between latter band and piriform spot; two minute dorsal dots in 

 same interspaces, each one opposite above-mentioned costal spots; 

 eight variously shaped marginal spots, two of them in external 

 portion of costa, one on wing apex, four on termen (some of them 

 connected by tips), and one (largest spot) on tornus; cUia black in 

 front of marginal markings, and orange yellow in interspaces. Length 

 of forewing 13 mm. Hmdwmg orange yellow with black markings: 

 large, irregularly shaped spots, confluent and occupying basal two- 

 thirds of wing; a preapical spot on costa; an elongate spot extending 

 from wing apex to upper portion of termen; a similar spot on termen, 

 below former and separate from it; two smaller, rotund spots on 

 tornus, touching external margin of confluent spots in inner area 

 of wing; cilia orange yellow, in front of margmal spots black; at 

 apicoterminal spot black portion of cilia divided by orange yellow. 



M ALE . — Unlaiov7n . 



Female genitalia. — Sinus vaginalis wide with a narrow lamella 

 antevagmalis. Antrum tubular, broader than long; two narrow, 

 lateral coUiculi; cervical portion of corpus bursae finely striated, 

 closer to antrum with numerous, variously sized, flat, sclerotized 

 thorns arranged in form of a girdle; cestum elongate, serrately out- 

 lined, with a narrow, stronger sclerotized carina; corpus bursae 

 elongate, moderately broad; signum shaped as a semirotundate plate, 

 perpendicular to surface of corpus bursae, and resting on a wealdy 

 sclerotized area. 



Type. — Holotj'pe, 9 (genitalia on slide B.6), Rio Tanampaya, 

 La Paz, Bolivia, 1894 (Garlepp; Staudinger Collection); ZMB. 



Remarks. — Similar to cantharopa Meyrick, but differs in the 

 shapes of the spots of the wings: the large, external spot of the 

 forewmg is extended costad and touches the costa; the marginal 

 spots of both wdngs are larger and on hindwing less numerous. In 

 accordance with the genitalia, these two species belong to different 

 subgenera. In its appearance analoga is very similar to the gynan- 

 drous specimen of an unknown Pseudatteria species, described by 

 the present author (Obraztsov, 1962). Until any detailed information 

 about the normal moths of this unloiown species from Peru and the 

 male of analoga is available, it is difficult to discuss their relationship.
