3. Hind wings with a small median spot at or before the middle 4. 



No such spot in hind wings ; a complete preapical band forked behind ; no spots 

 on basal part of hind margin of hind wings venustus Bks. 



4. Hind wings with three bands, partly connected together, the apical with two pale 



spots, fore wings with complete bands 5. 



Hind wings without complete bands, all more or less broken, not connected 6. 



5. Hind wings with dark spots along hind margin before the middle; fore wings 



with apical third brown, and two bands siibdolus Walk. 



Hind wings without spots along hind margin before middle, fore wings with three 

 bands .fonnostis Bk s. 



6. Spots of anterior wings numerous and irregular, not forming bands, but rather 



along the apical and hind margin belhdus Bks. 



Spots of fore wings form three or four interrupted bands pretiosus Bks. 



Brachynemurus meridionalis, new species. 



Head pale, darker around bases of antennae, a brown band above antennce, rest of 

 vertex pale ; tips of palpi dark, antennje pale, tip dark ; pronotum yellowish, a brown 

 stripe each side; mesonotum brown, a pair of pale spots in front, and some streaks 

 behind ; meso- and metascutellum pale, each with a pair of brown stripes ; legs pale, 

 tips of tarsal articles darker ; abdomen blackish, pale at base. Wings hyaline ; fore 

 wings with whitish veins ; the costa on basal half, the hind margin, and all the longi- 

 tudinal veins are marked with small brown clouds at the end of each cross-vein ; 

 stigma indistinct ; at end of median vein, or rather where it first forks, is a larger dark 

 spot, and in the hind wings a much smaller one. Hind wings with dark veins, ex- 

 cept the sub-costa and radius, which are pale and marked with dark spots ; the radia- 

 sector at base, and the basal part of the cubitus also marked with pale. Three cross- 

 veins before radial sector in fore wings, two in hind wings. Expanse 50 mm.

Brachynemurus strigosus, new species. 



Head pale, a dark spot below each antenna, a median black line to labrum, a faint 

 dark dot on each side of labrum ; palpi pale ; antennje pale at base, darker toward 

 tip; vertex with a median black line, a transverse black line each side in front, with 

 an extension backward ; pronotum brown, above with three pale marks on front mar- 

 gin, and the extreme sides pale, median lobe of mesothorax mostly brown, with three 

 pale spots on each side, and one in middle behind ; the lateral lobes mostly pale, each 

 with three blackish spots ; mesoscutellum pale, with a black spot each side ; lateral 

 lobes of metathorax pale, with a transverse black mark, metascutellum blackish, with 

 a pale median line forked behind , abdomen pale brown, darker on tip ; legs pale, 

 tips of tibise and of tarsal joints black ; spurs as long as first two joints. Wings 

 hyaline ; fore wings with pale veins, mostly marked with dark brown in long 

 patches, the cubitus has two or three especially prominent long patches of brown, the 

 marginal veinlets are mostly brown, stigma yellowish, blackish at base. Hind wings 

 with mostly dark veins, no spots ; but the sub-costa and radius and part of radial 

 sector are interrupted with pale. Fore wings narrow, sub-falcate at tips, three cross- 

 veins basad of radial sector, the cubitus and median run closer together than in many 

 forms ; hind wings more narrow, and more strongly falcate at tips ; the fork of 

 cubitus runs parallel to anal for a long distance, two cross-veins basad of radial sec-
