NO. 2043. NEW MICROLEPIDOPTERA FROM PANAMA— BUSCE. 25 



The long and rather stout antennae and the remarkably long ter- 

 minal joint of the labial palpi easily separate this genus. It differs 

 from Lupercalia Busck, Filinota Busck, and Mnesichara Walsingham, 

 which it resembles in the long antennas, in having vein 7 of the fore- 

 wing to termen, in 3 and 4 of the forewing separate, and in 3 and 4 

 of the hindwing stalked, not coincident. 



RHINDOMA ROSAPICELLA, new species. 



Labial palpi blackish brown; terminal joint with light oclireous 

 tip. Antennae light ochreous. Head and thorax blackish brown; 

 face a shade lighter. Forewings with large dorsal patch, reaching to 

 the end of the cell, blackish brown; costal ajea above this patch and 

 terminal area beyond it light ochreous ; at apical third is an elongate 

 blackish brown costal streak edged toward the base with orange scales 

 and apically with Ught rose-colored scales; these latter persist in a 

 narrow band around apex and include a dark brown subapical spot;" 

 a few rose-colored scales are also found below the costal spot and an 

 indistinct and ill-defined orange streak crosses the apical light ochreous 

 area. 



Hindwings dark brownish fuscous, with rose-colored tip . Abdomen 

 brownish fuscous above, underside and anal tuft ochreous. Legs 

 light ochreous, shaded externally with blackish brown; tarsal joint 

 dark brown with narrow ochreous annulations.
