PSYCHE. 



[April 1893. 



96. D. rnptilinea, sp. nov. $. Anten- 

 nae, front, palpi, the upper side of thorax 

 and abdomen brown. The under side of the 

 thorax and the abdomen pale brown. The 

 legs are concolorous, with the tibiae and 

 tarsi annulated with dark brown. The 

 primaries are dark brown with a pale reddish 

 spot near the middle of the cell and a curved 

 limbal band of the same color extending 

 from the costa before the apex to about the 

 first median. There is a narrow black sub- 

 marginal line sharply produced toward the 

 margin opposite the end of the cell and at 

 the extremity of the third median. A very 

 dark brown line runs from the base of the 

 wing parallel to the inner margin to near the 

 extremity of the submedian. It is interrupted 

 about the middle of the wing and accentuated 

 near its outer extremity by a small white 

 dot. There are also some dark markings 

 upon the costa and a black spot of raised 

 scales at the end of the cell. The fringes 

 are pale brown checkered with darker brown. 

 The secondaries are uuiformly grayish-brown 

 with the fringes faintly checkered as the 

 primaries. Both wings on the under side 

 are pale brown with a large diffuse dark spot 

 at the end of the cell, and with a broken sub- 

 marginal series of spots upon the secondaries. 

 $. The female has the markings much 

 more distinct and larger than the male, and 

 on the secondaries upon the under side there 

 is a transverse median band of dark spots in 

 addition to the submarginal band. Expanse, 

 $ , 3S mm ; $ , 55 mm. 



97. D albosignata, sp. nov. 9- Allied 

 to D. Saussurei, Dewitz. The body and its 

 appendages are cinereous. The primaries are 

 cinereous with a dark spot at the base followed 

 below the cell by a dark brown marking, 

 which is defined externally by a curved line, 

 running to the inner margin. At the end of 

 the cell, there is a pale gray spot succeeded 

 by a series of dark brown lunulate. markings 

 running from the costa before the apex to the 

 inner margin. Beyond these markings be- 



tween the first median and the submedian 

 there is a subtriangular spot above which 

 there is a broad brownish limbal shade. There 

 are some irregular submarginal hastate lines 

 and marks, and the margin, which is dark 

 brown, is interrupted with pale cinereous at 

 the ends of the nervules. The secondaries 

 are uniformly cinereous with the fringes 

 marked as the primaries. On the under side 

 the wings are cinereous with an obscure dark 

 shade on the primaries beyond the end of the 

 cell, and an incomplete limbal line running 

 from the costa parallel to the outer margin as 

 far as the first median. The secondaries have 

 a dark spot at the end of the cell and an incom- 

 plete submarginal band near the outer angle. 

 Expanse, 63 mm. 



9S. D. (/) apateloides, sp. nov. $ . The 

 front and the upper side of the thorax and 

 abdomen pale gray. The under side of the 

 abdomen and appendages white. The prim- 

 aries are grayish-white with a narrow line 

 of black raised scales at the end of the cell 

 followed by a transverse line of similar raised 

 whitish scales, defined outwardly by dark 

 brown and running from the costa before the 

 apex to the inner margin. This transverse 

 band is succeeded by a submarginal irregular 

 series of lunulate dark lines defined inwardly 

 by whitish markings. The outer margin has 

 a line of dark points on the intraneural spaces 

 defined inwardly by whitish subhastate mark- 

 ings. The fringe is whitish. The seconda- 

 ries are cinereous with the fringe whitish. On 

 the under side the primaries are pale brown- 

 ish-cinereous with the costa and the fringe 

 narrowly white and the inner margin broadly 

 whitish. The secondaries on the under side 

 are uniformly white. Expanse, 44 mm.

Allied to Ilema, Moore and Oecura, Holl. 

 £. Palpi short, compressed, the first joint 

 small; the second joint relatively very large.
