Fore wing with the basal area orange yellow, crossed by a straight 

 subbasal Hne; a broad inner band, narrowing toward inner margin, 

 cut by a white dash on costa; costa beyond gray, widening to a quad- 

 rate patch containing the pale, obscure discal dash; the rest of the

Ty^^e.— Female, No. 16185, U.S.N.M.; Porto BeUo, March, 1911 

 (Busck). 



CATACLYSTA UNILINEALIS, new species. 



Costa gray from base, apex white, crossed by a distinct dark gray 

 obhque bar; inner area shaded with yellow; termen yellow; a gray 

 dash at tornus. Hind wdng irregularly yellow; terminal dots fused 

 with a small space before them. Expanse, 7 mm.

CATACLYSTA MIGNONALIS, new species. 



Fore wing broadly shaded with dark gray, soUdly from base along 

 costa, incompletely cut by a whitish iimer line and outer dash; discal 

 mark narrow, pale, obhque ; some white before the yeUow anal area, 

 which is partly bounded by a broken dark arc; a slender white dash

 violaceous ground, a small white space before. Expanse, 13-18 mm. 



Gotypes. — Male and female. No. 16187, U.S.N.M.; Chiriquicito, 

 April, 1907 (W. Schaus). Also four from same place and Chiriqui, 

 May, 1907 (W. wSchaus). Mr. Schaus collected a series of this species 

 in Costa Rica, but he labeled the specimens jalapalis Schaus. From 

 jdlapalis { = orizahalis Schaus) the present species differs conspicu- 

 ously in a number of characters. Q. mignonalis, rather, is allied to 

 0. amatliystina Schaus, but that has the dark basal areas vacuolated 

 with white. 0. jalapalis has no dark basal area on the hind wing. 



CATACLYSTA SYMPHONALIS, new species. 



Fore wing nearly solidly blackish at base, followed by a wliite Hne, 

 then a slender blackish one bent on submedian; median space whitish 

 below, soHdly blackish powdered on costa; outer Hne zigzag, fol- 

 lowed by two white obhque areas above and one below; between the
