genera Acrohphvs and Anaphora. 161 



at Bogota by Baron von Nolcken, and labelled in Zeller's 

 handwriting, " Anaphora sp. bei scardina." This species 

 is in appearance almost undistinguishable from the 

 variety of scardina described as popeanella by Clemens, 

 but the concave ends of the abdominal claspers enable 

 it to be instantly recognised. 



Anaphora ferruginea, n. s. (PL VIII., fig. 15). 

 Palpi reaching as far a^s the posterior edge of the thorax 

 Antenna 1 slightly paler than the palpi, naked, stout, and shortly 

 pectinate anteriorly. Head, thorax, and palpi ferruginous. Fore 

 wings ferruginous, slightly blotched above the fold and on the cell 

 with fuscous, also sprinkled towards the costal and apical margins 

 with small groups of fuscous scales ; fringes purplish fuscous, 

 slenderly tipped with whitish, especially at the anal angle. Hind 

 wings brownish. Abdomen the same; lateral claspers dilated in 

 the middle, narrowed towards the apex, which is evenly rounded ; 

 about their middle on the under side is a tooth-like projection 

 turning inwards and resembling the structure of these organs in 

 the Indian genus Alavona, Wlk. ; the uncus is double, flattened 

 above, and abruptly angulated, the angle projecting somewhat over 

 and beyond the points ; these are triangular when viewed laterally, 

 and are sharply pointed and divergent. Exp. ah dl\ mm. 



A single male in Zeller's collection, labelled as collected 

 by Baron von Nolcken at Bogota. It is very distinct 

 both in colour and structure from other known species 

 of this genus.
