together before the angle of the cell, 4-5 long-stalked, 6 from apex of 

 cell, 7-9 stalked, 10 absent, 11 on the cell close to apex and curved at 

 base. Hind wing with 2 before the angle of the cell, 3 and 5 approxi- 

 mated at base, 4 absent, 6-7 stalked, 7 anastomosing with 8. 

 Type of the genus. — Zahoha pyraloides, new species. 



ZABOBA PYRALOIDES, new species. 



Fore wing grayish brown, a little more ocherous along costa and 

 apex; lines blackish, somewhat diffused; inner line in-angled in cell, 

 followed by a round dot, excurved across submedian ; outer line run- 

 ning in a Uttle to vein 5, then projected outward and denticulate over 

 the nervules, inward a little across the submedian area; termen with 

 denser dark irrorations. Hind wing brown-gray, without any ocher- 

 ous; a faint dark mesial hne, running in along submedian fold. 

 Expanse, 23 mm. 



Type.— FemaXe, No. 16518, U.S.N.M.; Zacualpan, Mexico, July, 

 1913 (R. Mtiller). 



SCHACONTIA, new genus. 



Fore wing with veins 4 and 5 stalked; 6 and 7 stalked from below 

 angle of cell; 8 to 10 stalked, 10 small or obsolete, 11 from the cell. 

 Hind wing with 3 near angle of cell, 4 and 5 stalked, 8 anastomosing 

 with 7. Palpi porrect, slender, exceeding the front; front with 

 conical prominence. 



Type of the genus. — Schacontia medalha Schaus.^ 



SCHACONTIA REPLICA, new species. 



Fore wing dark olive brown at base, angled centrally; median 

 area washed with white, shading to olive brown again before the 

 outer line; this line whitish, shading outwardly, excurved on upper 

 half nearly to outer margin, then straight, angled on vein 1 and 

 oblique to middle of inner margin. Hind wing soiled whitish, with 

 curved fuscous submarginal line. Expanse, 19 mm. 



Type.— Fem&le, No. 15484, U.S.N .M.; Orizaba, Mexico, March, 

 1912 (R. Muller). 



Similar to S. medalha in color and pattern, but the dark basal space 

 of fore wing smaller, the median whitish area consequently wider. 



SCHACONTIA CHANESALIS Druce. 

 Pionea chanesalis Druce, Biol. Cent.-Amer., Lep. Het., vol. 2, 1899, p. 557, pi. 101, 

 fig. 8. 



Mr. Schaus sent me a specimen of S. replica labelled " chanesalis 

 Druce," but according to Druce's figure and description, chanesalis 

 has the medial white area very narrow, almost a band. It will 

 undoubtedly fall in this genus. S. chanesalis is from Guatemala.
