XIII. Descriptions of new species of Chilian Lepidoptera.

Since the publication of my last descriptions of new 
species, I have been able to obtain a few more from 
Araucania and Valdivia. I have submitted specimens of 
the greater part of these to Mr. A. G. Butler, who, after 
having compared them with the species of Chilian Lepi- 
doptera already contained in the British Museum, wrote 
to me teliing me that they were all new, and asking me 
at the same time to conserve the same numeration in the 
descriptions as on the specimens sent to him. I have 
now the pleasure of submitting these descriptions, and 
should the publication of these numbers seem strange, 
it is due to the arrangement between Mr. Butler and 
myself, and for which I ask indulgence. 
In respect to No. 12, Neorwmia ? gracilis, Mr. Butler 
tells me that it will form a new genus; but, as entomo- 
logical literature in Chili is very scarce, I have not the 
means of making a good description, and so brother 
entomologists at home will excuse me for having only 
half done my work. Iam not quite sure whether Hrosina 
strigata is a true Hrosina or not, but it is evidently very 
near the genus. 
The following are the species :— 
Erosina strigata, 0. sp. 
Alis anticis ochraceis, in dimidio basali obscurioribus, linea 
arcuata albido-fusca ; nebula subapicali et striis in triente externo 
fumosis; posticis silaceis immaculatis; infra ochraceis pallidiori- 
bus immaculatis. Ex. alar. 30 mm. 
Hab. Colina, mense Januario. 
Fore wings above ochraceous, the basal half being darker, and 
separated from the outer half by an arched brown line, white- 
bordered on the outer side, and internally slightly clouded with 
a smoky brown, of which colour are also the large subapical 
patch and the strie of outer third; fringe alternately white and
