collected in Chili. ^'''7 



Although there is only one male of this insect in the 

 collection^ it appears to me to represent a perfectly 

 distinct species. 



54. Pharmacis latifasciata, n. s. 

 Above very pale brown, sericeous, irrorated with black; 

 primaries with a subcostal white streak m the female ; 

 the central half of these wings crossed from inner 

 margin to costal fourth by a broad black-brown belt, 

 iust within the margins of which are two narrow pale 

 stripes, white in the male, and ferruginous ni the female; 

 two more or less defined subapical black dots; imme- 

 diately beyond the belt is a series of white spots, 

 tapering towards the apex, black-centred in the male 

 but not in the female ; external area dark brown, clouded 

 with blackish ; a marginal series of black dots ; fringe 

 crrey, sometimes with a pale basal line ; secondaries with 

 S black disco-cellular dot; a double dark browndiscal 

 stripe, bounded externally by a confluent series of spots 

 scarcely paler than the ground colour, but black-.centred 

 in the male ; snow-white in the female ; a very slender 

 black marginal line ; under surface whity-brown, grey- 

 speckled ; small disco-cellular spots, discal and marginal 

 series of dots, black ; primaries showing a broad grey

Both sexes occur of a slight variety resembling the 

 typical male, excepting that the belt of primaries is not 

 so black, the border of secondaiies is a little darker and 

 the pale spots beyond the discal stripe are only black- 

 centred throughout in the, male. Expanse ol wmgs, 



82 — 34 mm.
