PSrCHE.

incomplete transverse discal line running 

 from the costa inwardly. 



5. The female is like the male. The 

 antennae, however, are simple, as is charac- 

 teristic of the genus, while those of the male 

 are doubly pectinated. The markings of the 

 female are also more obscure than in the 

 male, and on the under side the transverse 

 bands are obsolete. Expanse. 30 mm. 



69. A. argUlacea, sp. nov. $ . Resem- 

 bling the foregoing species, but differing in 

 having the head and collar dark brown, a 

 usual char.acteristic of the entire group to 

 which there is an exception in A. tvnnsi^er- 

 snta. The upper and lower side of the abdo- 

 men together with the legs are pale fuscous. 

 The primaries are fawn on the upper side. 

 There is a conspicuous reniform spot at the 

 end of the cell margined with blackish. 

 The wing is crossed by a curved sub-basal 

 and \)\ a trans\-erse limbal line, the latter 

 strongly angulated near the second median 

 nervule, sweeping inwardly until it nearly 

 touches the reniform below, and then con- 

 tinued downwardly to the inner margin at its 

 middle. The transverse sub-basal and limbal 

 lines are thickened on the costa and appear 

 there as dark brown triangular spots. Be- 

 tween these dark spots about the middle of 

 the wing is an obscure brown dash. On the 

 costa before the ape.K is a very dark brown sub- 

 trinngular spot. The edge of the costa at the 

 ape.x is marked by a few light dots. The mar- 

 gin is defined by fine blackish transverse 

 dashes on the interspaces. The fringes are 

 fuscous. The secondaries are pale fuscous, 

 the margin defined as on the primaries, the 

 fringes being a trifle paler than the body of the 

 wing. On the under side, both wings are pale 

 reddish-fiiwn with the fringes darker, and have 

 the area ofthe cell clouded with fuliginous, 

 and the inner margin pale testaceous. Both 

 primaries and secondaries have an obscure 

 discal spot at the end of the cell. The prim- 

 aries, furthermore, have above this spot a 

 dark brown mark on the costa; the seconda- 



ries beyond the discal spot toward the inner 

 margin, have an obscure and incomplete 

 transverse median band. 



9 . The female is marked much as the 

 male, but is generally paler. Expanse, 30 

 mm. Habitat Kangw6. 



Hyposi'ila, Guen. 



70. H. cingulilitiea, sp. nov. $. Head, 

 collar, and upper side of the thorax rich 

 velvety black. Upper side of abdomen dark 

 fuscous; loW'Cr side of thorax and abdomen 

 pale fuscous. Legs concolorous. The prim- 

 aries have the ground color wood-brown. 

 On the middle of the cell is a minute 

 round black spot, surrounded by a narrow 

 pale creamy line. On the inner margin 

 beyond the base is a large subtriangular 

 dark brown spot with its apex resting upon 

 the cell, its base on the inner margin. 

 This spot is defined externally by a narrow 

 pale creamy line. On the side of the inser- 

 tion ofthe wing this subtriangular spot has 

 its margin concave. In the direction of the 

 outer margin of the wing, this spot has its 

 edge convex and slightly toothed just before 

 the inner margin of the wing. A fine 

 creamy line runs from the costa before the 

 apex inwardly, then sweeps upw-ardly toward 

 the costa, and turning down again, sweeps 

 outwardly, reaching the inner margin two- 

 thirds of the distance from the base. The 

 wing beyond this fine line is heavily clouded 

 with dark blackish-brown, darkest in imme- 

 diate proximity to the line, and thence becom- 

 ing paler outwardly to the outer margin, 

 which is laved with ashen. The margin is 

 defined by minute narrow transverse dashes. 

 The fringes are ashen like the adjoining 

 portion of the wing. The secondaries are 

 uniformly dark fuscous. The fringes a trifle 

 paler. On the under side, both wings are 

 pale fuscous, slightly darker toward the 

 outer margin, and both have an obscure 

 discal spot at the end of the cell. Expanse, 

 30 mm.
