PYRAUSTA LIOPASIALIS, new species. 



Wings with the margins nearly parallel, apex and tornus rounded; 

 blight straw-yellow, more or less suffused with brown-gi'ay, some- 

 times completely; lines slender, brown, crenulato, the inner curved, 

 the outer excurved centrally and approaching the outer margin; 

 orbicular and reniform annular. In the pale forms the suffusion is 

 reddish, in scattered patches; in darker ones the median space 

 becomes solidly suffused; in the darkest ones the suffusion covers 

 the whole wing uniformly, the lines being greatly obscured. Hind 

 wing pale at base with brown or fuscous tip. Abdomen with a wliite 

 dorsal patch at tip in the male only. Expanse, 27 mm. 



Type.— Male, No. 16165, U.S.N.M.; Trinidad River, March, 1912 

 (Busck). Also 11 others from the same place and date, except 2 

 which were taken June, 1912. 



Very close to P. rliodoye Hampson from Cuba, but mucli less red, 

 of a clearer yellow ground, and generally lai^er. 



PYRAUSTA PLOIMALIS, new species. 



Wliitish, creamy, more strongly tinged with brown along the mar- 

 gins; lines broad, blurred, with scattering of black scales over the 

 wings and in patches especially at middle of outer margin and tornus 

 of fore wing and apex of hind wing; a dot at base of costa and one 

 in cell near base; inner lino with a blunt tooth on median and vein 1 ; 

 orbicular punctiform, reniform elliptical, solid; outer line excurved 

 mesially, retracted to reniform, wavy to inner margin; terminal dots 

 small. Hind wing with discal dot, outer line, and tenninal dots as 

 on fore wing. Expanse, 16 mm. 



T7/pe.— Male, No. 16164, U.S.N.M.; Corozal, Canal Zone, Novem- 

 ber, 1912 (C. P. Crafts). Also nine others from the same place, 

 April, 1911 (Busck), and August, 1912 (C. P. Crafts).

LENEODES MONETALIS Dyar (=DIANALIS Hampson). 



9. Taboga Island, February, 1912 (Busck); Corozal, Canal Zone, 

 March, 1911 (Busck), June, 1912 (C. P. Crafts), July, 1912 (J. 

 Zetek, C. P. Crafts); Porto Bello, December, 1912 (G. F. Cleveland). 



LINEODES VULNIFICA Dyar (=ENCYSTALIS Hampson). 



13.1 Taboga Island, February, 1912 (Busck); Corozal, Canal Zone, 

 July, 1912 (J. Zetek, C. P. Crafts). 



LINEODES MESODONTA Hampson. 



L Corozal, Canal Zone, eTuly, 1912 (C. P. Crafts). 



LINEODES FONTELLA Hampson. 



4. Porto BeUo, May, 1912 (Busck); Corozal, Canal Zone, Novem- 

 ber, 1912 (C. P. Crafts). 



• Four of the specimens are typical vulnifica; nine seem referable to tridentaiis Hampson, but I doubt 

 if the two forms are specifically distinct.
