to I of dorsum, obtusely angulated below middle; a transverse- 

 linear dark fuscous mark on end of cell ; a small dark fuscous spot 

 on middle of costa, whence a series of small indistinct dark fuscous 

 marks runs obliquely outwards to beyond cell, thence angulated to | 

 of dorsum, and a curved dark fuscous line from a spot on costa at 

 I to dorsum before toruus, dorsal space between these forming a 

 dark grey blackish-edged blotch reaching to near middle ; an irre- 

 gular blotch of dark fuscous suffusion extending over apex and 

 upper half of termen : cilia grey mixed with dark fuscous, towards 

 tornus suffused with whitish. JBLindwings dark grey, paler towards 

 dorsum ; cilia light grey, with dark grey subbasal line. 



French Guiana, E. Maroui ; three specimens. Very similar to 

 2wnderata, but larger, much more irrorated, and without the con- 

 spicuous black dashes and downcurved line of the median area.

GONADA Busck. 

 The generic characters are erroneously given by Mr. Busck, who 

 states that all 12 veins are present in the forewings, whereas in 

 fact vein 8 is absent, 7 an d 9 stalked ; he subsequently described a 

 second species without detecting his error. It is an interesting 

 form, allied to the New Zealand Gymnohathra, from which indeed, 

 if the characters had been as stated, it would not have been dis- 

 tinguishable. ;
