obscure curved Uaiisveise discal, and trans- 

 verse subinai'ginal bands of dark fuscous. 

 There is a faint dark marginal line. The 

 fringes are concolorous. Expanse, 35 mm. 



35. P. major, sp. nov. (J. Palpi, front, 

 and collar dark brown. Upper side of thorax 

 pale argillaceous. Upper side of abdomen 

 pale fuscous. Lower side of abdomen very 

 pale fuscous. The primaries have the basal 

 half pale lilacine, the outer half pale argilla- 

 ceous. There is a dark lunulate mark at the 

 end of the cell and three obscure dark spots 

 on the costa, one above the middle of the 

 cell, the other above the end, and the third 

 just before the apex. Below this fest spot 

 there is a similar obscure spot. There is a 

 dark ray at the base of the submedian nerve 

 and a very obscure and narrow waved trans- 

 verse limbal and transverse submarginal line. 

 There is a dark spot on the margin on the 

 middle of each of the interspaces. The 

 fringes are concolorous. The secondaries 

 are uniformly pale fuscous, lighter on the 

 outer margin. On the under side both wings 

 are very pale fuscous, inclining to ochra- 

 ceous. The secondaries have a minute discal 

 dot and an obscure transverse limbal line. 

 Expanse, 33 mm. 



The type was taken at Benita in the month 

 of February. 



HYPOGRAMMIDAE. 

 EuDR.\PA, Walk. 



36. E. (?) muliiscripta, sp. nov. J . 

 Palpi brown. Front gray. Collar olive- 

 brown. Upper side of thorax like the 

 collar; upper side of the abdomen fuscous; 

 lower side of thorax and abdomen paler, 

 tinged with pinkish. Legs pale ochraceous 

 with the tibiae margined with dark brown. 

 The primaries are obscure brownish-gray 

 with three dark spots on the costa, one 

 beyond the base, margined internally and 

 externally with light grayish lines, which 

 extend downwardly on either side to the 



cell. The second spot is located at the end 

 of the cell and is subtriangular with its 

 margin on the side of the apex perpendicular 

 to the costa. Beyond it is a pale gray shade 

 passing into a pale olive-brown shade, which 

 covers the apical third and is interrupted 

 just before the apex by the third dark brown 

 costal spot, which is accentuated on the costa 

 by two minute whitish spots. There is a 

 dark brown shade on the outer third of the 

 wing covering the region of the median 

 nervules. The wing is traversed by obscure 

 and interrupted transverse marginal, and 

 transverse submarginal dark lines, between 

 which on the nervules there is a series of 

 ininute chalky-white spots. The margin is 

 marked by minute dark hastate spots upon 

 the interspaces. The fringes are pale olive- 

 brown. The secondaries are dark fuscous, 

 paler on the costa and the inner margin. 

 The fringes are lighter. On the under side 

 the wings are fuscous with the cosia and the 

 outer margin tinged with pinkish. There 

 is an obscure discal spot in the primaries 

 and a very distinct sharply defined oval discal 

 mark on the secondaries pupiled with paler 

 gray. Both wings are traversed by obscure 

 zigzag transverse limbal and submarginal 

 lines, which are most sharply defined on the 

 secondaries. The fringes on the under side 

 are pinkish. Expanse, 53 mm. 



The type was taken at Benita. I refer the 

 species with a little doubt to the genus 

 Eudrapa, though comparison with Ettdrafa 

 mollis. Walk., indicates very close relation- 

 ship. Without more material, the reference 

 must remain doubtful.
