Black; thorax dorsally, palpi and hairs on femora orange. Fore 

 wing shining greenish black, the marks edged vnih dull black ; a large 

 round orange discal spot; a marginal orange band, dentate out- 

 wardly, touching termen by its dentations on the vems, the fringe 

 black. Hind wing black, with only a Uttle metaUic gloss. Expanse, 

 34 mm. 



Type.— Female, No. 15463, U.S.N .M.; Mexico City, Mexico, Sep- 

 tember, 1912 (R. Miiller). 



Genus TROGOBLEMMA Hampson. 



TROGOBLEMMA CACODOXICA, new species. 



Fore wing with the outer margin excavate in its upper half, leaving 

 a projection at middle; red-brown, irrorate with purpUsh and a little 

 red; markings illy defined. A small black discal dot. Hind wing 

 light fuscous. Expanse, 15-20 mm. 



Coty pes. —Three females. No. 15464, U.S.N.M.; Orizaba, Mexico 

 (Schaus collection); Juan Vinas, Costa Rica, November, 1909 (W. 

 Schaus). 



Very close to T. modesta Schaus, described from Costa Rica, but 

 which I have also from Jalapa, Mexico^ In the female of modesta the 

 hind wings are pale with a curved extra-discal gray band, which 

 beneath is strongly arcuate and submacular. In cacodoxlca, the hind 

 wings of the female are entirely fuscous shaded, the band beneath 

 shaded, obscure and only shghtly arcuate. Mr. Schaus's Costa Rican 

 specimen was identified by him as the female of modesta. 



Hampson' s description of the genus is in error in the statement 

 "Proboscis absent." It is true that in the type-specimen of T. 

 acutalls Schaus the tongue is absent, but it has been broken off, and 

 is plainly visible in other specimens before me from the same locaUty. 

 The large discal spot of the type is a variation only, the other speci- 

 mens showing minute discal dot or replaced by a large white patch. 

 A similar variation occurs in T. modesta. 



Genus PARANGITIA Hampson. 



PARANGITIA MOSAICA, new species. 



Olivaceous brown, heavily shaded over a light clay color, that 

 appears only about anal angle; claviform, orbicular, and reniform, 

 round, light-ringed, forming a close group of similar spots; hnes 

 slender, black, dentate, not contrasted, the outer excurved over cell; 

 an oblique white mark across apex, dentate outwardh^; submarginal 

 hne wavj^, defining a mottled darker terminal area. Hind wmg 

 blackish, a little bronzy, darker on the margin. Expanse, 21 mm. 



Type.—M.Qle, No. 15465, U.S.N .M.; Orizaba, Mexico (Schaus col- 

 lection) .
