genera Arrolophns and Anaphora. 159 



blotches formed of coarse dark brown scales, one in the fold at 

 one-third, a larger streak before the transverse nervure, which is 

 larger than the first. The hind margin of its fringes arc pretty 

 thickly sprinkled with dark brown scales, except at the tip and 

 anal angle. Hind wings rounded at the tips, greyish brown, paler 

 than the fore wings. The terminal half of the hind marginal 

 fringes, and the whole of the inner marginal fringes, light grey. 

 The whole under side coloured like the hind wings above. One 

 male taken at the lamp at Barranquilla, 81st December, by Baron 

 von Nolcken." 



To this I may add that the apical vein is not forked; the lateral 

 claspers are dilated downwards below the middle, thence tapering 

 upwards to an obtusely rounded point ; the uncus is double, bent 

 over the points, toiiching each other. 



Anaphora minima, n. s. 



Palpi overarching the thorax, reaching to its posterior margin. 

 Antenna greyish ochreous, strongly serrated and fringed with fine 

 hairs. Head, thorax, and palpi greyish ochreous; the palpi dark 

 fuscous beneath at the base. Fore wings greyish ochreous, reticu- 

 lated with dark fuscous ; a spot of ferruginous-brown scales at the 

 end of the cell. Hind wings and fringes cinereous. Abdomen 

 cinereous. The anal appendages in this specimen are too much 

 injured to admit of description, but in other respects the specimen 

 is extremely perfect. Exp. al. 13 mm.

 single male from Ceara, Brazil, collected in August, 

 1884. It is allied to pusilla, but differs not only in its 

 markings, but in its narrower fore wings and smaller 

 size : its palpi are amply clothed throughout.

Translation of original description (Mr. Kirhy) : — 



"This species, which stands next to A. pusilla in size, is 

 distinguished from all others by the sharply-pointed fore wings, 

 and the straight white longitudinal streak, which is produced to 

 the tip. Body pale clay-colour, or pale greyish clay-colour. The 

 pointed palpi are clothed with long thick hair to the tip, and are
