86 INSECUTOR INSCITIit MENSTRUUS 



Brazil, labeled by Mr. Warren. This species is very close to, if not the 

 same as Haemalea porphyrinata WeJker, and I leave it in this group in 

 deference to Warren's action, though with doubt. The structure is nor- 

 mal for Calyptocome, but the markings lead to Haemalea of similar 

 structure, cind to include all the forms led up to by conversa would ex- 

 tend the present paper beyond the limits contemplated. 



Calyptocome catagompha, new species. 



Large, dark purple ; hind wing with prominent rounded angle in outer 

 margin ; fore wing with subcostal duU luteous vitta ; lines slender, broken, 

 fragmentary, luteous, without dark edges. Beneath, wings purple, a broad 

 aiea of long black scales with metallic reflection extending from base of 

 both wings to beyond middle. Expanse, 1 9 mm. 



Type, c? , No. 1 5668, U. S. Nat. Mus. ; Porto Bello, Panama, April, 

 19I2(A. Busck). 



Calyptocome gerocoma, new species. 



Like the preceding ; smaller, not so dark purplish, the lines broader 

 and continuous, wavy. Beneath pale with little purple tint ; hind wing 

 only with area of long brown scales, limited sharply near middle of wing. 

 Expanse, 1 5 mm. 



Type, J, No. 15669, U. S. Nat. Mus.; St. Jean, Maroni River,

Of the following species I possess no male, and have omitted their 

 names from the table at the beginning of this article. 



Calyptocome phorcaria Guenee. 



Acidalia phorcaria Guenee, Spec. Gen., ix, 470, 1857. 

 Hyria concessala Walker, Cat. Brit. Mus., xxii, 659, 1 86 1 . 



Allied to purpurascens Hulst and variabilis Dyar, with the metallic 

 reflection to pairt of the purple scales. The specimens are duller in tone 

 than purpurascens, but possess the same tendency to darker basal and 

 terminal areas, though in a less degree. There is also some variation in 

 the ground color. The species really stands between the two. It is from 

 Jamaica.
