PSYCHE. 



[March 1893. 



ternally with dark brown. The primaries 

 are pale cream-buff with the basal third and 

 the outer margin heavily sprinkled with 

 blackish scales. The immaculate median 

 area is defined inwardly by an irregularly 

 angulated and curved narrow black line and 

 outwardly by a still narrower line. At the 

 apex, opposite the end of the cell, and on the 

 median interspaces, the outer margin is 

 marked by a double series of black spots. 

 The secondaries are white with the outer 

 margin near the anal angle shaded with pale 

 gray. The under side of the wings is uni- 

 formly creamy-white. Expanse, 30 mm. 



72. H. arctioides. sp. nov. £. Antennae 

 testaceous. Culmen lighter. Palpi pale 

 reddish-brown. Front, collar, and thorax 

 pale ochraceous with a dark brown median 

 line upon the thorax. The upper side of the 

 abdomen is creamy-white shading into 

 grayish at the extremity. The under side of 

 the body lighter in color. The legs are con- 

 colorous with the tarsi ringed with pale light 

 brown. The primaries are very pale ochra- 

 ceous and on the cell near the base shading 

 into whitish. They are profusely marked 

 with an exceedingly intricate series of red- 

 dish-brown lines, of which those beyond the 

 base and on the middle of the wing are the 

 heaviest, the latter forming an ill-defined 

 transverse median band. There is a dark 

 brown shade on the outer margin below the 

 apex and at the outer angle. The secondaries 

 are uniformly creamy-white. The under 6ide 

 of the wings is creamy-white with a few 

 obscure brownish markings near the apex 

 of the primaries and along the costal margin 

 of the secondaries. The fringe of the prim- 

 aries on the under side is pale brown. 

 Expanse, 30 mm. 



73. H. rhodapicata, sp. nov. $ . Antennae 

 testaceous. Front whitish. Upper side of 

 thorax dark ecru-drab. Abdomen yellow- 

 ish with a dorsal line of blackish spots most 



conspicuous at the extremity. The under 

 side of the body is yellowish, the legs are of 

 the same color, with the joints and the tarsi 

 marked with black. The primaries are drab, 

 with obscure basal, median, and submarginal 

 transverse cloudings of darker drab. The 

 secondaries are white. The under side of the 

 wings is creamy-white, tinged on the costa 

 of the primaries with yellowish, and with the 

 apex and outer margin of the primaries very 

 broadly, and of the secondaries very narrowly 

 flushed with rosy pink. Expanse, 40 mm. 



This species has the wings relatively broader 

 than in the other species of the genus. 



74. fi. hypoxantka, sp. nov. J . Antennae 

 blackish. Front dark brown. Palpi black, 

 reddish beneath. Thorax dark brown above. 

 Abdomen ochre-yellow with a dorsal line of 

 small brown spots. The under side of the 

 thorax is yellow. The first two pairs of legs 

 are black margined with yellowish. The last 

 pair yellowish. The primaries are preva- 

 lently brownish-drab. On the inner margin 

 near the base are some black markings. Be- 

 fore the base, there is a curved transverse 

 brown line succeeded by a black dot in the 

 middle of the cell. The end of the cell and 

 the costa above are paler than the body ol the 

 wing, and at the extreme end of the cell, 

 there is a large curved discal mark composed 

 of two black lines enclosing a lighter space 

 between them. Beyond the cell, there is an 

 angulated pale brown line defined inwardly 

 and outwardly by double dark lines and 

 succeeded by a subapical shade upon the 

 costa and by a curved shade of light color 

 near the inner angle. There is a narrow, 

 very irregular and broken submarginal series 

 of black lines and spots. The secondaries are 

 uniformly dark ochre-yellow. The under 

 side of both wings is dark ochre-yellow, with 

 the outer third of the primaries testaceous. 

 The black dot and the black discocellular 

 mark of the upper surface reappear upon the 

 primaries and are more sharply defined. 

 Expanse, 43 mm.
