SCOPARIA CRASSIUSCULA, new species 



Pattern and color of hiscutella, but smaller, the wings shorter and 

 broader, much less elongate. The markings seem condensed and 

 approximate in comparison with the named species, which is prob- 

 ably due to the wing-shape. Expanse, 13 mm. 



Type.— Male, Cat. No. 41352, U.S.N.M.; Castro, Parana, Brazil 

 (Schaus collection). Paratypes, male and female with the same 

 data. A fragment of a specimen, front wings only, St. Jean, Maroni 

 River, French Guiana (W. Schaus) is apparently the same. 



SCOPARIA IMPARILIS, new species 



Wings rather elongated, pointed at apices. Pale violaceous gray; 

 a broad black streak from base of fore wing on submedian fold to 

 origin of vein 2; a black blotch for orbicular and a larger one for 

 reniform, joined by a black line in lower part of cell and followed 

 faintly by reddish; terminal space limited by a faint dark line, 

 olivaceous shaded and with irregular black streaks; terminal black 

 dots small, connected by a shade; fringe pale; ordinary lines want- 

 ing. Hind wing pale gray, the fringe white. Expanse, 17 mm. 



Type, Male, Cat. No. 41380, U.S.N.M.; Villa Baleda, Porto Santo. 

 Jamaica (T. D. A. Cockerell). 



SCOPARIA VINASALIS. new species 



Markings of ci^assiiLSCula but still smaller and more delicate. The 

 marks are more smooth and even, the terminal space contrastingly 

 dark, with a pale blotch centrally, not giving the X-mark appearance. 

 The ground color has a tint of lilaceous, especially in the female. 

 Expanse, 10 mm. 



Type. — Male. Paratypes, two males and a female, No. 41353, 

 U. S. N. M. ; Juan Vinas, Costa Rica, January, May, and November 

 (Schaus and Barnes). 



SCOPARIA EXCURSALIS, new species 



Small and delicate, the wings rather narrow and elongate. Fore 

 wing light gray with violaceous tint, some black shading at the base; 

 inner line pale, indistinct, but indicated by the black outer shading, 

 angled outward mesially; ordinary spots lost except the reniform, 

 which is dark, diffused and stained with reddish centrally; outer 

 line scarcely indicated, forming with the subterminal line an indis- 

 tinct X mark in the lightly darkened terminal area. Expanse, 11 

 mm. 



Type. — Male. Paratype, male, No. 41354, U.S.N.M. ; Juan Vinas, 

 Costa Rica, the paratype marked February (Schaus and Barnes).
