The paratype differs from the type oc and 9 in having the 
first flagellar segment of the antennez tipped with black, the wings 
more unicolorous; and femora without the broad indistinct yellow 
band. I believe that the specimen is merely a variant of the 
typical species. (Length, almost 28 mm.; wing, 21 mm.) 
Eriocera peruviana sp. nov. 
General color dull brown; frontal tubercle orange. 
o&, Length, 11.8 mm.; wing, 11.2 mm.; antenne about 2 mm. 
Middle leg, fem., 8 mm.; tibia, 8.8 mm. 
Hind leg, fem., 8.9 mm.; tibia, 10.2 mm. 
Rostrum and palpi yellowish, the latter rather more brownish. Antenne very 
short, brown; basal segments lighter colored. Frontal tubercle and region imme- 
diately behind it rich orange-yellow; frontal tubercle deeply furrowed. Remainder 
of front, vertex and occiput rich brown. 
Pronotum dark brown. Mesonctum, prescutum, ground color light brownish- 
yellow; cephalic margin dark brown, continued backward as a stripe on either side 
of the narrow median line; a short brownish stripe on sides; scutum, scutellum 
and postnotum brownish-yellow. Pleurz yellowish-white, a broad darker band 
extending from the root of the wings to the cervical sclerites.  Halteres light 
brown. Legs: light brown, uniform. Wings: cells C and Se brownish-grey, 
remainder of wings clearer grey. Venation (see fig. 5): Se strong, Sc: remote from

a narrow deep black line and divided by a narrow median line of the same black 
color; the lateral black stripe is forked near the pseudo-suture, the caudal branch 
ending at the pseudosutural fovea; sides of the sclerite somewhat brighter brown;
