till near middle where they are rather darker; palpi pale, with brown hair; 

 thorax with mostlj* brown hair, but each side above near middle is a streak, of 

 yellowish hair. Abdomen dark brown; legs pale brown, the tibiae rather 

 darker, the tarsal joints are pale on bases, most broadly on middle tarsi, spurs 

 dark, 2-2-4. Wings dark, clothed with golden and brownish hair, fringe 

 brown, but there are a few pale spots in the apical fringe. In the male the 

 ventral spine is j'-ellowish, very slender, and slightly rounded at tip. Wings 

 slender as in H. borealis, in fore wings fourth fork is long and almost reaches 

 the anastomosis. 

 Eximnse 10-11 mm. 



Helicopsyche peruana, sp. nov. 



Type.— M. C. Z. 10,905. Peru: Xatucana, 7,788 ft., 14 June 

 (H. S. Parish). 



Brown; head with brown and some }-ellowish hair on warts of verte.x; basal 

 joints of antennae dark, with some brown, and long yellowish hair, bej'ond the 

 antennae are dark, the joints narrowly pale at base; palpi pale, with brown 

 hair; hair of thorax largelj' brown; abdomen dark; legs pale brownish, 

 femora mo.stly with white hair, tibiae darker, tarsi pale on bases of joints, the 

 mid tarsi broadlj' so, spurs dark brown. Wings dark, with golden and brown 

 hair, fringe brown, nearly black at tip of the wing; hind wings with black hair 

 and fringe. In male the ventral spine is quite broad at base, triangular, with 

 almost pointed tip. Wings slender as in H. borealis; in fore wings the fourth 

 fork has a pedicel nearly one third its own length. 



Expanse 11 mm. 



GoERA OCTOSPIXA, sp. nov. 



Type. — M. C. Z. 10,883. Philippines — Luzon: Xueva Vizcaya; 

 Imugin (C. F. Baker). 



Yellowish, clothed with bright yellow hair; maxillary palpi reciu'ved, with 

 rows of yeUow hair each side, labial palpi with last two joints long and sub- 

 equal; basal joint of antennae long, with long, bright yellow hair. Wings 

 clothed with bright yeUow hair, especially along the veins. \'enation verj^ 

 similar to G. longispina, but the enlarged smooth space above anastomosis is 

 larger and more rounded above, the third fork is not pedicellate; in the hind 

 wings all the apical forks are longer and more slender. On the sixth ventral 

 segment there is a slender median process and each side of it four slender spines; 

 the male genitalia from above resemble those of G. longispina, but the median 

 spines are less long, the process at tip of lateral appendages is larger, and the 

 lateral processes from near base are also larger than in that species. 



Expanse 21 mm.
