South American Micro-Lepidoptera. 93 



dark fuscous towards costa; between this and termen ground- 

 colour more or less ochi'eous or brownish, with four well-marked 

 black dashes, uppermost thickest, between and sometimes round 

 these more or less whitish suffusion : cilia prominent at apex, dark 

 fuscous or browaiish, base ochreous-whitish with a dark shade, 

 towards tornus more or less suffused whitish. Hmdwings dark 

 fuscous ; submedian fold in o filled with long grey hahs ; cilia grey, 

 a dark fuscous subbasal shade. 



Brazil, Tefie; Peru, Jurimaguas; from December to 

 March, twenty-six specimens. Nearly allied to repandella 

 := diortha (of which I have now received more than 100 

 specimens, ranging from Para to Iquitos), but I beheve it is 

 distinct ; the more prominent apical cilia give a character- 

 istic aspect, but this is lost if the specimens are not well- 

 preserved. Examples of this species are included in the 

 British Museum with subscriptella, but the type of that 

 species = repandella.
