No.1742. NEW LEPIDOPTERA FROM MEXICO— DYAR. 249 



One male, Zacualpan, Mexico, August, L909 (R. Miiller); one 

 female, Guadalajara, Mexico (Schaus collection). 

 Type.— Cat. No. 12983, U.S.N.M. 



'Phi' antenna' of the male are pectinate, with short lamellate branches. 



CROPIA ISIDORA, new species. 



Head brownish black; thorax clothed with dense silver-gray- 

 tipped scales. Abdomen with large black dorsal tufts on the third 

 and fourth segments. Fore wing dark Lilacine brown, more blackish 

 .within the outer line; lines black, distinct; subbasal line single; 

 some silvery whitish scales on inner margin;' inner line irregularly 

 wavy, joined by a bar on submedian fold to the outer line, which is 

 outcurved in the middle and incurved on vein 1; an erect black bar 

 from the connecting - dash to orbicular; orbicular and reniform bro- 

 kenly outlined in black, powdered and irregularly centered with white 

 scales; outer line irregularly bluntly dentate, excurved above, in- 

 curved below vein 2; terminal space with a black bar on submedian 

 space and on vein 5; subterminal line blackish, waved, faint, and 

 preceded by blackish spots above vein 5; below this point the lines are 

 composed of a series of ocherous white spots, two of which are inclosed 

 by the black bars; between the lower segment of subterminal line 

 and outer line is much white powdering, which indicates a faint 

 outer duplication of the outer line; a black line at base of the con- 

 colorous fringe. Hind wing brown with a mesial shaded black line; 

 outer margin powdered with ocherous white, most broadly so at anal 

 angle. Expanse, 42 mm. 



One male, Orizaba, Mexico, November, 1909 (II. Miiller). 



Type.— Cat. No. 12989, U.S.N.M. 



The antennae of the male are simple. The species seems allied to 

 Cropia hadenoides Walker, which is not before me. 



CROPIA CONSONENS, new name. 



In referring to Cropia hadenoides Walker, it should be noted that 

 Walker also described Homoptera hadenoides, which is a Cropia 

 as seen by specimens which Mr. Schaus has compared with the type 

 in the Oxford Museum. I therefore propose the above name on 

 account of the preoccupation of the specific name in the genus. 

 Three females are before me. The species seems most nearly allied 

 to Cropia templada Schaus, but is larger, without the subapical 

 white shade and with a large brown-black patch in the lower third 

 of the median space between the lines. The specimens are from 

 Venezuela and French Guiana, and are referred to in this paper only 

 for the purpose of straightening out the names in the genus.
