236 Mr. Warren on the Pijralidina collected 



edged with darker; 2nd white, undulating and denticulated, 

 starting from the middle of the costa -and running out very 

 obliquely towards the apex, then ciurving inwards and running 

 parallel to first line ; the space between these two lines is darker 

 than the rest of the wing, and the second line is always preceded 

 by a broadish brown fascia. Eeniform stigma large, consisting of 

 two dark spots surrounded by lighter ; submarginal line white, 

 undulating, parallel to the others; a marginal row of black spots. 

 Hind wings with all the markings reproduced, and with a distinct 

 black central spot. Head, thorax, abdomen, and palpi yellowisli 

 ochreous ; under side sandy ; all the wings with a black central 

 spot, and a row of black marginal dots ; a broad paler band beyond 

 the middle. Expanse of wings, 18 mm. 



Four females, one male ; one female from Juruena, 

 E. Pm-us, Sei^t. 24tb, 1874 ; one female from Gaviao, 

 E. Jurua, Nov. lOtli, 1874 ; a female from the same 

 river, Nov. 7tb, and a pair in cop. on Nov. 1st, 1874. 



Closely allied to Mcgatomis (J)judicatalis, Wlk., which 

 has a dark brown apical spot, and also to Hj/pena 

 sotinsalis, Wlk., both from St. Domingo. Indeed, the 

 only difference is that P. siihrvfa has the three lines 

 more or less edged with pale ochreous, the ground colour 

 paler and clearer, and the fascia before the second line 

 much more conspicuous. 



The species, however, varies much in itself; two of 

 the five specimens are ochreous, with the markings 

 brown, and approaching much nearer to H. sotiusalis, 

 though still paler ; the other three have a pale yellow 

 ground, and the markings pink. 



13. Paramimetica imitatrix, n. s. 



Fore wing ochreous, suffused with darker ; first line thin, curved, 

 brown, before the middle; second curved outwards, slightly 

 dentated near the costa, then curving obliquely basewards, pre- 

 ceded by a broad brown fascia, which is followed by a paler one, in 

 the middle of which lies a blackish-brown blotch ; submarginal hue 

 indistinct ; a marginal row of black dots, preceded by a dark grey 

 fascia; fringes ochreous mixed with fuscous; orbicular and reni- 

 form stigmata represented by two black dots. Hind wings with 

 the markings of the fore wings repeated. Head, thorax, and 

 abdomen all ochreous, the dark fascia of the hind wings being 

 represented across the abdomen. Under side ochreous, with
