POAPHILIDAE. 

 ACANTHOLIPES, Led. 



63. A. /i-iaiiffiilifera, sp. nov. ?. Head 

 and collar dark brown. Upper side of 

 thorax and abdomen fawn. Lower side of 

 tliorax and abdomen paler. Legs conrolor- 

 ous with the front margins of the tibiae and 

 femora darker brown. Primaries on the 

 upper side rosv-fawii, darker on the outer 

 margin. On the inner margin beyond the 

 base is a large subtriangular dark brown 

 spot. ■ The apex of this spot points toward 

 the costa, and from it a fine line is continued 

 upwardly to the costa. Beyond the apex of 

 this dark spot in the middle of the cell is a 

 small circular black spot: at the end of the 

 cell, a reniform spot. A fine irregularly 

 curved line runs from the costa above the 

 reniform around toward the inner margin, 

 fusing witli the large subtriangular dark 

 spot beyond the base near the point where 

 the first median nervule intersects the outer 

 margin of this large spot. Upon the costa 

 just before the apex is a moderately large 

 subtriangular dark brown spot. The margin 

 is marked by a few linear transverse lines 

 below the apex. The fringes are concolor- 

 ous. The fringes on the upper side are 

 fuscous, darkest on the outer margin. On 

 the under side, the wings are pale rosy-fawn, 

 the secondaries somewhat ligliter than the 

 primaries. Both wings have an obscure 

 discal spot at the end of the cell and both 

 are traversed beyond the cell by an incom- 

 plete transverse limbal dark line. Expanse, 

 30 m}n. Habitat Benita. 



64. A. detersa, sp. nov. $. Front and 

 collar dark brown. Upper side^ thorax and 

 abdomen fuscous, lower side slightly lighter. 

 The primaries and the secondaries on the 

 upper side are fawn with the outer margin 

 lighter, inclining somewhat to ochraceous. 

 The only markings on the upper surface of 

 the wings are, on the primaries, a very 

 narrow and indistinct regularly curved sub- 



basal line followed on the cell by a median 

 dot and an obscure renit'orm spot, and 

 beyond the latter there is a very narrow 

 and obscure irregularly curved transverse 

 limbal line running from the costa out- 

 wardly, passing around the etid of the cell, 

 making an inward loop and then running 

 to the inner margin near its middle. On 

 the under side, the wings are pale fawn with 

 the costa of the primaries before the apex 

 and the inner margin laved with light 

 ochraceous. The fringes of the primaries 

 on the under side are darker than the body 

 of the wing. Expanse, 2S mm. 



65. A. piistiilata, sp. nov. J. The 

 body is marked as in the preceding species. 

 The primaries on the upper side are fawn, 

 marked with heavy dark brown spots and 

 fine dark brown lines. On the costa beyond 

 the base is a small oval black spot, about 

 the middle of the costa three small subtri- 

 angular spots, on the costa before the apex 

 a large subquadrate spot There is a 

 circular black spot on the middle of the cell ; 

 at the end of the cell a large black reniform 

 spot; on the inner margin beyond the base a 

 large triangular spot, the apex resting upon 

 the middle of the cell, the base covering the 

 inner margin for aboutone-half of its length, 

 but not quite reaching the point of insertion 

 of the wing. This spot, as well as the reni- 

 form, is followed by a fine dark brown line. 

 The secondaries on the upper side are 

 uniformly pale fuscous. On the under side 

 both wings are pale rosy-fawn. The prima- 

 ries are somewhat darker in the region of 

 the cell and marked at the end of the cell by 

 an obscure transverse discal line. Expanse, 

 2S mm. 



66. A. catoxautkit, sp. nov. $. Head 

 and collar dark brown. Upper side of thorax 

 pale fawn; upper side of abdomen pale 

 fuscous; lower side of thorax and abdomen 

 very pale ochraceous. Legs concolorous, 

 margined on the tibiae with pale brown. 

 The primaries are luteous, shading on the
