NO, 2043. NEW MICROLEPIDOPTERA FROM PANAMA—BUSICK. 43 



as in the preceding species; cilia dark fuscous. Hind wings light 

 fuscous, unicolored. Abdomen dark fuscous, with the first joints, 

 underside, and anal tuft light ochreous. Legs light ochreous. 



Alar expanse.— 18 mm. 



Hahitat. — Trinidad River, Panama, March. 



Type-specimen.— C?it. No. 16717, U.S.N.M. 



Closely allied to the foregoing species but smaller, darker, more 

 black mottled, and with the green area much smaller. 



STENOMA VIVIDELLA, new species. 



Labial palpi white, sprinlded with black, second joint with a large 

 basal black spot on the outside; terminal joint with a small black 

 spot at base and a black annulation before the tip. Face whitish. 

 Head white mixed with ochreous. Antennae ochreous with narrow 

 black annulations. Thorax ochreous, mixed with white and greenish 

 scales. Forewdngs light ochreous with the larger costal and apical 

 area white and green; the ochreous ground color occupies the dorsal 

 part of the wdng and sends a broad triangle upw^ard, the tip of 

 which nearly reaches the costal edge before the middle; this ochreous 

 space is sprinkled with white and greenish scales and contains a 

 large, ill-defined, light-green spot on the middle of the cell, in which 

 is found a small deep black dot; base of costal edge alternately 

 white and light green; from the middle of costa runs a broad out- 

 wardly oblique green streak dow^n to middle of termen; this green 

 streak contains a few, scattered, black scales and a larger, ill-defined 

 aggregation of black scales near termen; above it the wing is white 

 with two ill-defined green spots; across the middle of the wing and 

 apical third are indistinct, transverse ridges of raised scales; cilia 

 light ochreous with alternate black tipped, green and ochreous 

 spaces on the basal half, Hindwing triangular, dark fuscous; cilia 

 ochreous with a fuscous basal line. Abdomen light ochreous above, 

 whitish on the underside. Legs whitish ochreous, heavily barred 

 with blackish brown on their exterior side. 



Alar expanse. — 17-19 mm. 



Hahitat. — La Chorrera and Porto Bello, Panama. April, May. 



Type-specimen.— Csii. No, 16718, U.S.N.M. 



This species is alHed to 8. lactis Busck. llx. Meyrick uses the 

 generic name Agriophara Rosenstock, for this group, w^hich includes 

 S. acronitis Busck, -S'. mendoron Busck, S. nestes Busck, and S. apicalis 

 Busck, on the character "more or less developed tufts or ridges of 

 raised scales on the disk of the forewing," but this character is found 

 in many species which can not be closely associated with the above, 

 and I feel sure that the genus can not be maintained.
