[July 1S93. 



Norraca. Moore. 



146. N- signifera, sp. nov. £. Front, 

 collar, and anterior edge of patagia dark 

 brown; posterior edge of patagia light rosy- 

 brown ; upper side of thorax and abdomen 

 rosy-fawn ; lower side of the abdomen and of 

 the legs similarly colored. Upper side : the 

 primaries are pale rosy-brown, darkest on the 

 costa and at the apex. On the middle and at 

 the end of the cell, are two obscure subquad- 

 rate spots of darker brown margined exter- 

 nally and internally by very fine parallel 

 lines. Below the spot in the middle of the 

 cell, there is a dark blackish subquadrate spot. 

 There is a regular series of fine submarginal 

 lines on the interspaces arranged in echelon 

 from the apex to the outer angle. The sec- 

 ondaries are whitish slightly tinged with pale 

 pinkish. Under side : both primaries and 

 secondaries are uniformly pinkish-white. 

 Expanse, 38 mm. 



147. N. brevipeunis. sp. nov. $ . Wings 

 relatively short and broad ; front dark brown ; 

 occiput yellowish ; patagia and upper side of 

 thorax dark brown ; upper side of abdomen 

 lighter brown ; under side of thorax and ab- 

 domen and legs pale brown. Upper side: 

 Primaries dark brown with the base and a 

 broad subtriangular patch above the outer 

 angle on the margin pale j-ellowish. The 

 pale area at the base is marked by two narrow 

 dark brown lines forming a figure eight, the 

 upper circle in which anastomoses with a 

 narrow dark line situated on the median ner- 

 vule. In the middle of the cell and near the 

 end are obscure darker quadrate spots sepa- 

 rated from each other by a pale spot. There 

 is a series of submarginal dark lines on the 

 interspaces parallel to the outer margin. The 

 fringes, which are narrow, are dark brown. 

 The secondaries, which are uniformly very 

 pale brown, have the fringes narrowly dark 

 brown. The wings on the under side are 

 uniformly pale rosy-brown, the fringes being 

 as on the upper side. Expanse, 28 mm. 

 Habitat. Benita. 



14S. N. lineata, sp. nov. $ . Front and 

 collar dark brown; patagia, upper side of 

 thorax and abdomen somewhat paler; under 

 side of thorax and abdomen and legs pale 

 reddish-brown. The upper side of the prim- 

 aries is pale brown, the same color as the 

 thorax, heavily clouded with blackish-brown 

 on the inner margin near the outer angle. 

 There are some obscure annular markings on 

 the cell, a distinct annulus below the cell 

 near the origin of the first median nervule, a 

 blackish V-shaped dash about the middle of 

 the inner margin with the vertex pointing 

 toward the cell, and two straight narrow 

 transverse black lines parallel to each other 

 running from before the apex to the inner 

 margin before the outer angle. The inner- 

 most of these lines is the heavier. There is 

 a subtriangular series of fine curved lines on 

 the interspaces. The fringes are dark brown. 

 The secondaries on the upper side are uni- 

 formly pale fuscous. On the under side the 

 primaries and the secondaries are uniformly 

 pale brown, and both are crossed by a some- 

 what broad diffuse transverse median line. 

 Expanse, 32 mm. 



149. N. arctipennis, sp. nov. $. Front, 

 collar and upper side of thorax dark maroon; 

 the upper side of the abdomen dark fuscous ; 

 the under side of the thorax and abdomen 

 together with the legs pale rosy-brown. The 

 upper side of the primaries is rich maroon 

 with two obscure annular markings, one on 

 the middle of the cell, and the other at the 

 end, and a submarginal series of darker spots 

 on the interspaces. The secondaries are 

 uniformly dark fuscous. Both wings on the 

 under side are pale reddish-brown and both 

 have very obscure suggestions of diffuse 

 transverse median lines. Expanse, 30 mm. 

 Habitat Benita.

150. T. grisea, sp. nov. $. Tips of 

 palpi whitish; the front, collar, and upper 

 side of thorax and abdomen gray; lower side
