220 Mr. E. Meyrick's Descriptions of 



projections inwards, interrupted beneath apex : cilia ligiit fuscous, 

 with dark fuscous subbasal line, without white patches. Hindwings 

 dark fuscous; a lighter fuscous oblique-oval spot in disc before 

 middle; an inwardly-oblique white mark from costa at |; an 

 indistinct transverse whitish mark from tornus ; a white transverse 

 streak towards termen in middle, its lower end touching termen; 

 a golden-violet-metallic streak across apex : cilia dark fuscous, 

 with oblique whitish apical, median, and tornal patches. 



Brazil, Parana; one example received from Mr. A. 

 Biisck as pavonacella . Recognisable by the narrow terminal 

 band and absence of white patches in cilia of fore wings. 

 The true pavonacella has the terminal band almost equally 

 narrow, edged anteriorly by a small distinct white spot in 

 middle, and a white apical patch in cilia of forewings ; 

 the discal spot of hindwings is more or less suffused with 

 white; it is a small species, 10-11 mm. 



Choreutis lapidaria, Meyr. 



Peru, Huaucayo, 10,650 feet, and Lima, 500 feet, in 

 July and August; common (Parish). This range in eleva- 

 tion is curious, but the specimens are certainly the same 

 species. 



Choreutis cydrota, n. sp. 



(j*. 13 mm. Head and thorax grey finely irrorated with white. 

 Palpi white, mixed with dark grey except towards base. Antennal 

 ciliations 2h. Abdomen dark grey, segmental margins sprinkled 

 with whitish. Forewings rather elongate-triangular, costa gently 

 arched, apex obtuse, termen rounded, somewhat oblique; grey, 

 tips of scales whitish, posteriorly bronzy-tinged; a ba.sal patch 

 finely irrorated with white, edge on costal half rather oblique, 

 well-defined, followed by a silverj'-metallic streak from costa edged 

 with blackish suffusion, on dorsal half suffused into ground-colour; 

 a ferruginous-bronzy blotch on middle of costa, edged with two 

 silvery-metallic spots anteriorly and a curved streak posteriorly, 

 and including a silvery-metallic costal dot, all these edged with 

 some dark fuscous suffusion ; a silvery -metallic dot in disc beneath 

 middle ; some dark fuscous suffusion towards middle of dorsum ; 

 a tuft (probably erectile) of fulvous-tinged scales in disc beyond 

 middle, followed by two or three silvery-metallic dots surroimded 

 with blackish suffusion; a prismatic silvery-metallic submarginal 

 somewhat interrupted streak running round posterior third of costa 

 and termen to tornus, edged ^\^th blackish suffusion, costal edge
