3 . A crosemia flavaria. 



^ Ennada fiavaria, Blanchard, in Gay's ' Fauna 

 Chilena,' vii., p. 87, n. 1 ; pi. 7, fig. 3 (1852-4).

M. Blanchard figures an unusually pale male, most 

 examples being decidedly less yellow ; the female, how- 

 ever, is bright orange, flecked with ash-grey, with the 

 central belt of the primaries and basal two-fifths of the

 certainly worthy of a distinct appellation.

(? Acrotomia. quietaria, Felder and Rogenhofer, Eeise 

 der Fregatte Novara, v., pi. cxxiii., fig. 19 (1875).

The female, as might have been anticipated, is brighter • 

 and more deeply coloured than that sex of A. flavaria, 

 but in other respects corresponds with its male. 



(? var. With ground colour of the wings pale greyish 

 stone, with the post-median oblique stripe sharply defined 

 as in A. flavaria, greyish brown internally and cream- 

 colour externally ; the inner line ill-defined, scarcely

.1. quietaria seems to be about as common as A. 

 flavaria.

5. Apicia valdiviana, n, s. 



Pale pearl-grey, shading into cream-colour, almost 

 white ; the wings crossed from near their apices to just
