medial gemmate, fuscous, lunular; an oblique dark streak on disco- 

 cellular and a white line from it anteriorly to the white costal space; 

 postmcdial defined by black points and faint lunulcs, also geminate, 

 traceable only from vein 5, followed by black and white points and 

 streaks on veins; a large triangular brown black shade below white 

 portion of costa; a submarginal wavy dark brown line from vein 7 

 to vein 2, and black spots below vein 2; a lunular marginal line and 

 a fine terminal line, both dark brown; two black subapical points 

 on white costa; cilia mottled grayish brown and fuscous, a black 

 shade on inner margin before antemedial line, and a small similar 

 shade at cell between veins 2 and 3. Hind wings fuscous, the base 

 and inner margin shaded with ocherous; cilia mostly white. Fore 

 wings below gray, the margins whitish; marginal black spots on 

 interspaces; a terminal black line. Hind wings below white, the 

 termen faintly shaded with fuscous. 



Expanse.— 39 mm. 



Habitat. — Cayuga, Guatemala. 



Type.— Cat. No. 23438, U.S.N.M. 



PEIJOARA DISCOVATA, new species. 



Male. — Palpi brown tipped with white. Head, collar, and thorax 

 brownish gray, a whitish shade across collar; patagia with lateral 

 white tufts. Fore wings thickly irrorated with dark grayish brown, 

 darkest at base, a short white streak at base below cell; traces of an 

 outcurved antemedial line, defined by a pale shade on proximal side; 

 an oblique brown line on discocellular edged with white, more broadly 

 below subcostal and acuminate toward apex; a fine postmedial line 

 outwardly shaded with white, followed by dark brown streaks, broad 

 and coalescing from vein 6 to costa, fine above veins 4 and 5; from 

 vein 4 to inner margin irregular dark brown spots outwardly edged 

 by the sub terminal white line; above vein 4 to costa the white line is 

 more extended, less linear; termen narrowly grayish brown with a 

 white line preceding a terminal dark brown line cut by the white tips 

 of veins; cilia ocherous tipped with white. Hind wings whitish, the 

 veins and inner margin pale ocherous; the outer margin broadly 

 fuscous gray. Wings below white, the costa of fore wing with some 

 smoky shading. 



Expanse. — 37 mm. 



Habitat. — Cayuga, Guatemala. 



Type.— Cat. No. 23440, U.S.N.M. 



Very similar to P. sylvestris Schaus from French Guiana, but the 

 genitalia are quite distinct. In discovata the anellus is larger with 

 its lateral hooklike projections longer and stouter; the aedoeagus is 

 stouter and the strongly chitinized projections from the costa of the 

 harpes (elements of the transtilla) are much stouter, a trifle shorter
