yond this near the apex on the costa are 

 some obscure darker markings, and near the 

 outer angle is a small oval patch of raised 

 dark brown scales. The secondaries are uni- 

 formly pale fuscous, slightly darker on the 

 outer margins. Under side: The wings are 

 pale grayish white with an obscure lunate 

 discal mark at the end of the cell of the prim- 

 aries, and a similar, but more conspicuous 

 mark, at the end of the cell of the secon- 

 daries. These marks in both wings are fol- 

 lowed by incomplete and obscure transverse 

 limbal and transverse marginal lines. The 

 fringes of the primaries on the under side 

 are checked with dark brown, or blackish, 

 as on the upper side. The fringes of the 

 secondaries above and below are very faintly 

 checked in the same way. 



$ . What I take to be the female of this 

 species resembles the male just described in 

 all respects, save that it is larger and the 

 general coloration is more uniforjmly olive- 

 brown with the markings dark brown and 

 somewhat more diffuse. The antennae, of 

 course, are less strongly pectinated in this 

 sex. Expanse $ , 30 mm. ; $ , 35 mm. 



143. 5". c/iloe, sp. nov. $ . Front pale 

 brown ; collar, tegulae and upper side of 

 thorax dark green; upper side of abdomen 

 and lower side of thorax and abdomen to- 

 gether with the legs pale ruddy, with the 

 outer edges of the tibiae covered with 

 pale green scales. Upper side : The prim- 

 aries are bright pea-green, shading into 

 greenish-white on the outer margin and trav- 

 ersed by obscure transverse basal, geminate 

 transverse median, and geminate transverse 

 limbal lines. There is an obscure dark 

 green dot at the end of the cell, and some 

 blackish markings on the costa and the 

 outer margin near the apex. The fringes 

 are uniformly pale whitish. The secon- 

 daries are pale ruddy-brown with the basal 

 half darker brown, and on the costa tinged 



with pale green, striped near the outer angle 

 by three or four lines of dark green. On 

 the under side, both wings are very pale and 

 creamy tinged with ruddy, the inner two- 

 thirds of the costa and the cell being clouded, 

 with dark purplish-brown. Expanse, ^ mm. 



144. S. falsa, sp. nov. g. Front, 

 thorax, and abdomen brown ; legs concol- 

 orous. Primaries dark brown with a multi- 

 tude of irregular and vaguely defined 

 transverse lines and markings of obscure 

 gray, defined inwardly and outwardly by 

 very narrow lines of dark brown raised 

 scales. The fringes are pale regularly 

 checked with dark brown on the interspaces. 

 The secondaries are uniformly ruddy-brown 

 with the costa near the outer angle barred 

 with darker brown. On the under side, the 

 wings are dark brown with the marginal 

 area of both wings uniformly margined with 

 paler brown. On the secondaries there is 

 an obscure discal mark at the end of the cell, 

 followed by a slightly paler transverse 

 median fascia. Expanse, 35 mm. 



145. 6\ prop inqua, s p. nov. J. Allied to 

 5. bitioides, from which it differs in having 

 the fore wings relatively shorter, broader, 

 and more rounded at the apex. The ground 

 color of the primaries is greenish with gemi- 

 nate basal, sub-basal, and transverse limbal 

 lines of brown with a pale green spot on the 

 costa about the middle extending over the 

 end of the cell. There is a uniform subtnar- 

 ginal series of dark brown lunulate markings 

 and some dark brown spots between this and 

 the transverse limbal markings near the outer 

 angle. The secondaries on the upper side 

 are pale brown with the costa stramineous, 

 banded near the outer angle with three incom- 

 plete bands of dark brown. The abdomen 

 and the wings on the lower side are pale 

 stramineous, the costa and outer area of the 

 primaries being broadly laved with fuscous. 

 Expanse, 33 mm.
