[March 1S93. 



79. A. palla, sp. nov. $ . Front white. 

 Thorax pale ochraceous. Abdomen grayish. 

 Under side of body and legs whitish. Prim- 

 aries above yellowish-white traversed by a 

 median curved band of blackish scales, the 

 band being whitish near the end of the cell. 

 The secondaries are uniformly creamy-white. 

 The under side of both wings is pure white 

 with a brownish ray at the base of the costa 

 of the primaries. Expanse, 22 mm. 



80. -4. melaleuca, sp. nov. <J. Head and 

 thorax yellowish. Antennae of the same 

 color. Abdomen whitish above. The lower 

 side of the body with the legs is whitish. 

 The primaries are yellowish-white with a 

 basal and broad median and a submedian 

 band of dark fuscous interrupted on all the 

 neurations by the ground-color. The 

 secondaries are uniformly whitish. The 

 under side of both wings is shining whitish 

 with the inner half of the primaries very 

 slightly shaded with darker gray. Expanse, 

 15 mm. 



81. A. xantkomelaena, sp. nov. $. Head, 

 thorax, and abdomen ochraceous, paler below. 

 Legs concolorous. The primaries are bright 

 orange, with a basal, median, and angulated 

 transverse limbal band of brown, none of 

 which reach the costa, and all interrupted 

 upon the neurations by lines of the lighter 

 ground-color. The apex and the outer 

 margin are uniformlv orange. The sec- 

 ondaries are uniformly pale buff. On the 

 under side, both wings are uniformlv pale 

 buff. Expanse, 20 mm. 



82. A. parallela, sp. nov. <J . The upper 

 side of the head, the abdomen, and the an- 

 tennae are yellowish. The palpi are brown. 

 The lower side of the body and the legs are 

 whitish. The primaries are uniformly pale 

 yellow with a median band of blackish scales 

 running from near the end of the cell to the 

 inner margin and bounded outwardly by 

 parallel lines. The secondaries are creamy- 



white. Both wings on the under side are 

 uniformly pale creamy-white, shining. Ex- 

 panse, 22 mm. 



83. A. discipuncta, sp. nov. $ . Head, 

 thorax, and abdomen white above and below. 

 Legs white. The primaries are white with a 

 few obscure yellowish marks beyond the cell 

 and on the costa. and near the inner margin. 

 There is a large round black dot at the end 

 of the cell, some blackish scales on the inner 

 margin near its middle, and a series of black 

 scales and dots on the outer margin near the 

 apex and at the inner angle. The secondaries 

 are uniformly white. The lower side of both 

 wings is uniformly white with the costae 

 near the base very faintly tinged with 

 luteous. Expanse, 24 mm. 



84. A. rotunda, sp. nov. £. Primaries 

 and secondaries relatively broader and more 

 rounded on the outer margin than in any 

 of the other species described in this paper. 

 Body and wings white above and below. 

 The primaries have three subapical black 

 marks on the upper side, of which the lower 

 one is the most distinct, and in some speci- 

 mens there are a few blackish scales on the 

 inner margin of the upper side of the prim- 

 aries. Expanse, 23 mm. 



85. A. apicipuncta, sp. nov. $ . Body 

 and appendages whitish. The primaries, 

 which are relatively longer than in other 

 species described in this paper, are white 

 traversed about the middle by a curved band 

 of pale ochraceous, which near the inner 

 margin is sprinkled with blackish scales. In 

 some specimens, the base of the primaries is 

 also slightly tinged with pale ochraceous. 

 At the apex of the primaries there are three 

 or four bold black markings, of which the 

 second and the fourth, reckoning from the 

 costa, are the smallest. The third is uni- 

 formly the largest. The secondaries are uni- 

 formlv white, as is also the under side of both
