 middle, some scattered dots, and three small spots towards apex ; 

 some small scattered dark fuscous spots along dorsum and termen, 

 and a transverse spot from beyond middle of dorsum reaching 

 margin of cell ; some irregular blotching of dark fuscous irroration 

 in posterior half of cell, and a transverse white mark on end of 

 cell; some irregular marking of dark fuscous irroration towards 

 apex : cilia pale greyish-ochreous sprinkled whitish. Hindwings

Colombia, San Antonio, 5800 feet, November ; one specimen. 



OTOCHARES, n. g. 



Head rough -haired ; ocelli posterior; tongue rudimentary. 

 Antennae |, in S ciliated, basal joint moderate, with long pointed 

 projecting tuft of hairscales. Labial palpi moderately long, por- 

 rected, second joint with rough projecting scales beneath, terminal 

 joint nearly as long as second, hardly pointed. Maxillary ])alpi 

 several-jointed, folded, filiform. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs 

 above. Forewings with 1 b furcate, 2 from towards angle, 7 and 8 

 approximated at base or stalked, 7 to costa, 1 1 from i. Hindwings 

 under 1, elongate-ovate, cilia 1 ; 2-4 parallel, 5 and 6 stalked, 

 7 parallel. 



Type gi/psopa Meyr. This interesting form is undoubtedly allied 

 to Choropleca, and explains its origin (previously very obscure) by 

 connecting it with Tinea.
