PSYCHE. 



399 



transverse exceedingly fine median lines. 

 The under sides of both wings are vinaceous. 

 The anteriors whitish on the costa near the 

 apex and broadly whitish on the inner mar- 

 gin. There is a small dark brown spot on 

 the costa of the primaries a little beyond the 

 middle. Expanse, 20 mm. 



LITHOSIIDAE. 

 Cabarda, Walk. 



44. C. torrida, sp. nov. $. Antennae, 

 front, collar, and thorax white. Legs pale 

 yellow. Abdomen gray. Upper side of an- 

 terior wings milk-white with two small oval 

 pale fawn spots arranged longitudinally in 

 the cell beyond the middle, a small spot of 

 the same color at the base, a moderately large 

 brown blotch below the cell near the middle 

 tapering inwardly toward the base, and a 

 limbal band broadest near the posterior mar- 

 gin. The apex broadly fawn color with a 

 series of small spots of the same color on the 

 outer margin between the nervules, gradually 

 diminishing in size toward the outer angle. 

 The posterior wings are very pale semi-trans- 

 lucent fawn color. The under side of both 

 wings is of the same color as the upper side 

 of the secondaries. The costa and the outer 

 and inner margins of the primaries are paler. 



Expanse, 20 mm. Habitat, Benita. (Feb- 

 ruary.) 



45. C. temperata, sp. nov. $ . Allied to 

 C. frigida, Walk. The under and upper 

 sides of the body are white. The primaries 

 are dull white with the outer half heavily 

 covered with rusty 'scales shading into black- 

 ish near the outer margin. On the costa 

 before the apex, and on the outer margin 

 just below the apex, this ferruginous tract is 

 indented by two subtriangular pure white 

 spots. The posterior wings are grayish, 

 darkest near the outer margin, and the fringes 

 of both primaries and secondaries are whitish. 

 On the under side, both wings are whitish, 

 the primaries being clouded to pale ferru- 



ginous on the costal area, and both wings 

 have a faint submarginal line running par- 

 allel to the outer margin. 

 Expanse, 19 mm. 



Bizone, Walk. 



46. B. Afrt'cana, sp. nov. $. Pure white. 

 The legs pale yellowish. Posterior wings 

 with one or two black dots on the costa near 

 the base. The primaries are crossed by a 

 median and a limbal transverse line of dark 

 brown, or blackish, somewhat angulated. 

 There are two small black spots on the cell 

 between these lines arranged longitudinally, 

 and one or two black spots on the outer mar- 

 gin below the apex. The female is marked 

 as the male, but larger. Underside of wings 

 immaculate. 



Expanse, $ . 18 mm. ; $, 20 to 22 mm. 



47. B. Porrima, sp. nov. g . Allied to 

 the preceding species, but smaller, and with 

 the fore wings luteous. The markings very 

 much the same as in the preceding species, 

 but the spots on the cell between the trans- 

 verse lines coalesce with the lines. Under 

 side of wings white, immaculate. Female 

 like the male. 



Expanse of six specimens before me aver- 

 ages 1 8 mm. 



48. B. rubrt'strtga, sp. nov. £. Snowj- 

 white with two bright crimson transverse 

 bands, with two small black spots enclosed 

 between them on tjiecel! and arranged longi- 

 tudinally. There are no black spots at the 

 base of the primaries. The crimson bands 

 reappear faintly on the under side. 



Expanse, 16 mm. This species is charac- 

 terized by having the primaries relatively 

 narrower than in the preceding species. 



Barsine, Walk. 



49. B. Gubunica, sp. nov. <J . Allied to 

 B. (Siccia) rivulosa, Walk., with the type of
