60. Psamatodes cMlenaria. (PL XVI., fig. 6). 

 Acidalia chilenaria, Blanchard, in Gay's ' Fauiia 



Chilena,' vii., p. 95, ii. 1 (1852-4). 

 " Valparaiso, September to January." — T. E. 

 This species, excepting in its strongly pectinated an- 

 tennae, bears considerable resemblance to some species of 

 Idcea [Acidalia, auct.) : it is a common insect. 



61. Psamatodes cauquenensis, n. s. 



Larger than either of the preceding species ; shining 

 pale whity brown ; the . primaries above dusted with 

 white, crossed obliquely by three slightly sinuous and 

 crenulated brownish stripes, the two last of which are 

 rather near together ; the outermost dotted with black 

 upon the veins ; a black spot at the end of the cell, and 

 a marginal series of small black dots ; secondaries with 

 the external area whitish in certain lights and bounded 

 internally by a crenulated brownish stripe ; a black 

 disco-cellular dot and a marginal series of minute black 

 points ; under surface with indications of the externo- 

 discal stripe on all the wings, dotted with dark brown upon 

 the veins ; black disco-cellular spots and marginal dots. 

 Expanse of wings, 36 mm. 



"Mountains of the hacienda of Cauquenes." — T. E. 



I found a single unset male of this very distinct 

 species in the collection. 



LioDES, Guenee. 



62. Liodes venata, n. s. 



Nearest to L. leucaniata (Chlenias vithdigera, Wlk.),* 

 from Australia, but with more nearly the coloration of 

 Lozogramma ; upper surface of primaries shining pale 

 chocolate, black-speckled, with the veins and a number 

 of longitudinal streaks between them cream-coloured, a 

 black spot at the end of the cell, and a marginal series ; 

 fringe cream-coloured, shining, traversed by a chocolate- 



* It is, I think, rather doubtful whether this species is congeneric 

 with L. tibiaria; it certainly is not with L. stilbiata [Panagra 

 plusiata, Wlk.), which agrees in structure with Dichromodes, 

 Guenee, as do several species referred to Panagra,
