ing out and extending nearly to the margin of the wing. This is of a richer shade 

 than the patches of the superior wings. Anal tuft black. The markings are re- 

 peated beneath. Exp. wings, 55 mm. 3 examples. — No. 59. 



This beautiful insect has very much the system of coloration of the 

 species of losiades. 



Fam. ZYGJEmDJE. 



Triprocris basalis n. sp. 



Head, thorax, abdomen, legs and upper surface of primaries bright brassy 

 greenish black. Secondaries with wide dull black margins, the discal area sordid 

 white, seemingly somewhat transparent. Under surface of both wings brassy black, 

 the whitish patch less distinct than above. — No. 96. Exp. wings, 25 mm. 



Ctenucha imitata n. sp. 



Head black, with the front orange, with black hairs intermixed. Collar, base 

 of paipi, pectus, base of femora, lower side of abdomen, and the last segment above, 

 bright orange. The rest of the body and wings dull brassy black. Lower wings 

 dull black. — No. 99. Exp. wings, 36 mm. 



Nearly allied to C. modulata Hy. Edvv., but abundantly distinct. 



Ctenucha scepsiformis n. sp. 



Thorax, abdomen, and lower wings, bluish black. Primaries dull black, with a 

 greenish shade. Head with the front and base of antennae bright crimson. Base of 

 palpi also crimson, the tips black. Clypeus brassy. — No. 98. Exp. wings, 28 mm. 



With the aspect of Scepsis, and probably uniting that genus with 

 Ctenucha. It has however no vitreous space in the lower wings. 



Lycomorpha augusta n. sp. 



Wings a little wider than is usual in the species of Lycomorpha, the antennae are 

 longer, and with deeper pectinations. It may thus form the type of a new genus. 



Head, antennae, thorax, abdomen and legs bright bluish black. Primaries very 

 vivid crimson, with bluish black border, very broad apically, narrowing along post- 

 erior margin, very narrow on interior margin, and a mere line on costa. Apex clear 

 white. Below this the fringe is dusky. Secondaries dull black, costal edge crimson, 

 apex white, and fringe dusky. The markings are repeated on the lower side. 



Exp. wings, 35 mm. — No. 97. 

 A very magnificent species. 



Fam. ARCTIIDiE. 



Euhalisidota lurida n. sp. 



Entire color very pale, testaceous, with a few faint darker dashes, obliquely 

 from base to apex of primaries, and a dark shade on the middle abdominal segments 

 of the rj . The primaries are sharply produced at the apex in both sexes, and the 

 lower wings are slightly hyaline. Antennae of the cf dark testaceous, very long, and 

 deeply pectinated — those of the 9 are concolorous and simply serrate. 



Exp. wings, 52 mm. Length of body, 25 mm. — No. 67. 



Fam. BOMBYCIDiE. 



Bombyx habitus n. sp. 



Mouse color. Thorax whitish on the disk, and at the sides. Base ot the prim- 

 aries with a white blotch, interrupted by the ground color. The exterior line is also 

 white, dentate from internal angle to behind the cell, where it is lost in a whitish 

 cloud, containing a round mouse-colored spot. The space between this and the base
