MIcCROCAUSTA FLAVIPUNCTALIS sp. nov. (PI. I, Fig. 4). 
Primaries brown crossed by two parallel darker lines, curved outward 
below costa and then inwardly oblique to inner margin; an orange dot at end 
of cell and apical margin of wing shaded with orange. Secondaries whitish 
with a large orange patch in cell; outer margin slightly smoky. Beneath, 
whitish, slightly smoky, with traces of a smoky, submarginal line on secondaries. 
Expanse 9 mm. 
Hasirat. Ft. Myers, Fla. (Apr. 1-7). 1 @. Type, Coll. Barnes. 
The markings are similar to those of ignifimbrialis Hamp. but 
our new species is at once recognized by the orange patch on sec- 
ondaries. If it had not been for this very distinctive feature we had 
scarcely dared describe the species as our specimen is decidedly worn. 
Structurally it belongs without a doubt in the genus Microcausta 
Hamp. 
STENOPTYCHA SOLANALIS sp. nov. (PI. IV, Fig. 6). 
Palpi covered with purplish-ochreous and blackish scales; head and 
thorax largely pale purplish admixed with ochreous; abdomen blackish, admixed 
with ochreous and with basal segments pale ochreous with a dark band at 
extreme base of abdomen; primaries deep purplish, slightly iridescent, especially 
along inner margin; outer portion of costa to near apex rather broadly ochreous 
with 3 or 4 dark spots; maculation indistinct; in the fold about 1/2 way 
from base to anal angle is an elongated claviform mark edged outwardly with 
pale ochreous; at end of cell is a lunate dark reniform mark, more or less 
open at top and bottom, filled with pale ochreous and edged slightly outwardly 
with same color; a dark postmedian line arising from costa between spots 2 
and 3 and very oblique outwardly crossing the ochreous space, then sharply 
angled, slightly sinuate and subparallel to outer margin to a point below reni- 
form where it stops, not attaining inner margin; a pale line very close to outer 
margin followed at anal angle by a dark patch; fringes dark, white patch 
above anal angle. Secondaries smoky, broadly paler along inner margin; dark 
scale patch beyond cell; inner margin scaled with black; fringe whitish, blackish 
apically. Beneath, smoky, costa ochreous; markings of upper side very slightly 
visible; secondaries much as above. Expanse 19 mm. 
Hasitat. Everglade, Fla. (Apr. 16-23). 2 9. Type, Coll. Barnes. 
The species was bred from larvae collected on Solanum sp. along 
with L. integra Zell. The genus has not yet been recorded from N. 
America; our specimens agree in venation with Hampson’s figure.
