? , Larentia lineolariaJ, Blanchard, in Gay's 'Fauna 

 Chilena,' vii., p. 95, n. 2 (1852-4).

Whether this really is Blanchard's species or not it is 

 quite impossible to say ; but, if not, I see no reason why 

 it should not retain the name of A. lineolaria ; it is not 

 at all unlike a pale greyish and very large representative 

 of A. hexapterata ; the lines across the primaries are, 

 however, all sharply defined in dark grey, touched here 

 and there with black, and the secondaries are of a similar 

 grey colour to the primaries ; in fact the tint throughout 

 the entire insect is singularly uniform, the wings being 

 sericeous, with slight bronze reflections. Expanse of 

 wings, <? 36 mm. ; ? 38 mm. 



85. Amathia indistincta, n. s. 



? . Pattern and coloration extremely like that of 

 Larentia aqueata of Europe, but the secondaries con- 

 siderably smaller ; wings silvery white ; the primaries 

 above entirely covered by numerous parallel undulated 

 dark greyish olivaceous slender lines, four of which 

 appear to be better defined than the others, and repre- 

 sent subbasal, two median and submarginal stripes ; 

 when examined with a lens, however, these stripes are 

 seen to be composed not of single continuous lines, but 

 of parts of two or three lines in proximity, which are 

 darkened ; secondaries with two or three scarcely visible 

 parallel grey submarginal lines ; body whitish ; under 

 surface silvery white ; the markings of the primaries 

 visible through the wings in certain lights. Expanse of 

 wings, 31 mm. 



" Las Zorras, in February." — T. E. 



This is a delicately coloured little species. 



Haplopteryx, n.g. 



Aspect of Anaitis; form of Docirava; allied to Loho- 

 phora; differs from all in the simple structure of the 

 male secondaries, the discoidal cell of which is very 

 small, only extending to the basal fourth ; costal vein
