PSYCHE. 



395 



thorax, the palpi, and the forelegs darker 

 grey. Near A. catiescetis, Walk., but different 

 as is shown by comparison with the type of 

 Walker's species. 



$ . Like the male, but larger, and with 

 much heavier body. 



Expanse, $ 30 mm; $ 37 mm. 



Anace, Walk. 



26. A. parachoria, sp. nov. $ . Allied to 

 A. perpusilla, Walk., but quite different. 

 The prevalent color of the upper side of the 

 body and wings is obscure ferruginous. The 

 primaries are marked by four pale yellow 

 spots arranged in transverse series of two 

 spots, one discal and the other subapical, 

 the spots nearest the costa being in each 

 series the smallest. The basal and limbal 

 area of the secondaries is also pale yellow. 

 The abdominal segments near the thorax and 

 at the end of the abdomen are margined 

 laterally with pale yellow bands. The under- 

 side of the wings is much as the upperside. 



$ . This sex is characterized by being much 

 larger in size, and by having the yellow area 

 of the secondaries restricted to a small spot 

 at the end of the cell. Expanse, $ 22 mm; $ 

 30 mm. 



27. A. monotica, sp. nov. $ . Antennae 

 pale grey with the setae blackish, the upper 

 side of the body is cinereous, with a pale 

 annul us about the abdomen after the thorax. 

 The underside of the palpi and of the thorax 

 is whitish. The primaries are uniformly 

 ashen gre_y except a large subtriangular spot 

 which is pale yellow and extends from the 

 costa before the base not quite to the inner 

 margin. The secondaries are pale yellow, 

 with the outer third ashen grey as the prim- 

 aries. Upon the under side the basal third 

 of the primaries and the entire secondaries 

 are pale yellow, or whitish in some speci- 

 mens. Expanse, 23 mm. There is an 

 example of this species in the British 

 Museum unnamed. 



Metarctia, Walk. 



28. M. parcmphares, sp. nov. $. Allied 

 to M. inconspicua, Moll. (Entomologist, 

 Sept., 1892). It differs, however, in the 

 absence of the reddish color which prevails 

 in that species upon the head and collar, and 

 in the fact that the costa of both wings and 

 the apical third of the primaries on the 

 under side is dark brown. The head, thorax, 

 and primaries above are dark ashen gray, 

 the secondaries are uniformly white, the upper 

 side of the abdomen is reddish ochraceous. 

 The under side of the abdomen is dark 

 brown, the wings are white, except upon the 

 costae and upon the outer third of the prim- 

 aries which are dark, like the upper side of 

 the primaries. 



$ . The female differs from the male in 

 being larger and in having the secondaries 

 slaty grey above and below except upon the 

 inner margin of the under side. The prim- 

 aries also are uniformly grey below, except 

 just at the base, where they are whitish. 

 Expanse, $ 28 mm ; $ 35 mm. 



29. M- benitensis, sp. nov. Allied to the 

 preceding, from which it differs in having 

 the upper side of the abdomen dark smoky 

 brown as the primaries, and the secondaries 

 of the same color as the primaries, and the 

 under side throughout of the same tint as the 

 upper surface of the primaries, or merely a 

 shade lighter in some specimens. Expanse, 

 <J 30 mm; 5 3§ mm. Habitat, Benita. 



30. M. pareclecta, sp. nov. $ . Allied to 

 the common M. erubescent, Walk., but differs 

 from it in being prevalently bright red, 

 whereas Walker's species is ochreous, shading 

 into red upon the body and secondaries. In 

 the style and location of the markings it does 

 not differ from Walker's type to any great 

 extent, but very markedly in its color. The 

 posterior wings are uniformly pale vermil- 

 lion. The primaries are of the same color 

 with the nerves and the spots on the discal
