Halisidota thyophora, sp. nov. 



Body yellowish buff; two minute dark points on the collar. Primaries pale 

 yellow, somewhat diaphanous, the costal and inner margin yellower ; three basal, two 

 median, three outer and three terminal, fine, irregular transverse lines, the median 

 and outer lines becoming confluent on the inner margin ; on the costal margin some 

 black points indicate the lines and there is a submarginal black point between veins 

 5 and 6 ; some dark points on the fringe. Secondaries yellowish white. Expanse, 

 38 mm. 



Habitat : Aroa, Venezuela. 



I have used a Mss. name of Moritz on a specimen in the Saunders 

 collection at Oxford. This species is allied to H. cBiione Butl., with 

 which it agrees in neuration. Both are allied to texta H. S. in neura- 

 tion, but vein 8 is sometimes present as a short spur on the secondaries, 

 whereas all my specimens of texta are without it. 



Euhalisidota sablona, sp. nov. 



9 Body fawn color. Primaries fawn color with some buff spots at the base, 

 along the costa, in the cell and a subterminal row ; a few minute black scales scat- 

 tered over the wing. Secondaries pale buff, the outer margin broadly and irregu- 

 larly powdered with dark scales. Expanse, 58 mm. 



Habitat : Sao Paulo, S. E. Brazil. 

 Phaegoptera nexoides, sp. nov. 



Differs from P. tiexa H. S., in the greater extension of the brown on the pri- 

 maries, leaving only a basal white spot, a faint white median shade and a subterminal 

 white band. The collar has no white spots, but the patagire are broadly bordered 

 with white dorsally. The secondaries are yellowish white with the veins and a nar- 

 row marginal shade dark gray. Expanse, 55 mm. 



Habitat : Sao Paulo, S. E. Brazil. 



Phaegoptera chorima, sp. nov. 



Head and thorax black ; the collar posteriorly reddish ; a dorsal red spot on 

 the thorax and a reddish point on the patagice ; abdomen dorsally red ; a large 

 black subdorsal spot near the base ; beneath black with a lateral row of red spots. 

 Coxre red. Primaries grayish brown with darker shades ; a basal dark yellow band 

 edged with black, forming an angle on the median nervure and not reaching the 

 inner margin ; a yellow spot edged with black in the cell and connected by a black 

 shade with the costal margin ; an outer row of contiguous triangular spots bordered 

 with black ; some subterminal and terminal spots similarly colored but small. Sec- 

 ondaries smoky brown with some yellowish spots on the outer margin towards the 

 apex. Expanse, 72 mm. 



Habitat: Sao Paulo, S. E. Brazil. 

 A very close ally of F. fiimosa Butl. 



Phcegoptera rizoma, sp. nov. 



Head black, frons with two white spots. Collar black with a lateral white
