 By Geo. D. Hulst. 



1. Tetracis jubararia, sp. nov. 



Expands 42mm. The size and much the shape of T. UUrantiacaria Tack. The 

 head and thorax are ochreous, palpi dark ochreous, dark brown at tip. Antennae 

 and abdomen light ochreous. The wings are orange ochreous, quite uniform. The 

 t. a. line is rounded, angulate at the middle, the t. p. line oblique, sinuate; both dark 

 brown and heavier than usual. There is also a basal cross line of the same color, 

 starting at costa and running straight across reaching inner margin at t. a. line. 

 Fringe reddish brown. The wings are much marked with brownish striations on the 

 outer third. Hind wings lighter ochreous, darkest without. Outer line on the in- 

 ner half of the wing. All discal spots present and prominent above and below. Be- 

 neath hind wings ochreous, loosely but definitely striated with brown, fore wings 

 light ochreous, and without striations along inner margin. T. p. line very dark and 

 heavy on the anterior half only of all wings.

 and T. viellitularia Must. 



2. Leucula lacteolaria sp. nov. 



Expands 36 mm. Head light ochreous. Body and wings thinly scaled pure 

 silky milk white. On the fore wings are two jet black, very fine, slightly wavy lines, 

 running parallel with each other, and the outer margin. The apex is very rounded, 

 outer edge very retreating, the wing itself very narrow, so the lines are very oblique. 

 There is an indicated basal line present. Fringes black along margin between veins. 

 Beneath as above with lines fainter but distinct. Legs light ochreous or white, black 

 in front.

Differs from Guenee's species in that the veins are not marked with 

 gray. The wings are much narrower. The lines are waved black much 

 finer and more oblique, and the legs differ in color. 



3. Heterolocha ephelidaria sp. nov. 



This insect is of the same size and shape as H, edwardsaria Pack. 

 of which it may be a variety. It is cream white in color, generally with-
