138. >S. chloromorpha, sp. nov. $. An.* 

 tennae dark brown; front, collar, and upper 

 side of thorax olive-green; legs and pectus 

 brown; lower side of abdomen whitish- 

 Upper side : Primaries olive-green with a pale 

 whitish median fascia, beyond which are 

 three dark olive bands running parallel to it, 

 and below the apex a similarly curved olive 

 line running outwardly and succeeded by a 

 series of marginal olive dots. The basal area 

 is dark olive with a large patch of blackish 

 raised scales on the inner margin near the 

 base. The fringes are dark brown. The sec- 

 ondaries are uniformly fuscous, the fringes 

 paler. Under side : Both wings are pale 

 fuliginous with the costae and outer margins 

 narrowly pale gray. Expanse, 40 mm. 



139. S. bitioides, sp. nov. $. Allied 

 to 5. bitia, Stoll, but not so large, paler in 

 color, and differently marked. Antennae 

 testaceous; front whitish; collar, tegulae, 

 and upper side of thorax pale green ; upper 

 side of abdomen pale brown; pectus dark 

 brown ; lower side of thorax and abdomen 

 whitish ; legs tinged with brownish. Upper 

 side : Primaries pea-green with a profusion 

 of darker green and brown transverse lines 

 and spots. The most conspicuous markings 

 are a series of small brown spots running 

 along the costa, a transverse limbal series of 

 sagittate brown spots, of which the spot 

 upon the second and third median nervule 

 is the most conspicuous. There is a sub- 

 marginal series of curved brown lines at the 

 extremities of the interspaces. The secon- 

 daries are rosy-brown, except on the costal 

 margin near the outer angle, where they are 

 tinged with greenish and marked by 

 three or four incomplete transverse bars of 

 dark brown. Under side: The wings are 

 uniformly pale purplish-brown, the secon- 

 daries somewhat lighter than the primaries. 



5 . The female is marked very much as 

 the male, but the wings are broader and the 

 markings of the primaries heavier and not so 

 distinctly defined. Expanse, $, 37 mm. ; $, 

 39 mm. 



140. 5. chloeropsis, sp. nov. $ . Palpi 

 on the under side pale brown; front dark 

 brown; antennae testaceous ; collar, tegulae, 

 and upper side of thorax dark grass-green ; 

 upper side of abdomen dark brown; end of 

 the abdomen tipped with dark green hairs; 

 low r er side of abdomen pale fulvous; legs 

 concolorous. Upper side: Primaries uni- 

 formly dark grass-green with a multitude of 

 minute and vaguely defined spots and lines 

 of slightly paler color, defined, especially on 

 the margin, by very narrow lines of raised 

 brownish scales. The secondaries are uni- 

 formly purplish-brown except on the costa 

 and near the outer angle, where they are 

 tinged with pale green and marked by incom- 

 plete bars of darker brown. Under side: 



The wings are purplish-brown, paler toward 

 the base. Expanse, 36 mm. 



141. 5. chloana. sp. nov. $ . Thorax 

 and abdomen much as in the preceding 

 species, but the legs are heavily clothed with 

 green scales upon the outer side of the tibiae. 

 Upper side : Primaries dark grass-green with 

 obscure transverse basal, transverse median, 

 and transverse submarginal lines of pale 

 brown, defined outwardly and inwardly by 

 dark green. On the cell and near the base 

 are a number of small circular patches of 

 dark brown raised scales. The' secondaries 

 are bright yellow from the base to near the 

 outer margins, which together with the costa 

 are heavily bordered with dark brown. The 

 fringes are pale whitish. Under side : The 

 wings are yellowish with the cell and outer 

 area of the primaries beyond the cell heavily 

 clouded with dark brown. Expanse, 40 mm. 



142. .S. infima, sp. nov. $. Front 

 brownish-green ; upper side of thorax and 

 abdomen obscure olive; lower side paler; 

 legs margined outwardly by dark olive. 

 Upper side: Primaries obscure olive-green 

 with the fringes regularly checked with 

 blackish. At the end of the cell, there is an 

 obscurely defined annulus formed by dark 

 raised scales surrounding a paler space. Be-
