outer margin into pale brown marked b_v a 

 very dark subtriangular spot on the costa 

 before the apex and bj a band of dark brown 

 crossing the middle of the wing, more or less 

 obsolete in the region of the costa, very 

 distinct toward the inner margin. The 

 paler costal extremity of this band is 

 interrupted by a sharply defined black dot 

 near the end of the cell, and beyond it by a 

 lunate black spot surrounded by a fine pale 

 creamy line. Bevond this, running from 

 the costa toward the outer angle, which it 

 does not reach, is an incomplete transverse 

 discal line margined internally by a pale 

 creamy line. The secondaries on the upper 

 side are pale luteous, shaded with fuscous on 

 the inner margin. On the under side, both 

 wings are pale luteous with the cell in the 

 primaries and the region about the origin of 

 the median nervules clouded by reason of 

 the reappearence on the under side of the 

 heavy black markings of the upper side. 

 Expanse, 30 mm. Habitat Benita. 



67. A. iimbrosa, sp. nov. J. Head and 

 collai' dark brown. Upper side of thorax 

 and abdomen fuscous; lower side fuscous, 

 very little paler than the upper side. Legs 

 concolorous. The primaries on the upper 

 side are rosv-brown with a pale ochraceous 

 reniform spot at the end of tlie cell and a 

 larger ochraceous spot on the inner margin 

 before the outer angle. On the costa before 

 the apex is a dark brown subtriangular spot. 

 A very obscure and narrow sub-basal brown 

 line runs diagonally from the costa to the 

 inner margin, slanting inwardlv. A similar 

 line runs from the reniform to the inner 

 margin slightly curved below the reniform 

 and slanting outwardly. Beyond the reni- 

 form another fine line runs from the costa 

 toward the outer angle, which it does not 

 quite reach. The margin is marked by a fine 

 dark line. The fringes are slightly darker 

 than the rest of the wing. The secondaries 

 on the upper side are uniformly dark 

 fuscous with the fringes a trifle paler. On the 



under side, the primaries are fuscous with 

 the costa and the inner margin paler. The 

 secondaries on the under side are pale 

 fuscous, profusely irrorated with minute 

 brownish scales. The fringes of both prima- 

 ries and secondaries on the under side are 

 darker than the body of the wing. Expanse, 

 34 mm- 



6S. A. tmnsverscitii , sp. nov. $. Head, 

 collar, thorax, and abdomen brown; under 

 side paler. Primaries on tlie upper side 

 brown with the basal area and the costa 

 lighter. The costa is marked by three equi- 

 distant triangular brown spots and by a mod- 

 erately large subquadrate brown spot just 

 before the apex. There is a circular black 

 spot in the middle of the cell and a large 

 reniform spot at its end surrounded by a 

 blackish line. A moderately broad dark line 

 runs from the inner margin beyond the base 

 toward the cell, which it reaches a little be- 

 hind the circular round spot in its middle. 

 A brownish cloud runs from the interior 

 angle of the large subquadrate spot near the 

 apex across the wing in the region of the reni- 

 form and is continued beyond the reniform 

 to the inner margin in the form of geminate 

 obscurely defined curved lines. The third of 

 the costal spots, reckoning from the base, is 

 defined externally by a very narrow white 

 line and is produced to the inner margin as a 

 fine irregularly curved and sinuate transverse 

 limbal line. The secondaries are uniformly 

 dark fuscous. On the under side, both wings 

 are fuscous. The primaries have the inner 

 margin pale testaceous, the costa paler than 

 the body of the wing and profusely irrorated 

 with minute brown scales. There is also 

 beyond th^cell, an incomplete transverse 

 dark limbal band extending from the costa as 

 far as the origin of the median nervules. 

 The secondaries are a trifle paler than the 

 primaries, inclined to brownish, and pro- 

 fuselv irrorated over their entire surface with 

 minute darker scales. The secondaries have 

 an obscure discal spot and an obscure and
