NO. 2048. NEW MICROLEPIDOPTERA FROM PANAMA— BVSCK. 9 



A very good example of protective coloration. All of the thirty-odd 

 specimens were taken on mossy tree trunks in the deep forest and 

 their colors blended so well with those of the bark, that even when I 

 saw them alight and after they had been disturbed by a puff of tobacco 

 smoke, I would again and agam lose sight of these quite large speci- 

 mens. On one large tree trunk near Alhajuela, where the majority 

 of the specimens were taken, many hundred were quietly sitting and 

 could not be detected except by makmg them fly up, though I knew 

 they were there. 



ANACAMPSIS BISTRIGELLA, new species. 



Second joint of labial palpi black exteriorly with apical edge white; 

 inner side of second jomt and the terminal joint whitish ocherous with 

 a black dot just before the tip. Antennse ochreous with dark brown 

 annulations. Face, head, and thorax Ught ochreous fuscous. Fore- 

 wings light ochreous fuscous with white and blackish brown markings; 

 costal edge with thi-ee blackish markings, one from base to basal fourth 

 wdth a smaller projection obUquely outward, one an obliquely out- 

 wardly directed streak on the middle and the third a large spot cover- 

 ing apical third of the costal edge but interrupted by a thin, white, 

 transverse, outwardly angulated fascia across the wing at apical 

 fourth and by two, small, perpendicular streaks beyond this fascia; at 

 the angle of the fascials a narrow, longitudinal, black streak; apical 

 edge with a marginal, black streak; cell and dorsal part of the wing 

 mottled with several, irregular, small, blackish brown spots. Hind- 

 wmgs dark fuscous. Abdomen dark fuscous with light ochreous 

 underside. Legs fuscous; tarsi blackish brown with the tips of the

Alar expanse. — 8-9 mm. 



Habitat — Alhajuela and Cabima, Panama, April, May. 



Type-specimen.— C&t. No. 15822, U.S.N.M. 



It reminds one in coloration and pattern of the North American 

 Aproxrema nigratomella Clemens. 



ANACAMPSIS UNISTRIGELLA, new species. 



Very similar to the foregoing species though somewhat darker and 

 more greenish in color. The costal spots are nearly contiguous ; the 

 first one smaller than in Ustrigella; the second and third separated 

 only by a thin, white streak; there is only one white streaklet on the 

 costal margin beyond the fascia and the longitudinal, black streak at 

 the angle of the fascia is surrounded by white scales contiguous with 

 the fascia; at the end of the cell are two, elongate, black streaks and 

 the cell and dorsal part are not mottled. 



Alar expanse. — 8 mm. 



Hahitat. — Taboga Island, Panama, June.
