﻿6 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 59 



from material collected by the writer in Panama in 1907 and which 

 was also secured in 191 1, but arcanella can be at once differentiated 

 from this species by its black scaling. 



Family CECOPHORID^ 

 GONADA CABIMA, new species 



Second joint of labial palpi white; terminal joint tinged with red. 

 Lower part of face reddish white; vertex, head and thorax light 

 reddish brown, antennae reddish ochreous. Forewings reddish 

 brown, rather lighter towards the terminal edge and strongly suf- 

 fused with ochreous on basal half of dorsum. First and second discal 

 spots, small, inconspicuous black dots ; a similar plical dot on apical 

 third of the fold ; cilia brown. Hindwings light reddish ochreous ; 

 cilia yellow. Abdomen above reddish brown, each joint with a light 

 ochreous transverse line posteriorly. Entire under side of body 

 silvery white. Legs silvery white; anterior tibiae with a red longi- 

 tudinal line in front. 



The oral characters and the peculiar wing-form are identical with 

 those of the type of the genus, falculinella Busck ; the venation differs 

 slightly in the forewings in having the protruding lower part of the 

 cell narrower and veins 4 and 5 short-stalked, but the two species 

 cannot be separated generically; though rather similar also in size, 

 the two species are amply differentiated specifically by color and 

 pattern. 



Alar expanse : 23 millimeters. 



Habitat: Cabima, Panama, May. 



Type No. 14532, U. S. Nat. Mus. 



LUPERCALIA, new genus 



Labial palpi very long, slender, curved; second joint slightly thick- 

 ened with smoothly appressed scales ; terminal joint as long as second 

 joint, slim, acute. Antennae longer than the forewings, finely cili- 

 ated (1), and towards the tip serrated; basal joint with well devel- 

 oped pecten. Forewings long and narrow ; costa and dorsum 

 straight and nearly parallel; termen oblique; apex bluntly pointed. 

 12 veins; 7 and 8 stalked; 7 to apex; 9 out of stalk of 7 and 8; 2 

 from well before the end of the cell ; 3 and 4 stalked from the end of 

 the cell. Hindwings somewhat broader than the forewings ; costal 

 edge straight ; termen oblique ; apex bluntly pointed ; 7 veins ; 3 and
