Prorifrgns ouadrilineata n. sp. (Plate II, fig. 5.) 



S Head, thora.x and primaries brown, thickly grizzled with gray, giving a 

 general olive appearance ; antennae pale yellowish ; primaries crossed by four 

 pale straight lines; line I near base of wing, inclined slightly outwardly; line II 

 close to and almost parallel with I, inclined inwards towards inner margin ; 

 space between lines 11 and III twice as broad as spaces between other lines, 

 somewhat darker than remainder of wing, forming a median band, which con- 

 tains a small white discal spot; lines III and IV close together and parallel 

 beyond middle of wing; faint traces of a pale irregular subterminal line, end- 

 ing at anal angle with two prominent black spots separated by the anal vein. 

 Secondaries reddish-brown, more or less grizzled along margins, and crossed 

 by two faint pale median lines. Beneath much as above, both wings crossed 

 by two pale broadish median bands. Expanse $ 60 mm. 



Described from 2 S $. Type (Mexico) in Coll. Barnes. Co-type (Cor- 

 dova, Mexico) in U. S. N. M., No. 14249. 



This species was sent to us by Dr. Dyar labelled cliampioni Druce 

 on the authority of Schaus; the presence of the black spots at anal 

 angle of primaries, a fact neither mentioned in the description nor 

 visible in the figure, led us to believe that the species had been wrongly 

 identified ; we wrote Dr. Dyar on the subject and have recently had 

 word from him that he has just received an entirely different species 

 from Schaus from Costa Rica labelled championi, and that he thinks 

 the other species undescribed. As we can also find no description ap- 

 plicable to the specimens before us we venture to describe it as new. 

 It is closely related to a species from S. America labelled peruviana 

 Druce, but differs markedly in having the primaries olive-brown and 

 not red-brown: in certain points of venation it also dififers; our two 

 specimens have veins M, and M.j of primaries distinctly stalked; in 

 the single specimen of peruviana before us they are connate ; whether 

 the distinction would hold in a long series we are, of course, unable 

 to say. 



Prorifrgns antgnia Schaus. 



Mctanastria anlonia Schaus, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. VII (8) 370 (1911). 



Closely related to the preceding species ; the primaries more red- 

 brown in coloration ; the transverse lines more equidistant, the outer 

 two wider apart than in qitadrilineata. In the single specimen before 

 us veins M.^ and M., of secondaries are slightly stalked. 



Habitat : — Costa Rica.
