HYPOCRISIAS BERTHULA, new species. 



Ground color of fore wing pale yellow, appearmg in a large spot at 

 basal third of costa two spots above each other at the end of the cell, 

 a half row of small spots beyond and a complete subterminal row; 

 besides these are a few small spots subbasally and running do\\Ti from 

 the large costal spot. The rest of the wing is shaded mth dark 

 brown, heavily so over the median space and terminally, more lightly 

 at base and subterminaUy. Hind vnng yello^vish white, vdth a discal 

 mark, a brown terminal border on apical half and a slight subtermmal 

 marking of a row of saggitate connected markings on the veins. 

 Expanse, 38 mm. 



Type. — One male. No. 13846, U.S.N.M., Tehuacan, Mexico, 

 September, 1908 (R. Miiller). 



This species resembles Hypocrisias minima Neumoegen, but the 

 markings of the fore wing are different, while the liind wings are not 

 immaculate as in that form. 



Genus AMMALO Walkero 

 AMMALO PARANOMON, new species. 



Head and thorax dark brown; abdomen brown \vith black seg- 

 mental rings, the basal hairs above long and red, obscuring the bands 

 on the basal segments; legs brown, becoming black outwardly on 

 tibiae and tarsi, inside of fore femora and tips of hmd tibiae reddish. 

 Fore wing roughly squamose, dark umber bro"\vn with blackish 

 markings; these consist of a stripe along costa and inner margin, the 

 latter interrupted by reddish hairs at base; joining these are a small 

 subbasal band, an inner broad curved band, a broad outer band 

 nearly touching the marginal band; a square discal patch fused to 

 the costal stripe; a termmal row of minute umber dots at the ends 

 of the veins. Hind wing pale red with a broad gray submarginal 

 band, narrowly separated from the gray fringe by reddish. Expanse, 

 58 mm. 



Type. — One male, No. 14273, U.S.N.M., Zacualpan, Mexico, June, 



1911 (R. Miiller). 



This species would appear to be more allied to the genus Elysius 

 than to the one in wliich I have placed it, but vein 10 is clearly stalked 

 on both mngs. Vein 8 of the hind wings is small and weak, faintly 

 attaining the costa as is often the case in Elysius, but not in Ammalo.
