Should my description refer to a new species then I propose for it 

 the name of C. govara. 



AGARISTIDyE. 

 Arpia, gen. nov. 



Palpi short, porrect, pubescent. Anteunce long, filiform. Primaries straight on 

 the costal margin and inner margin ; the outer margin oblique in the $ , slightly 

 convex in the 9 ; vein 6 from upper angle of cell ; veins 7, 8, 9, from a point at end 

 of small areolet. Secondaries with the neuration as in Copidyras, from which this 

 genus differs chiefly in the arrangement of veins 7, 8, 9, on the primaries. 



Arpia janeira, sp. nov. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen dark grey ; patagite reddish brown. Primaries 

 with the costa broadly greyish fawn color, separated from the outer and posterior por- 

 tion of the wing, which is dark brown, by a fine white line which starts from the 

 costa near the apex, descends obliquely below vein 4, curves upwards into the end of 

 the cell, again descends oblic[uely, nearly touching a large dark brown spot, oval in 

 shape, which occupies the base of the inner margin, and then recedes to the inner 

 margin near the angle. Secondaries yellow with a broad black margin. Under- 

 neath yellow; the secondaries margined with dark brown; the primaries with the 

 costa narrowly, the apex broadly brown, and a transverse broad brown band from the 

 costa to the inner margin near the angle. Expanse, 42 mm. 



Habitat : Rio Janeiro. 



Phasis meridiana, sp. nov. 



Head and thorax black. Abdomen yellow with a subdorsal and a lateral yel- 

 low line. Primaries black with a creamy yellow oblique band beyond the cell from 

 the subcostal to vein 2. Secondaries bright yellow with all the margins very broadly 

 black, limiting the yellow to a very small space. Underneath the yellow band on 

 the primaries is wider. Expanse, 48 mm. 



Habitat : Rio Paranapanema, S. Brazil. 



LITHOSIID.4^:. 

 Maspha coresa, sp. nov. 



Head black. Collar and patagiae golden yellow. Thorax dark grey, abdomen 

 yellow. Primaries : basal half golden brown including a large golden yellow space 

 from the base ; beyond golden yellow with a bright carmine spot ; the outer margis 

 broadly golden brown advancing inwardly about the center and touching the carmine 

 spot. Secondaries orange red with the fringe brown. Underneath primaries orange 

 with the apex and outer margin brown ; the secondaries yellow. Expanse, 15 mm. 



Habitat : Sao Paulo, S. E. Brazil. 



Talara rosacea, sp. nov. 



Head grey, posteriorly red ; collar grey, laterally red ; thorax dark grey ; abdo- 

 men grey, the base and anus red. Primaries pink, the inner margin broadly dark 

 grey. Secondaries red. Underneath red, the inner margin on the primaries narrowly 

 grey. Expanse, 17 mm. 



Habitat: Sao Paulo, S. E. Brazil.
