Lepidoptera of the Amuzons. 347 
79. Mucaria cometifera, n. s. 
Allied to M. pernicata, Guenée (which we have recently 
obtained from Rio Janeiro), distinctly smaller, and 
different in pattern ; wings white, mottled with greyish 
brown, the nervures and fringes pale stramineous; wings 
crossed by three greyish brown lines, the first two 
approximated, undulated, incurved at costal margin of 
primaries, the first obsolete upon the secondaries ; third 
line slightly undulated and transverse on the primaries, 
dentate-sinuate and arched on the secondaries, bounding 
a greyish discal band, which is limited externally by a 
less distinct undulated submarginal line, a slender black 
marginal line, two grey lines on the fringe; primaries 
with two black discal dots, one above the other, followed 
by two fusiform silvery white spots; body greyish ; 
under surface washed with yellow, excepting upon the 
external border ; discal band rather reddish; expanse of 
wings, 11 lines.

Kurtropa, Hiibner. 
80. Hutropa? columbaris, n. s. 
Flesh-coloured ; wings crossed by three greyish brown 
lines, the innermost one slightly sinuous, wanting on 
the secondaries, the second, which is placed just beyond 
the middle, very irregularly sinuated; the third flecked 
here and there with black, parallel to the second, and 
limiting the external border, which is of a slightly paler 
greyish brown colour; vertex of head greyish; under 
surface much more pink in tint, the innermost line 
absent, the second line more strongly defined, and the 
third line merged in a very irregular grey submarginal 
band ; expanse of wings, 1 inch 5 lines. 
Serpa, 21st April, 1874. 
This species seems to be allied to H. distribuaria of 
Hiibner, although the banding of the wings is far more 
_ simple; as to whether the genus is rightly referred to 
the Macarude, I must leave to future investigation to 
decide. 
Before leaving the Macariide, | may mention that 
the following species placed in Macaria are referable
