CECOPHORID^. 217 



transverse series of dark grey dots from | of costa, broken inwards 

 on fold and terminating on dorsum beneath second discal stigma: 

 cilia whitish-ochreous. base obscnrely spotted grey. Hindwings 

 ])ale whitish-ochreous, more wliitish anteriorly ; cilia pale whitish- 

 ochreous. 



Bkitisii Guiana. Bartica, February (Parish); one specimen. 



' Machimia canoanodes, n. sp. 



d . 20 mm. Head, thorax brownish. Palpi whitish sprinkled 

 dark fuscous, basal half of second joint grey, terminal joint faintly 

 rosy-tinged, blackish-mixed. Antennal ciliations 2^. Abdomen 

 dark grey. Forewings elongate, hardly dilated, costa gently arched, 

 apex obtuse, termen rounded, somewhat oblique; brownish, faintly 

 pinkish-tinged: a dark fuscous dot on base of costa; stigmata 

 dark fuscous, plical obliquely beyond first discal ; a faintly indicated 

 excurved slightly darker line from | of costa to | of dorsum : cilia 

 pale pinkish-grey, base pale dull pinkish. Hindwings dark grey ; 

 cilia grey, darker towards base. 



FuENCH Guiana, 8t. Jean, R. Maroni, Juno ; one specimen. Much 

 like satiira (of which I have now a series), but forewings obviously 

 less broad posteriorly, colour ratlier different, and posterior line, 

 though very faint (in satura more distinct) is differently placed, 

 being nearly midway between second discal stigma and termen (in 

 satura nearer termen). 



^ TYROMANTIS, n. g. 



Head with loosely apjiressed hairs, sidetufts raised ; ocelli small, 

 posterior; tongue developed. Antennae |, in d strongly ciliated, 

 basal joint moderate, rather stout, without pecten. Labial palpi 

 extremely long, recurved, second joint more than twice length of 

 face, with rough projecting scales above and beneath, terminal 

 joint as long as second, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, 

 filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae with rough hair- 

 scales above. Forewings 1 b furcate, 2 from near angle, 7 absent, 

 11 from middle. Hindwings 1, oblong-ovate, cilia |; 3 and 4 

 connate, 5-7 parallel. 



In the absence of vein 7 the true affinity is doubtful, but perhaps 

 near Oymnohathra. 



Tyromantis metaxantha, n. sp. 



S . 19 mm. Head, thorax pale ochreous. Palpi ochreous- 

 whitish, second joint sprinkled brown. Antennal ciliations 3. 

 Abdomen yellowish. Forewings elongate, posteriorly slightly 

 dilated, costa gently arched, apex obtuse, termen rounded, rather 

 oblique ; light ochreous, suffusedly mixed brownish : stigmata 

 cloudy, dark brown, plical somewhat beyond first discal : cilia light 

 ochreous. Hindwings orange-yellow ; cilia light yellowish, 



Madagascar, Antananarivo ; two specimens. These exami)k'8 

 are not in good order, but the genus and species are very distinct.
