 Walker's types were from Rio Janeiro. 



63. Leucochroma minoralis, n. s. 

 Fore wings pearly white, with the extrerae base yellow ; three 

 siabcostal dark-edged yellow spots, the second and third representing 

 the two stigmata, and obliquely below them, and nearer the base, 

 three others, forming with the upper series thi'ee interrupted fascite; 

 a blackish spot obliquely below the reniform stigma, followed by 

 two diffuse yellow curved fasciae, the inner one of which is bifurcate 

 towards the costa. Hind wings pearly white, with a central 

 abbreviated dark-edged yellow band, an internally dark-edged 

 yellow submargiual fascia, bifurcate at the apical angle ; a fine 

 yellow line at the base of the fringes. There is no trace of a dark 

 denticulated submargiual line, such as occurs in L. splendidalis, 

 and it is about one-third smaller. Head and thorax white, dusted 

 with yellow ; abdomen whitish, yellow at the sides. Expanse of 

 wings, 19 mm.

One ? . Itatoro, R. Madeira, June 2nd, 1874. 



Lederer made a separate family, Hnmophysidce, to 

 include this genus and Scybalista, solely because the 

 first subcostal branch of the fore wing is not free, but 

 rises out of the second. This single peculiarity in 

 neuration hardly seems sufficient reason for forming a 

 new family, adequate though it maybe (or generic dis- 

 tinction.
