60 W. J. HOLLAND. 



Genus OCYTON Boisd. 



7. Ocytoii scitiila n. sp. Plate II. fig. 4. 



Upperside. — Head, patagije and abdomen reddish cinereous, except first seg- 

 ment of abdomen, which is dark brown. Anterior whiqs cinereous, with a lilacine 

 lustre. Markings dark brown, as follows: just before the base two transverse 

 lines distinct on costa, but obscure on inner margin, then a broad, brown shade, 

 sharply angulate near the cosfti, obsolete on the cell, but very distinct on inner 

 margin ; a second broad shade of brown runs from the middle of the costa to the 

 external angle, well defined on the inner margin, but diffuse toward the side of 

 the apex ; at the inner angle this shade is preceded by a subquadrate brown spot 

 defined on the side of the external margin of the wing by white ; the broad 

 central band of browu is followed toward the apex by three curved brown lines 

 darkest on the costa, and converging to a small white submarginal spot situated 

 between the fourth and fifth veins. A broad luuular shade adorns the outer 

 margin extending from the apex to the angle, which lies midway between the 

 apex and the posterior margin. Fringes of the same color as the body of the 

 wing, exceedingly narrow and very obscurely checkered with lighter color to- 

 ward the internal angle. Posterior wings dark brown, with a very obscure sub- 

 marginal fascia of vinous red. Fringes narrow, checkered with white on the 

 iiura-neural spaces. 



Underside. — Palpi, thorax and legs ashen gray. Abdomen red, with a white 

 spot on the middle of the edge of the first four abdominal segments. Anterior 

 wings cinereous on costa, broadly reddish brown on discal area, bright red on the 

 median area and broadly lilacine on the margin, crossed by a number of obscure 

 luuulate bands of brown ; the white spot between veins four and five, and three 

 white spots near the external angle, very distinct. Posterior wings red, shading 

 into cinereous at base and testaceous on outer margin and traversed by four 

 narrow and somewhat obscure bands of brown, parallel to the outer margin. 



The female does not differ in coloration from the male, and is dis- 

 tinguished simply by her larger size and the absence of teeth on the 

 antennae. Expanse of wings % , 50 nnn. ; 9 , 54 mm. 



Described from two males and one female in coll. Holland. 



Hab. — Benita (Reutlinger). 



8. Ofyton Iapygoide!<> n. sp. I*late II. fig. 3. 



Upperside. — Head, thorax and abdomen light bi-own, inclining to red on ab- 

 domen and darkest on thorax. Anterior wings light reddish gray, traversed by 

 four series of greenish brown lines obsolete on costa, but growing darker and 

 more distinct toward inner margin ; a broad browu shade extends diagonally 

 from the middle of the costa to the internal angle, and is followed by two some- 

 what curved parallel lines, dark and well defined toward costa, and absorbed 

 into the broad diagonal shade at the internal angle. Three minute black dots 

 appear ou the outermost of these lines located respectively on veins 4, 5 and H. 

 The outer margin is adorned by a luuular shade of dark brown extending from 

 just below the apex to the middle of the margin as in 0. scitula, but narrower 

 than in that species. Posterior wings dusky, with a faint submarginal band of 

 red. Fringes nnriow. white, checkered with dusky at tijis of veins.
