42 Mr. E. Meyrick's Descriptions of 



whitish spot on costa at * ; a black terminal fascia, partially edged 

 with whitish irroration anteriorly, and nearly separated into three 

 blotches by slender projections of whitish irroration from anterior 

 edge in middle and at J from costa, its terminal edge marked with six 

 violet-blue-metallic dots : cilia light fuscous, with a dark fuscous thick 

 antemedian line. Hind-wings dark fuscous, lighter towards base ; 

 a rather large oblique-oval whitish-fuscous spot in middle of disc ; a 

 small white spot on costa at f, a white transverse mark before 

 termen in middle, and a small white mark near termen above 

 tornus ; a transverse violet-golden-metallic streak across apex ; cilia 

 fuscous, with a dark fuscous subbasal line, a white apical patch, and 

 oblique white patches above and below middle of termen. 



Bolivia, Songo ; one specimen. 



Brenthia pavooiacella, Clem. 



All South American specimens have the white patch on 

 apical cilia of fore-wings more or less obsolete, and the 

 oval discal spot in hind-wings before middle pale fuscous, 

 sometimes partially whitish-tinged ; whereas in North 

 American specimens both these are clear white : I regard 

 them, however, as only geographical forms of the same 

 species, which ranges very widely in America.
