the male is truncate, in the female slightly 

 rounded. The secondaries are subovate with 

 the outer margin evenly rounded and the 

 inner angle subacute. 



68. H. stigmatica, sp. now <J . Antennae, 

 palpi, front, head, thorax, and abdomen 

 above pale ochre-yellow. There is a dark 

 brown shade running across the head and 

 thorax on the dorsal line. The under side of 

 the body is paler. The legs are concolorous, 

 with the anterior pair marked with brown 

 upon the tarsi. The primaries are ochre- 

 yellow with the outer and inner margins 

 narrowly dark brown. There is a large 

 poorly defined subquadrate brown spot at the 

 end of the cell. Before this toward the base 

 is a geminate curved transverse line, the 

 outer member of which fuses on its margin 

 with the brown spot. There is a similar 

 irregularly curved geminate transverse 

 limbal line and a submarginal line, the upper 

 portion of which is formed by three black 

 subapical dots, and which near the outer 

 angle is accentuated by two similar black 

 dots. There is also a brown dot near the 

 costa at the base, and another below the cell 

 near the origin of the first median nervule. 

 The secondaries are pale cream-buff with the 

 fringes pale brown. The under side of the 

 wings is pale cream-buff, with a large black 

 discal dot at the end of the cell. A narrow 

 transverse limbal line runs from the costa of 

 the primaries parallel to the outer border as 

 far as the second median nervule followed by 

 one or two subapical black dots. The sec- 

 ondaries have a similar line running from 

 the costa before the outer angle and suc- 

 ceeded by a black dot below this angle. 

 There are two similar dots near the anal 

 angle. The fringes of the primaries are dark 

 brown checked with paler brown at the ex- 

 tremities of the nervules. 



$ . The female is larger than the male and 

 with the markings more distinct. The prim- 

 aries have a heavy rufous shade near the 

 middle of the outer margin extending in- 

 wardly in some specimens as far as the cell. 

 Expanse, J, 30 mm. ; $ , 38 mm. 



69. H. clathrata, sp. nov. $. Antennae 

 with the culmen pale gray, pectinations tes- 

 taceous. Palpi brown. Front, head, thorax, 

 and abdomen above and below vinaceous. 

 The legs darker. The abdomen on the under 

 side paler. The primaries are vinaceous 

 with the costa darker. They are crossed at 

 the middle of the cell and upon the middle of 

 the limbal area by straight whitish lines run- 

 ning at right angles to the inner margin and 

 shaded broadly internally by brownish and 

 narrowly external]}' by the same color. The 

 outer margin is darker. The secondaries are 

 very pale vinaceous with the fringes slightly 

 darker. The under side of the wings is uni- 

 formly very pale pinkish-vinaceous irrorated 

 near the costa with a few brownish scales, 

 and with the fringes of the primaries brown. 

 Expanse, 33 mm. 



70. H. bas/brunnea, sp. nov. J. Antennae 

 testaceous with the culmen lighter. Palpi 

 and front whitish. Thorax fawn color. 

 Upper side of abdomen pale fawn. Lower 

 side of the thorax and abdomen paler. Legs 

 concolorous with tarsi ringed with black. 

 The primaries are reddish-ochraceous from 

 the base to beyond the cell with the costa 

 and limbal half and inner margin fawn. At 

 the end of the cell, there is a large brown 

 spot defined outwardly by two silvery white 

 spots. The wing is further marked by an 

 irregularly curved transverse limbal line ac- 

 centuated with black dots beyond the cell. 

 The fringes are fawn checked with dark 

 brown. The secondaries are uniformly pale 

 slaty-gray. The under side of both wings is 

 pale gray slightly tinged near the outer 

 margin with yellowish and with an incom- 

 plete narrow brown subapical line in both 

 wings and the costal areas sparingly sprin- 

 kled with brownish scales. Expanse, 37 mm. 



71. H. argiloidet, sp. nov. $ . Antennae 

 pale testaceous. The upper side of the 

 thorax is very pale cream-buff. The upper 

 side of the abdomen pale fawn. The lower 

 side of the body creamy-white with the legs 

 concolorous, the anterior pair margined in-
