines olive-brown ; first at one-third of costa, below which it is bluntly 

 bent, then straight and slightly oblique to inner margin at one-third ; second 

 straight, from a little before the apex to the middle of inner margin ; third from 

 close to apex, forming a wide sinus outwards in the middle to the inner margin 

 close to the second line; cell-spot small, black ; fringe concolorous, without dusting. 



Hindwings : with the second and third lines repeated. 



Thorax and abdomen concolorous with ground-colour ; face, antennae, and palpi 

 brown. Underside whitish ochreous ; costa of forewings, apical region, and tips of 

 the fringes reddish fuscous ; the submarginal line alone expressed, fuscous, denticulate 

 not corresponding exactly to the upperside. 



Expanse of wings : 36 mm. 



One S from Brazil.

Type : Si/nnonivsjirmfimentaria Guen. 



S antennae .simple, not pectinated ; hind tibiae not incras.^ated ; hindmargin 

 of forewings angular, of hindwings denticulate. 



The species rlwdaria, represented by U.S. at fig. 348, is the first Microgania 

 figured, and must stand as type of that genus, thereby forestalling Guen^e's later 

 Oxydia. The next species figured by H.S. as a Microgonia, polygrapharw (fig. 369), 

 is not congeneric with rhodaria, and the name cannot stand for it. Guen^e's 

 Si/nnomoti in its turn will have to be employed. Of this genus Guen6e recognised 

 only one species, while he placed three others under Apicia ; they seem, in fact, 

 to be somewhat numerous in (.entaal America.
