" Corral, in February.''^^. E.

 the pectinated antennae. 



Spaetopteryx, Guenee. 



70. Spartopteryx ? dentictdata, n. s. 



Somewhat resembles Caripeta in the pattern of the 

 primaries ; the margin slightly subangulated below -apex, 

 owing to the prominence of the third undulation (at 

 extremity of upper radial) ; otherwise there appears to 

 be nothing to separate it from typical Spartopteryx ; 

 primaries sericeous-whitish, with whity-brown costal 

 border and veins, the whole surface speckled and striated 

 with blackish, and clouded with grey ; two very irregular 

 black lines indicating the central belt, which is formed 

 much like that of Caripeta divisata (see Packard's 

 'Monograph,' pi. ix., fig. 51) ; the outer line edged with 

 white ; a slightly sinuous submarginal white-edged black 

 line ; a marginal series of black spots and a conspicuous 

 black disco-cellular spot ; secondaries ashy whitish,- 

 .washed with pale bronze-brown, speckled with dark 

 brown, and crossed by two grey lines, the inner- one, 

 which crosses the wing just beyond the middle, more 

 distinct than the other, and irregularly zigzag ; a mar- 

 ginal series of black spots ; thorax greyish, black- 

 speckled ; abdomen pale bronzy brown ; under surface 

 silvery white, sparsely irrorated with black ; with black 

 disco- cellular spots and traces of two blackish and dark 

 brown undulated discal lines; primaries with a black 

 spot at basal third of costal border, which (as well as the 

 veins) is whity-brown as above ; posterior femora and 

 tibise barred with black near the knee. Expanse of 

 wings, 39 mm.
