CHALCOECIA HEOCHROA, new species. 



Allied to C. emessa Druce, but lighter colored and smaller. Hind 

 wing pale straw color, shaded with reddish brown on margm. Fore 

 wing paler than m emessa, the basal space rosy violet, the shading 

 on mner haK of median space olive brown; outer line excurved in the 

 middle. Expanse, 27 mm. 



Coty pes.— Two females, No. 15845, U.S.N.M.; Alhajuelo, April, 

 1911 (Busck). Also a male and two females from Aroa, Venezuela 

 (Schaus collection). 



CLOSTEROMORPHA RUFIFACTA, new species. 



Similar to C. renipUga Felder ; the large costal patch is brown-red, 

 ending in black outwardly; the ground color is suffused with reddish; 

 the Imes are faint, the outer bent at an obtuse angle; the discal 

 marks small, faintly pale ringed. Expanse, 30 mm. 



Cotypes.—Two females. No. 15858, U.S.N.M.; Trinidad River, 

 March and June, 1912 (Busck). 



A male of this form is before me from Omai, British Guiana (W. 

 Schaus). 



Since preparing this description, a female from St. Jean, French 

 Guiana, has been sent to the Museum by Mr. Schaus, labeled " C. 

 cupreiplaga Hamps.," a manuscript name at the time but lately 

 published.* 



AMOLITA SENTALIS Kaye. 



30. Porto BeUo, February, 1911 (Busck); Taboga Island, Febru- 

 ary, 1912 (Busck); Corozal, Canal Zone, March and April, 1911 

 (Busck); La Chorrera, April, 1912 (Busck); Alhajuelo, April, 1911 

 (Busck) ; Cabima, May, 1911 (Busck). 



This is a very small species. The North American A. oUiqua 

 Smith is very similar in markings, but of twice the size and I beUeve 

 a distinct species, not a synonym of sentalis. In oUiqua a faint 

 longitudinal band runs below the cell and joins the inner of the two 

 lines. This is only sHghtly indicated in sentalis. 



AMOLITA PEPITA, new species. 2 



A medium-sized species, marked as in sentalis Kaye. The inner 

 of the two lines is distinct and broad, black next the apex, partly

2 Three other forms in the coUection have been confused, and may be characterized as follows: 

 AMOLITA SOLITARIA, new species. 



Like A obliqua Smith, but the inner line as it turns to run below the cell is bent at a rather sharp angle 

 and becomes attenuated, not running broadly and evenly as in obliqua. The wings are less pomted at 

 apex than in obliqua. Expanse, 21 mm. 



Type— FemaXe, No. 15848, U.S.N.M.; Demerara, British Guiana (Schaus coUection). 

 AMOLITA INTENSA, new species. 



Lmes traversing the whig, the mner broad, diffused, shaded with red; outer slender, sometimes obsolete. 

 Wing somewhat longitudmaUy shaded; not irrorate; discal dots punctiform, smgle. Hmd wing pde 

 straw color. Expanse, 23-26 mm. „ ,. ^ 



Cotypcs.-One male, three females, No. 15849, U.S.N.M.; Castro, Parana, Brazil (Schaus collection). 

 AMOLITA PARANOMA, new species. 



Pale straw color; fore wing heavily irrorated in the female, scarcely at all so in the male; lines slender, 

 powderv, oblique, parallel, both crossmg the wing; a brown line on median vein and its branches; discal 

 dots small, distinct, black, the outer usually doubled. Hind wmg whitish, with straw-color tmt. Small 

 terminal dots on both wmgs. Expanse, 24-30 mm. 



Cotypes.— Two males, three females, No. 15850, U.S.N.M.; Castro, Parana, BrazU (Schaus collection).
