A NOTE ON TALARA RUFICOLLIS SCHAUS 



{Ltpi dopier a, Lithosiidct) 

 By HARRISON G. DYAR 



Talara mficollis Schaus (Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc, iv, 149, 1896) was 

 placed by Hampson in Illice (Cat. Lap. Phal. Brit. Mus., ii, 373, 1900). 

 An examination of the 9 type hom Sao Paulo, S. E. Brazil, shows that 

 in reality vein 5 of hind wing is absent. The species feills by Hampson s 

 table into Hypoprepia, from which it differs in vein 1 1 of fore wing being 

 straight and oblique, not curved and approximated to 1 2. The new name 

 Paraprepia is therefore proposed, type Paraprepia ruficollis Schaus. 



There is another 9 of this species in the collection from Castro, Parana, 

 Brazil. Associated with these females was zJso a male, labeled Talara 

 ruficollis Schaus ; but it differs in venation, falling by Hampson's table to 

 Illice, except that the palpi are not upturned, but obliquely ascending. 

 It will form a new genus, falling with Miltochrista, but differing in having 

 vein 1 1 straight and oblique. It may be named 



Parillice deceptans, new genus and species. 



Coloration of Paraprepia ruficollis Schaus, except that the posterior 

 hjJf of vertex of head is orange as well as the tegulae. TTie neck and 

 basal joint of palpi are orange in both. Expzinse, 1 9 mm.
