﻿8 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 59 



Alar expanse : 26 millimeters. 

 Habitat: Cabima, Panama, May. 

 Type No. 14534, U. S. Nat. Mus. 



Closely allied to P. maroniella Busck, and P. notandella Busck, 

 though at once distinguished by its gorgeous coloration. 



Family HEMEROPHILIME 

 ORDRUPIA FANNIELLA, new species 



Labial palpi dark brown ; the terminal joint is deflected forwards, 

 tortricia-fashion, and this may be the natural position also in the 

 type of genus friserella, Busck. Face whitish ochreous. Head and 

 thorax dark purplish brown. Forewings dark brown with a rich 

 satin lustre; the scaling on the basal half of the wing is heavy and 

 uneven, producing an undulating effect similar to that found in the 

 forewings of certain limacodid moths ; this is heightened by the tips of 

 the scales appearing lighter-colored in certain lights. Hindwings dark 

 brownish fuscous. Abdomen dark brown; lighter brown on the 

 under side ; legs brownish fuscous. 



Alar expanse: 36 millimeters. 



Habitat: Cabima, Panama, May. 



Type No. 14535, U. S. Nat. Mus. 



Closely allied to the type of the genus 0. friserella, but larger, 

 darker and with more rounded wings. 



Due to my absence, while the paper was in press, .the generic name 

 Ordrupia was misspelled three times in the original description 

 (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., Vol. 40, p. 228), twice through the omission

 The first of these misprints was unfortunately repeated in the table of 

 contents to the bound volume of the Proceedings. 



Family TINEID^ 

 PARATHYRIS PERSPICILLA Stoll. 



Uitlandsche Kapellen, Vol. 5, p. 74, pi. 16, fig. 3. 1791. 

 In this remarkable genus the females have large feathered an- 

 tenna? similar to those of the male Saturniidse, while those of the 

 males are much smaller and simpler in form. This anomalous con- 

 dition is not known elsewhere among the Lepidoptera, if in any 

 other insects. Normally the males of the insects have the more 

 specialized and larger antennae. It would be interesting to learn 

 whether this reversed development of the antennae in Parathyris is
