6 INSECUTOR INSCITlit MENSTRUUS 



Anomis rufescens Schaus. 



Anomis rufescens Schaus, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., (8), vii, 80, 191 1. 



TTiis and the following five species are all very much alike in color 

 and markings, the females bemg scarcely separable. TTie males separate 

 easily on the modifications of the patagia and presence or absence of hair 

 on the hind tibiae. The present species has the patagia remarkably 

 sw^oUen £md hairy. 



Anomis eucystica Dyar. 



This will be described in my fourth paper on Mexican Lepidoptera 

 to appear in the Proceedings of the United States National Museum. 

 Besides Mexican specimens, I have a male from Costa Rica which Mr. 

 Schaus has labeled "Anomis fornax Gn. in B. M." but perhaps atten- 

 tion was not paid to the secondary sexual characters. The superficial 

 appearance is exactly that of fornax. I have also a male from Chancha- 

 mayo [Peru] that is apparently the same species. 



Anomis stigmocraspis, new species. 



Male with swelling at base of fore wing inconspicuous ; patagia nor- 

 mal ; mid tibiae with dense hairs above ; hind tibiae Vkdthout long hairs. 

 Fore -wing tawny gray to reddish, irrorated with brown, the margin darkly 

 shaded ; lines dark, pale-edged, the pale generally predominating ; the 

 lower straight segment of the outer line often joined with the reniform to 

 make the appearance of a straight line nearly across the wing ; discal dots 

 small, faint, or the lower segment of the reniform marked with white ; 

 fringe white or whitish, with blackish spots between the veins, the central 

 angle prominent, dark. Hind wing blackish. Expanse, 27 mm. 



Cotypes, two males, four females. No. 1 5399, U. S. N. M., Bonito 

 Province, Pernambuco, Brazil, February, 1883 (A. Koebele). 



The specimens are ver>' small, but as they seem to have been all 

 bred (presumably on cotton), they may be undersized. I believe that 

 this is what Hiibner represents as the female of Anomis exacta. The 

 male, carrying the name, I identify as another species. 



Anomis gymnopus Dyar. 



This species also will be described in my fourth Mexican paper. 

 Besides the male type there is a female, very red, from Chiriqui [Panama] 

 (Ribbe) labeled "Anomis humeralis Gn." but I am unaware of any such 

 species.
