74 Mr. A. G. Butler on the 



138. Hypeiiaria pyrocliila, n. sp. 



Red-brown washed with lilacine, particularly towards 

 the costa and base of primaries; wings crossed before the 

 middle by an irregularly dentate-sinuate brown line, and 

 beyond the middle by an oblique white-edged brown line, 

 interrupted by scarlet dots upon the veins, retracted (and 

 oblique dentate-sinuate above the elbow) towards costa of 

 primaries ; a pale zigzag submarginal line, dotted inter- 

 nally with white ; a marginal pink-bordered crinlded 

 black line ; extreme margin and base of fringe scarlet ; 

 fi'inge externally dark brown; primaries with an irregu- 

 larly-undulated brown line towards the base, and between 

 it and the second line the black-edged pale greenish- 

 white orbicular spot; reniform confluent with a trifid 

 patch separated by the median veins, limited by an undu- 

 lated blackish line; the lower portion of the reniform 

 part pale greenish, the portion divided by the median 

 veins sandy-yellow ; secondaries with a subgeminate ovoid 

 cream-coloured spot at the end of the cell; head and 

 thorax greyish ; Avings below ochraceous, washed (except- 

 ing at base) with reddish, crossed from just before 

 the middle by three curved grey lines, the centre one 

 darkest; discoidal spots small and blackish; body ochra- 

 ceous, external surfaces of palpi and legs more or less 

 scarlet: expanse of wings 1 inch 9 lines. 



Rio Jurua, 7th November, 1874. 



Seems allied to U. leucospila, cldorospila and angusta. 



I have three times gone through the whole of Cramer's 

 plates and indices, but have failed to find any species 

 described or figin-ed by him under the name of H. hino- 

 cula. M. Guenee, however, declares that he describes the 

 species from the figure ; therefore, if we adopt Walker's 

 view and call Guenee the author, we have no alternative 

 but to suppose that he described a mirage. 



139. Ilypenaria triocellata, n. sp. 



Allied to the preceding, but the markings less defined, 

 excepting the trifid continuation to the reniform spot, 

 which is replaced by three unequal increasing black 

 blind ocelli with whitish irides : expanse of wings 1 inch 

 11 lines.
