14 Mr. E. Me\' rick's Descriptions of 



of costa, reaching at base to dorsum ; a dark leaden-grey apical 

 patch irregularly spotted with dark fuscous, its edge running from 

 before middle of costa to tornus, nearly straight ; a transverse ridge- 

 tuft on lower half of wing beyond middle, and another above 

 tornus ; some small tufts at f above middle and towards apex : 

 cilia grey, beneath tornus pale greyish-ochreous. Hindwings with 

 5 from middle of transverse vein ; rather dark grey, lighter towards 

 base ; cilia grey. 



British Guiana, Bartica, in February {Parish); one 

 specimen. Two other examples from the same locahty 

 are in all probability the same species, the characteristic 

 tufts being in the same position; in the.se the forcwings are 

 wholly fuscous with slight greenish tinge, sprinkled with 

 dark fuscous, and more or less largely suffused with dark 

 leaden-grey ; in one of them there is a cloudy white dot 

 on costa beyond middle. 



Peronea cuprata, n. sp. 



$.13 mm. Head and thorax light greyish, patagia tinged with 

 coppery. Palpi 2, grey irrorated with whitish. Abdomen grey. 

 Forewings elongate, posteriorly dilated, costa anteriorly slightly, 

 posteriorly moderately arched, apex obtuse, termen nearly straight, 

 little oblique ; light brownish ; a leaden-grey basal patch somewhat 

 sprinkled with blackish, especially on edge towards costa, edge 

 running from ^ of costa to f of dorsum, slightly sinuate; a broad 

 terminal patch of deep coppery-brown suffusion, mixed with purplish- 

 grey suffusion, towards apex with a somewhat oblique transverse 

 light greyish streak and some small spots round apical margin, 

 space between these mixed with blackish ; small grey tufts at angles 

 of cell : cilia brownish irrorated with grey and grey-whitish. Hind- 

 wings with 5 from middle of transverse vein; dark grey; cilia 

 grey, with darker subbasal line. 



British Guiana, Bartica, in January {Parish) ; one 

 specimen. 



Peronea flexilineana. Walk. 



British Guiana, Bartica, in April {Parish); ones peci- 

 men. An imdoubted example of this widely distributed 

 Indo-Australian species, wdiich has not been previously 

 recorded from America; it is probably attached to some 

 tree or shrub of cultivation.
