with the primaries lilacine-greyish, the secondaries and 

 body white ; female with the whole under surface shining 

 white ; the primaries with blackish-speckled costal 

 border, three black marginal dots (there are four in the 

 male), and red-brown fringe ; secondaries sparsely but 

 distinctly black- speckled, more so than in the male, 

 where the speckling is greyer; both sexes with an 

 angulated blackish discal stripe across the primaries ; 

 the secondaries with a sinuous black-spotted brownish 

 discal line, a black disco-cellular spot, and three or four 

 marginal spots ; anterior legs greyish brown above. 

 Expanse of wings, <? 28 mm. ; ? 31 mm.

As I believe I have stated elsewhere, I do not feel at 

 all satisfied that Sestra, Ozola, and allies belong to this 

 family; I believe they have greater affinity to some of 

 the Ennomid(B ; the present location of Pseudosestra 

 must therefore be considered provisional. • 



Of the Zerenidce there seem to be no Chilian repre- 

 sentatives ; at any rate I have seen none ; there is 

 indeed a genus which Felder and Eogenhofer, for some 

 incomprehensible reason, have referred to Scotopterijx, 

 and which in shape bears some resemblance to Walker's 

 two genera (which are structurally identical) Nartkecusa 

 and Ncgla; and not only are the latter out of place in 

 the Zerenidce* but the character of the markings in the 

 Chilian geiius and its (Jephalic structure prove it to be 

 nearly allied to Scotosia.

The species which follow, referred by Felder and 

 Rogenhofer to Alsophila of Hiibner, are none of them 

 congeneric with A. cescularia (the type of the genus 

 Alsophila), and are not all referable to the same 

 family. 



* This fact prevented my identifying tliem with drawings sent 

 me some time since by my excellent corresjDondent, H. Dewitz, 

 and thus induced him to redescribe one of them, Negla .per- 

 plexata as Endropia j^acliardii; the three species, iiJ. naclitlgaUi, 

 tenuiorata, and yerplexata, are not true Endro2nas, and must 

 be placed in Nartliecusa ; they have the antennae of Ereuxa.
