somewhat before middle, costa gently arched, apex rounded, termen 

 rounded, vertical ; white; a fuscous basal dot above middle; three 

 or four fuscous marks near base indicating an interrupted oblique 

 line; dorsal area bejond this with some vague pale fuscous suffu- 

 sion, and with a rather dark fuscous suJBPused triangular blotch in 

 middle and larger quadrate blotch before torn us reaching half across 

 wing ; a fuscous line from beneath costa at i, very acutely angu- 

 lated first outwards and then inwards, running into median dorsal 

 blotch ; a rather dark fuscous longitudinal line from inward angle 

 of this to near end of cell, and a shorter one beneath posterior half 

 of this ; a short fuscous longitudinal mark above middle of this ; 

 a line fuscous line beneath costal edge from 4- to beyond middle ; 

 an interrupted rather dark fuscous line from before middle of costa 

 to upper anterior angle of prsetornal blotch, and a slightly curved 

 from I of costa to its posterior angle ; some faint pale fuscous 

 suffusion towards costa posteriorly and termen ; eight well-marked 

 dark fuscous marginal dots round apex and termen : cilia white. 

 Hiiidwings grey, base suffused with whitish, apical edge whitish ; 

 costa expanded from base to |, with long rough projecting hair- 

 scales broadly suffused with dark fuscous beneath, and long whitish 

 subcostal hairponcil from base lying beneath forewings ; cilia 

 whitish, base tinged with grey. 



Fhench Guiana, St. Jean, R. Maroni ; two specimens. A$ 

 example from same locality is probably the other sex of this species ; 

 similar in appearance, but abdomen grey, markings of forewiugs 

 thicker and darker, a dark fuscous transverse discal mark adjoining 

 anterior angle of pra3tornal blotch, posterior line interrupted 

 beneath costa, a waved suffused dark fuscous mark just within 

 apiciil margin, marginal dots obsolete, hindwiugs rather dark grey, 

 cilia of both wings mostly suffused with grey. The black markings 

 on the abdomen of c? are a striking distinctive character. 



Antaeotricha axena, n. sp. 

 c? . 21-22 mm. Head white, sides of face fuscous, crown suffused 

 with fuscous except on sides. Palpi white, second joint sufl'used 

 with fuscous on basal |, terminal joint fuscous at base. Antennal 

 ciliations 1|. Thorax fuscous. Abdomen whitish-fuscous. Fore- 

 wings elongate, rather narrow, costa gently arched, apex rounded, 

 termen rounded, somewhat oblique ; fuscous-grey, lighter towards 

 •costa and posteriorly, veins beyond cell obscurely suffused with 

 whitish, costal edge white except towards base, apical area beyond 

 posterior line wholly white ; three very undefined suffiised darker 

 fuscous blotches occupying dorsal area except narrow interspaces, 

 reaching about ^ across wing ; three somewhat irregular oblique 

 dark fuscous lines rising from suffused spots on costa, first 

 two partially edged anteriorly with white suffusion, first running 

 to upper anterior angle of second dorsal blotch, second slightly 

 curved, to upper anterior angle of third dorsal blotch, third some- 

 what sinuate, to its posterior angle; five dark fuscous marginal 

 dots round apex and termen ; cilia white, becoming pale fuscous on
