[Read October 1st, 1879.] 



Recently a small portion of the collection of Phi/tophaga, 

 brought over by Mr. Thamm from Chanchamayo, Peru, fell 

 into my hands. On examination, I found many interesting 

 species, apparently new to science. The majority of these, 

 with the addition of some others from the same part of 

 the world, previously in my collection, are described in 

 the present paper. — Sejitemher, 1879.
