Cleora profanata sp. nov. (PI. XXV, Fig. 3). 



Front blackish, paler in lower portion ; head and thorax dull gray, with 

 blackish interantennal, prothoracic and mesothoracic transverse lines ; abdomen 

 gray with black bar on basal segment and two rows of black dots dorsally; pri- 

 maries a dull smoky gray, slightly shaded with brown, lines black, rather fine, 

 obsolete in costal portion ; t. a. line strongly bent outward below costa then 

 oblique to inner margin near base of wing with slight projections on cubital vein 

 and vein 1, preceded by a dull brownish shade; t. p. line straight below costa with 

 slight inward angle on vein 6 then rounded and strongly oblique to base of vein 

 3, forming a prominent outward bulge below vein 2 and again oblique to middle 

 of inner margin ; the t. p. line is preceded by a faint parallel median line only 

 distinct above inner margin and followed by a dull brownish shade ; s. t. line 

 white, crenulate, shaded diffusely on both sides with smoky; a diffuse, dark, sub- 

 apical, oblique shade ; terminal dark line with dots between the veins. Sec- 

 ondaries similar in color to primaries, with black band at base of wing; an 

 indistinct median shade-line followed by a small discal ringlet at times scarcely 

 more than a dot; a fine oblique t. p. line tending to become wavy toward costa 

 and followed by the same brownish shade as on primaries ; s. t. line whitish, 

 decidedly crenulate in costal half but straightening out toward anal angle ; 

 terminal waved dark line, the outer margin being quite strongly crenulate. 

 Beneath whitish, sprinkled with smoky, especially primaries, with discal dots on 

 all wings.

Very similar to the preceding and to obliquaria Grt. but duller in 

 color, fainter in maculation and with a more irregular t. p. line and 

 more crenulate margin of secondaries in $ sex, this sex being practi- 

 cally similar to the 9 sex in wing shape and maculation in contra- 

 distinction to its allies which show considerable sexual dimorphism. 

 The $ genitalia (PI. XXX, Fig. 6) are very similar to those of the 

 preceding species but show certain points of distinction in the length of 

 the terminal hooks of the Valvae and the Uncus. 



Cleora (selidosema) anellula sp. nov. (PI. XXV, Fig. 4). 



Head and thorax grayish ; wings dull grayish white heavily suffused and 

 sprinkled with smoky-brown ; primaries with t. a. line dark, strongly rounded 

 outwardly from costa to cubital vein, then inwardly oblique to inner margin 

 one fourth out with a faint tooth on vein 1 ; this t. a. line is preceded by a 

 diffuse broad subparallel shade ; median shade obsolete at costa, arising from an 

 indistinct dark blotch representing the discal dot, equidistant from and sub- 

 parallel to the t. a. and t. p. lines ; t. p. line indistinct from costa to vein 6, 

 apparently slightly dentate and parallel to outer margin, below vein 6 distinct, 

 blackish, strongly bent in to base of vein 3, then subparallel to t. a. line, followed 

 by a diffuse smoky brown shade from which it is separated above inner margin 

 by a narrow white line ; veins in subterminal area faintly marked in black ; an
