Forewing orange, white in subcostal and apicoterminal areas; markings 

 bluish black, arranged as follows: nine streaks on costa, penultimate of 

 them (eighth, counting from wing base) longest and dilated at tip; 

 a trifurcate streak with short branches resting on wing apex and 

 termen below it; another trifurcate streak with short branches resting 

 on termen above tornus; a semirotundate spot on tornus, on border of 

 white and orange areas: on elongate spot, slightly oblique basad, and 

 located between tornal spot and penultimate costal streak; cilia black 

 in front of streaks, and white in interspaces. Length of forewing 14 

 mm. Hindwing orange with purple-black spots: a large apical spot, 

 composed of two confluent spots, one at end of costa, another on wing 

 apex; five much smaller spots on termen; cilia black in front of termi- 

 nal spots, twice checked with white at apical spot, and white in inter- 

 spaces between apical spot and three following terminal spots; re-

 terminal spot. 



Male. — Unknov/n. 



Female genitalia. — Sinus vaginalis with a subtrapezoidal, some- 

 what obtusely pointed lamella antevaginalis on middle of caudal mar- 

 gin. Antrum short, tubular with incurved sides, and with broad, curved 

 colliculi touching each other at middle of antrum. Cervical portion of 

 corpus bm"sae membranous caudally, slightly dilated and covered with 

 a dense, sclerotized, rather disorderly, longitudinal striation at middle, 

 and again narrowed cephalically; cestum indicated by a laterocaudal 

 sclerotization in striated area of cervix bursae; corpus bursae long and 

 narrow; signum with an arcuate, transverse carina dividing it in an 

 open, not well-defined caudal area and a subtriangular cephalic area 

 narrowly extended cephalad. 



Type. — Holotype, 9 (genitalia slide 8680), Guainia ("Upper Rio 

 Negro"), Vaupes, Colombia, 800 m. (A. H. Fassl); BM. 



Remarks. — ^Very similar to dognini, new species, and compared with 

 it in the description of the latter. In the female genitalia, shaferi is 

 also rather close to tremewani, new species, but has no external 

 similarity to it. This species is named for M. Shaffer of the British 

 Museum (Natural History) for recognition of his kind assistance in the 

 preparation of the genitalia slides for the present author's studies on 

 the Neotropical Tortricidae. 



Pseudatteria (Pseudatteria) pseudomaenas, new species 



Plate 3 



Antenna black with whitish spots on some segments. Labial 

 palpus black with basal segment, and inner surface and dorsal edge
