 appearance of this species is remarkably like that of Costoma hasiro- 

 sella Busck. and certain other La7npyrid-]ike Lepidoptera. (See p. 

 24.) 



STENOMA VnUDIS, new species. 



Second jomt of labial palpi light ochreous on the inner side, red- 

 viish brown exteriorly; terminal jouit whitish ochreous. Face dark 

 brown with dark ochreous lateral margins. Head violaceous brown. 

 Antenna3 dark gray with whitish underside and with ochreous brown 

 basal joiats. Thorax light brown sparsely sprinkled with black and 

 with posterior tip black. Basal half of the forewings light brown 

 sprinkled with black, outer half light leaf green, sprinkled with single 

 black scales; the limit between the green and the brown parts is 

 sharp and begms at basal tliird of costal edge, whence it runs 

 downwards and obhquely outwards to a sharp point below the end 

 of the cell and from there down and back to the middle of dorsal 

 edge; just before the tip of the brown projection mto the green is 

 a small, pure white spot; costal edge narrowly brown in its entii'e 

 length; apical and terminal edges broadly brown; cilia brown. Hind-

Habitat. — Trinidad River, Panama, March. 



Type-specimen.— Cut. No. 16716, U.S.N.M. 



A specunen which undoubtedly belongs to this species from Tuis, 

 Costa Rica, W. Schaus, collector, has the apical brown part much 

 larger than the type, extending over entire apical fourth part of the 

 wing and limitmg the green part to a large boot-shaped spot. This 

 and the folio wmg species are next to S. speratum Busck., and both 

 are alUed to S. trocJiilosticta Walsuigham.

 cous with posterior tip black. Forewuig dark brownish fuscous w4th 

 a greenish tint and strongly mottled with transverse, black striations; 

 at the end of the cell lies a large oblong leafgreen spot which is con-
