brown. The secondaries are marked above 

 very much as in N. delicata. On the under 

 side the markings are very much as in N. 

 striata. Expanse, 36 mm. 



104. N. muscosa, sp. nov. $ . Palpi and 

 front pale testaceous. Antennae testaceous. 

 Patagia and upper side of thorax greenish- 

 olivaceous. The upper side of the abdomen 

 fawn, dark on the dorsal line. The under 

 side of the thorax and abdomen very pale 

 fawn. Legs concolorous margined with 

 brown and with the tarsi annulated with 

 brown. The primaries are dark olive-green, 

 marked with brownish lines and pale green 

 spots. There is a dark brown basal spot 

 near the costa; beyond this a very irregular 

 double transverse brown line defined extern- 

 ally and internally by pea-green, and inter- 

 rupted below the cell by a blackish longi- 

 tudinal ray. At the end of the cell there is 

 an obscure annular mark composed of raised 

 brown scales pupilled with pea-green. Be- 

 vond is a geminate curved transverse limbal 

 line, defined externally and internally by pale 

 green shades. The outer member of this 

 geminate line near the inner margin expands 

 into a dark olive-brown spot, accentuated ex- 

 ternally by a silvery white mark and suc- 

 ceeded externally by some irregular olive- 

 brown marginal cloudings. There is a regu- 

 lar dark brown marginal line. The fringes 

 are pale fawn broadly checkered with dark 

 brown. The secondaries are uniformly pale 

 fawn. On the under side both the primaries 

 and the secondaries are pale fawn inclining 

 to luteous with the fringes checkered with 

 brown as on the upper side. Expanse, 34 

 mm. 



105. N- vtrtdis, sp. nov. $. Palpi pale 

 brown on the lower side. Antennae with the 

 culmen testaceous, the setae dark brown. 

 There is a white spot at the base of each of 

 the antennae. The front, collar, and upper 

 side of the thorax are dark olive. The upper 

 side of the abdomen is grayish. The under 

 side of the thorax and abdomen is whitish. 



Legs concolorous, margined externally with 

 dark brown. The primaries at the base near 

 the inner margin are whitish; beyond this 

 olive-green, shading gradually toward the 

 middle of the wing into glaucous. There is 

 a discal dot of raised scales at the end of the 

 cell ; beyond a very fine transverse median 

 line composed of similar raised scales run- 

 ning at right angles to the inner margin, 

 succeeded by a curved transverse olive band, 

 which unites on the inner margin with the 

 transverse brown line. Beyond this is a very 

 irregular submarginal olive-brown line. The 

 apex is pale fawn and upon the margin there 

 is a series of olive spots, marking the inter- 

 spaces. The fringes are uniformly olive. 

 The secondaries on the upper side are whitish 

 with the fringes obscurely brown. On the 

 under side both wings are whitish, the costal 

 area of the primaries being clouded with 

 blackish, and the fringes being pale brown. 

 Expanse, 32 mm. 



Oecura, Holl. 



106. O. (?) crucifera, sp. nov. $ . An- 

 tennae testaceous. Palpi, front, collar, and 

 tegulae dark brown. Upper side of thorax 

 and abdomen likewise dark brown. Under 

 side of the thorax and abdomen paler. Legs 

 brown. Tarsi ringed with white. On dorsal 

 line of abdomen, three or four high tufts of 

 dark brown hair. Primaries dark brown 

 with purplish reflections in certain lights. 

 There is a dark brown subbasal fascia, fol- 

 lowed by some yellowish scales, succeeded 

 by a curved and angulated geminate subme- 

 dian transverse line, followed by a subquad- 

 rate dark brown patch, extending from the 

 costa across the end of the cell. Beyond this 

 there is a narrow transverse limbal line ac- 

 centuated on the submedian interspaces by 

 light dots, followed by an exceedingly irreg- 

 ular and heavy submarginal line of dark 

 brown. Near the outer angle there is a 

 series of dots on the interspaces. There is a 

 dark marginal line. The fringes are lilacine, 

 broadly checkered with dark brown. The
