PSYCHE.

ceeded by a transverse zigzag brown line run- 

 ning from the costa to the middle of the 

 inner margin but interrupted below the 

 median nerve. Beyond the cell there is a 

 transverse limbal line, which runs irregularly 

 from before the apex to the inner margin 

 two-thirds of the distance from the base. 

 This is succeeded by a submarginal line very 

 irregular and produced to the outer margin 

 above the radial, between the second and 

 third median nervules, and near the outer an- 

 gle. The fringes are concolorous. The up- 

 per side of the secondaries is pale fuscous, 

 darker towards the base. The under side of 

 both primaries and secondaries is fuscous- 

 ochraceous. Expanse, 55 mm. 



94. L. hylomima, sp. nov. <J . Palpi 

 brown, margined below with reddish. Front 

 pale reddish-brown. Collar pale brown, mar- 

 gined inwardly with dark brown. Patagia 

 brownish, margined externally with dark 

 brown and fringed at the ends with long yel- 

 lowish hairs, which are black near the base. 

 The upper side of the abdomen is pale fulvous 

 with two tufts of brown hair on the dorsal line. 

 The lower side of the body is yellowish-ochra- 

 ceous. The legs are concolorous, ringed with 

 dark brown. The primaries on the upper 

 side are brown, clouded with darker brown 

 on the costa and at the end of the cell. There 

 is a double curved basal line succeeded by a 

 similar transverse line before the middle of 

 the wing, bounded externally and internally 

 by a paler shade. There is at the end of the 

 cell a large irregular oval annular mark deep 

 black denned outwardly by a narrow pale 

 line. The apical area is lighter in color than 

 the rest of the wing. The limbal area is 

 crossed by an irregularly curved and angu- 

 lated transverse line beyond which is a series 

 of hastate marks with the points turned in- 

 wardly. These hastate marks are alternately 

 pale creamy and deep black, and are succeeded 

 by a brown band, which is followed upon the 

 margin by a series of black hastate marks 

 with their points turned outwardly, each de- 



fined inwardly by a narrow creamy line. 

 The fringe is brown, checked upon the ner- 

 vules with black. The secondaries are uni- 

 formly dark fuscous. The fringes are as upon 

 the primaries. The lower side of the wings 

 is uniformly fuscous, tinged with ochraceous 

 at the base, with darker median and submar- 

 ginal cloudings. The dark mark at the end 

 of the cell of the primaries reappears upon 

 the lower side faintly. 



§. Female like the male except that the 

 antennae are simple and not heavily pecti- 

 nated, and this sex is nearly twice the size 

 of the male. Expanse, $, 53 mm.; $, 90 

 m m . 



This insect is congeneric with the insect 

 recently described as Liparis Preussi, Stgr., 

 byMabille in the ''Novitates Lepidopterolog- 

 icae." Mr. Butler has suggested to me the 

 erection of a new genus for its reception. 

 It appears, like L. Preussi. to he moderately 

 rare. 



Dasychira, Hiibn. 



95. D. sublutescens. sp. nov. J. Palpi, 

 front, pectus, and upper side of thorax and 

 abdomen fawn colored. The lower side of 

 the abdomen is ochraceous. The primaries 

 are pale fawn with an annular mark at the 

 end of the cell preceded and succeeded by ir- 

 regularly curved and angled transverse lines. 

 There are a series of dark zigzag marks 

 upon the costa, a basal geminate transverse 

 line, a submarginal series of hastate spots, 

 succeeded by a marginal series of similar 

 spots. The fringes are pale gray checked 

 with fawn. The secondaries are pale ochra- 

 ceous at the base clouded with fawn on the 

 outer margin. The fringes as upon the 

 primaries. On the under side, both wings 

 are pale ochraceous clouded with pale fuscous 

 on the outer margin. 



9 . The female is very like the male, but 

 larger, with the abdomen above as well as 

 below tinged with ochraceous.
