NOTES ON COTTON MOTHS 5 



running in below on vein 3, then straight and inwardly oblique to inner 



margin ; veins of termincil area pale lined ; subterminal shade blackish, 



undulate. Hind wing pale scJmon red with grayish tint. Expanse, 45 mm. 



Type, male, No. 1 5394, U. S. N. M., Baracoa, Cuba (A. Busck). 



Anomis crassicomis, new species. 



Bright red, with dense yellow irroration. Fore wing of the male 

 with dowTi-tumed woolly hair at base above ; costa slightly swollen at 

 base and with a fovea beneath containing a few modified scales. An- 

 tennae thickened on the upper side at about the basal fourth. Hind 

 wing with woolly hair above at base, the scales erected to about three- 

 fourths of the wing. Inner line dusky, faint ; outer more distinct, strongly 

 excurved over cell, with median excavation, straight below reniform and 

 perpendicular to inner margin ; orbicular a white point ; reniform two 

 white dots, the upper small ; subterminal shade blackish, undulate, sub- 

 macular. Hind wing with the marginal fourth gray. Expanse, 45 mm. 



Cotypes, two males. No. 15395, U. S. N. M., Songo, Bolivia 

 (Schaus collection). 



The specimens were apparently purchased from Staudinger. One 

 bears a label " Gonitis superba Stgr." on the reverse of which is " v, rejc 

 Boisd." I have been unable to trace these names. 



Anomis regalissima, new species. 



Entirely simileur to A. crassicornis Dyar in color and markings, dif- 

 fering in the male secondary characters. Antennae uniform, not swollen 

 near base ; fore wing with only a little woolly hair at base ; swelling at 

 base of costa a little larger than in crassicornis but not conspicuous, the 

 fovea beneath little developed. Hind wing with the red hairs somewhat 

 less roughened than in crassicornis. Expanse, 53-56 mm. 



Cotypes, two males, No. 15396, U. S. N. M., Chaco, Bolivia; 

 Loja, Ecuador (Schaus collection), the former apparently purchased from 

 Staudinger, the latter from the collection of M. Paul Dognin. 



Anomis exaggerata Guenee. 



Anomis exaggerata Guenee, Spec. Gen. Lep., vi, 398, 1852. 

 Rather smaller than the preceding, but similar. The hind wings 

 have no red scales. The antennae are simple ; the fovea at base of costa 

 beneath has broad silvery modified scales. Two males and three females 

 from Brazil are before me.
