GONODES CUNEATA, new species. 



Near G. liquida Moschler, smaller, brown costal area confined to a 

 small triangle not reaching below center of reniform and obliquely 

 cut below; outer line strongly excurved, forming an obtuse angle, 

 to which a broad streak nms from below apex, dislocated and con- 

 tinued to center of reniform. Expanse, 23 mm. 



Typg.— Female, No. 15852, U.S.N.M.; Cabima, May 1011 (Busck). 



GONODES DENSISSIMA, new species. 



Dark brown; fore wing with coppery tint, especially in terminal 

 space and inner area; Unes dark, obscure; a straight dark shade 

 from apex to before tornus is most distinct; inner, medial and outer 

 lines curved, slight, wavy; a waved and broken subterminal Une 

 near the margin, dark without, coppery mthin. Hind wing solidly 

 black-brown. Expanse, 28 mm. 



Type.— Female, No. 15838, U.S.N.M.; Trinidad River, IMarch, 

 1912 (Busck). 



The angulation on the outer margin is at vein 3 instead of 4 as 

 usual in the genus; the palpi are obliquely ascending instead of 

 sharply upturned; the eyes have long cilia from behind and below, 

 none at all from the upper side or in front. The species does not fit 

 well in Gonodes, or even in the subfamily Acronyctinae, but vein 5 of 

 hind wing is weak and arises from middle of discocellulars, so that it 

 can not be placed in the Plusiinse. 



MENOPSIMUS CRAMBIFORMIS, new species. 



Fore wing deep brown; inner line golden yellow, obscure, pro- 

 duced outward in an angle in cell; outer Hne far outward, with a 

 sharp outer angle in upper third preceded in the angle by a patch of 

 lilacine scales and followed by a broad band of these below; costa 

 at apex white-streaked; termen pale, with two or three black streaks; 

 a black line followed by dull golden before fringe; an obHque whitish 

 mark for reniform, joining outer line. Hind wing fuscous, Ughter at 

 base. Expanse, 12 mm. 



Type.—No. 15840, U.S.N.M., selected from a series of 32; Trinidad 

 River, May, 1911 (Busck); Paraiso, Canal Zone, May, 1911 (Busck); 

 La Chorrera, May, 1912 (Busck). 



Since preparing the above, I have examined the type of Hypenodes 

 dubia Schaus and beheve it to be the same species as Menopsimus 

 cramhiformis. The type of dubia, a female, is in such poor condi- 

 tion, rubbed and without palpi or legs, that I decide to let my new 

 name stand, preferring a synonym to a possible misidentilication. 



HYPENOPSIS MACULA Dnice.
