June, 1907.] DyAR: NeW AMERICAN MOTHS. 109 



Cirrhophanus dubifer, new species. 



Close to C. dyari Cockerel!, but differing as follows : Larger, the thorax especi- 

 ally heavier and more robust ; the outer line retreats more rapidly from the costa. 

 leaving a broad clear space, and retreats less at vein 2, the indentation being smaller, 

 Hind wings blacker at the base than in 9 C". dyari, the margin paler, more nearly 

 whitish and somewhat broader. Expanse, 38 mm. 



One female, No. Soi, from Mr. R. Miiller (of Mexico City) with- 

 out exact locality. 



Type. — Cat. No. 10333, U. S. Nat. Mus. 



Perigea hypocritica, new species. 



Thorax and fore wings bronzy brown, the thoracic crests tipped with white and 

 a double row of white points on the basal abdominal segments. A group of .six white 

 points at the base ; seven points on the costa ; three rather large points centrally in 

 the place of the inner line ; orbicular, a yellowish dot with three white points beyond 

 it ; reniform white, yellow tinted, expanded a little below, surrounded by large and 

 small white points, those beneath the reniform fused into a curved bar ; outer line 

 faintly indicated, yellowish, crenulate ; four rounded white spots above and one near 

 anal angle represent the subterminal line ; a terminal row of small white dots and 

 white specks at the apex of the brown fringe. Hind wings fuscous, whitish basally, 

 or nearly all whitish, the fringe whitish (not yellowish). Expanse, 27 to 30 mm. 



Twelve specimens, one from Bolivia (the type), two from Coate- 

 pec, Mexico (Schaus collection), nine, Orizaba and Cordoba, Mexico 

 (R. Muller, No. 441). 



Type. —Cat. No. 10335, U. S. Nat. Mus. 



Rather nearly allied to P. stelligera Guenee, but smaller, approach- 

 ing P. circuita Guen. The white spots are larger and fewer than in 

 stelligera, more numerous than in circuita. 



Perigea pagetolophus, new species. 



Fore wings bronzy brown with many small white spots, arranged as in P. stelli- 

 gera Guen., but even more numerously clustered about the reniform and at base ; the 

 orbicular and reniform are nearly white, only a little tinted with yellow. Hind wings 

 whitish-shaded over the disk between the veins. Thorax with a high, loose, anterior 

 crest, all the vestiture between the collar and patagia erected and tipped with white, 

 giving a gray, frosted appearance. Abdominal dorsal hairs tipped with white, except 

 on the last segment. Expanse, 28 to 30 mm. 



Three specimens, Jalapa, Mexico (Schaus collection), labelled 

 Perigea stelligera Gn. 



jy/^. — Cat. No. 10336, U. S. Nat. Mus. 



The species is smaller than stelligera, less bronzy, but most distinct 

 by the high dorsal frosted gray crest of the thorax and abdomen.
