 locahties, La Chorrera, May, 1912 (Busck); Porto Bello, April, 1912

This would seem to be a CTialcoela or Cataclysta with aborted mouth 

 parts. Specimens from the Guianas have been labeled by Mr. Schaus 

 '^Cataclysta perlalis Led.; trilinealis Walk." But I have been unable 

 to trace these names. The species can not be a Cataclysta on account 

 of the absence of the tongue. 



MACROTHECA PCECILOSTIGMA, new species. 



Fore wing sordid luteous, powdered with dull crimson, which forms 

 a streak on the costa at base and a large patch about tornus, rising 

 nearly to the cell; a round black discal dot, large or minute. Hind 

 wing pale fuscous. Expanse, 10 mm.
