with pale brown at the end of the nervules. 

 The secondaries are uniformly fuscous. On 

 the under side, the wings are obscure fuscous 

 with very obscure discal dots at the end of the 

 cells followed by obscure and incomplete 

 transverse median and submarginal lines 

 somewhat darker than the ground color. 

 Expanse, 40 mm. 



Ilema, Moore. 



115. I. gonoptiora,sp. nov. $■ Antennae, 

 body, and legs wood-brown. Upper side: 

 Primaries brown, darker on the cell and 

 costa, traversed by a broad transverse limbal 

 line of dark brown, which runs from before 

 the apex, at which point it is widest, to near 

 the middle of the inner margin, whence it is 

 continued inwardly parallel to the inner 

 margin as far as the base. It is defined 

 inwardly by a narrow interrupted series of 

 raised velvety scales, which are very dark 

 brown in color. There is a dark ray of 

 brown raised scales at the base. On the outer 

 margin near the outer angle are some dark 

 brown cloudings accentuated with darker 

 minute patches of raised blackish scales, and 

 a small subtriangular spot lying near the 

 transverse limbal line. There is a marginal 

 series of minute linear patches of raised 

 scales. The fringes are pale brown checked 

 with darker brown. The secondaries are 

 fuscous, darkest on the outer margins. The 

 fringes are pale wood-brown. 



Under side: Both wings are pale wood- 

 brown. Both are crossed by incomplete 

 transverse limbal lines. The primaries are 

 heavily clouded with fuliginous on the cell 

 and costa near the base. The secondaries 

 have a distinct discal spot at the end of the 

 cell and a few obscure submarginal spots. 

 Expanse, 33 mm. 



116. /. albibasalis, sp. nov. $ . Antennae 

 and upper side of body dark brown ; lower 

 side of body and legs paler. Upper side : 

 Primaries reddish-brown with a submarginal 



band of darker cloudings and a darkish ray 

 of brown extending from before the base 

 below the cell outwardly to the end of the 

 cell, where it is interrupted by an obscure 

 annular mark of pale brown, aud is then con" 

 tinued beyond the cell toward the costa' 

 which it reaches about two-thirds of the 

 distance from the base. At the base, there is 

 an oval patch of chalky markings and a series 

 of similar chalky-white markings at the apex. 

 The fringes are pale brown checked with 

 darker brown. The secondaries are uni- 

 formly pale fuscous. 



Under side : Primaries pale shining testa- 

 ceous with the cell and the region of the 

 median nervules uniformly clouded with pale 

 fuliginous. There is an incomplete trans- 

 verse limbal line running from before the 

 apex to about the middle of the wing. The 

 fringes are very dark brown checked by pale 

 testaceous. The secondaries have the ground 

 color as the primaries and a faint annulus at 

 the end of the cell, beyond which are mod- 

 erately broad parallel irregularly curved 

 transverse median and transverse outer lines 

 of pale fuliginous. $. The female is marked 

 much like the male, but the markings are 

 not quite so distinct. Expanse, $ , 23 mm.; 

 5 , 30 m m . 



117. /. albospargata, sp. nov. $. Body 

 above pale reddish-brown : under side of body 

 and legs lighter. Upper side: Primaries 

 dark brown with a blackish annulus at the 

 end of the cell. A broad chalky-white band 

 runs from the lower median nervule diagon- 

 ally to the apex and is cut into at the end of 

 the cell by the blackish annulus, and also by 

 a dark brown spot lying on the costa before 

 the apex. There are some obscure pale sub- 

 marginal lines. The secondaries are uni- 

 formly pale testaceous. Under side : The 

 wings are marked very much as in the pre- 

 ceding species, save that the white band of 

 the primaries reappears on the under side 

 beyond the end of the cell, where it is crossed 

 by a transverse limbal line. Expanse, 25 mm.
