53. M. Craigii, sp. nov. $. Antennae, 

 front, and upper side of thorax pale luteous. 

 The upper and lower sides of abdomen luteous 

 inclining to ferruginous. There is a black 

 spot on the top of the head, a black spot in 

 the centre of each of the patagiae, and a 

 black spot or two in the middle of the upper 

 part of the thorax. (The pinned specimens 

 before me do not enable me to give the exact 

 number of spots upon the thorax). The 

 under side of the abdomen is marked with a 

 double row of brown spots, and the legs, 

 which are of the same color as the underside 

 of the abdomen, are heavily margined with 

 black. The tarsi are black banded with 

 yellow. The prevalent color of the wings is 

 pale luteous. The primaries have a dark 

 brown ray upon the costa at the base and 

 an interior basal ray of the same color. 

 Beyond these are three small brown spots 

 succeeded by a very irregular transverse 

 median band which is divided into two parts 

 on the costa. There is a black dot at the end 

 of the cell, and a transverse limbal band 

 exceedingly irregular and sharply angulated 

 ten or twelve times. Beyond this, there is 

 a submarginal series of black spots, of 

 which the first, the third, the fifth, and 

 the sixth, reckoning from the costa, are 

 the largest. The fringe is dark brown on 

 the primaries. The secondaries have a num- 

 ber of dark marks near the outer angle. The 

 markings of the upper side reappear upon the 

 lower side, but are fainter than on the upper 

 side on the primaries, and darker than on the 

 upper side on the secondaries. The female 

 is like the male, but larger, and the markings 

 more distinct. 



Expanse, $ , 14 mm.; 5, iS mm. Habitat, 

 Benita. (January 31st, '91.) 



Lepista, Wallengr. 



54. L. xcuithopa, sp. nov. $ . Antennae, 

 front, lower side of thorax, and legs testa- 

 ceous. The collar, and upper side of the 



thorax, and upper and lower sides of the ab- 

 domen are orange-luteous. The primaries on 

 the upper side are orange-luteous with the 

 outer border pale plumbeous. The second- 

 aries are very pale luteous with the outer 

 margin very narrowly edged with plumbeous 

 from the outer angle half way to the inner 

 angle. On the under side, the primaries are 

 plumbeous with the costal and inner margins 

 luteous. The secondaries on the under side 

 are as on the upper side. 



Expanse, 25 mm. This species is most 

 closely allied to L.limbata, Butl., with the 

 type of which I compared it, but from which 

 it is widely different. 



55. L. monochroma, sp. nov. g. Front 

 orange-luteous. Body and wings throughout 

 pale fawn without any markings. The under 

 side at the costa of the primaries slightly 

 tinged with orange. Expanse, 24 mm. 



56. L. subumbrata, sp. nov. $. Antennae 

 and front whitish. Eyes black. The upper 

 side of the thorax and abdomen fawn color. 

 The lower side of thorax and legs the same. 

 Under side of abdomen whitish. The upper 

 side of the primaries pale plumbeous with 

 the costal margin narrowly edged with white. 

 The secondaries pale luteous broadly mar- 

 gined on the costa and at the outer angle 

 with plumbeous. The fringes of both wings 

 plumbeous. The lower side is marked 

 exactly as the upper. Female like the male 

 but larger. Expanse, $ 25 mm.; $ 30 mm. 



Sozuza, Wallengr. 



57. 6\ decipiens, sp. nov. <J. Antennae, 

 head, and thorax rufous-ochraceous. The 

 abdomen and lower side of thorax paler. The 

 primaries rufous-ochraceous with a dark 

 brown spot on the middle of the costa, and 

 another smaller spot below the cell near the 

 middle of the wing. Secondaries paler than 

 the primaries. Under side of wings immac- 

 ulate with the costa of the primaries slightly
