Ml'. Louis B. Front on the 
106. Calocalpe fimhriata (Front), nov. sp. 
$. 46 mm. Of about the size, shape and colour of the European 
Calocal 2 )e cervinalis, Scoj). (= certata, Hub.), the crenulations of 
the liindwing margin not quite so deep as in most of the allies. 
Scheme of pattern as in the allies. Forewing with basal patch and 
median band bounded by rather sharply defined blackish-fuscous 
lines, subbasal line at 2^ mm., somewhat dentate, with a large pro¬ 
jecting s])ot on M ; antemedian from costa at 9 mm. to inner margin 
at 6 mm., bent outward nearly to discal spot in cell ; postmedian 
line from costa at 13 mm. to inner margin at about 9 mm., slightly 
oblique outwards from costa to beyond SC^, parallel with termen to 
between and IVP, then sinuate (or weakly angled) inwards, 
finally making two rather strong projections outwards above and 
below SM^; median band therefore rather narrow ; the pale band 
which follows is traversed by a \veak line ; distal boundary line of 
this pale band moderately distinct, and marked with some dark 
vein-dots ; subterminal line (not thickening into a large tornal spot 
as in the ajffirmata group) preceded by a conspicuous dark fuscous 
baud, stronger and more regular than the dark shading in any 
known form of affirmata and its allies, but interrupted on the veins ; 
cell-spot distinct. Hindwing rather weakly marked ; postmedian 
line and the succeeding one incficated from inner margin to about 
R*, dark-dotted on the veins; subterminal preceded by dark band, 
though much less consjricuous than in forewing. Underside more 
weakly marked, but with the cell-spots conspicuous (as in the 
allies). 
Cacheuta, end of September or beginning of October, 
1904, taken by an inspector on the railway. Type in coll. 
L. B. Front, presented by Mr. A. F. Bayne. 
The specimen is unfortunately in poor condition. Mr. 
Bayne tells me he has, or has seen, another example still 
more damaged, but I have no further data concerning it. 
The species agrees very closely in all points with typical 
Calocalpe (= Eucosmia), but as the $ is unknown, I cannot 
say positively that it may not belong, like cauqnenensis, 
Butl., to the section (or genus) Trip)hosa, Steph., which 
lacks the hair-tuft of hindwing beneath. The coarse of 
the dark lines is not (piite the same as in affirmata, 
Guen., and its small Chilian ally cxacta, Butl., Tr. Ent. 8oc. 
Loud., 1882, 415, but its most striking distinction is in the 
strong:, dark submarginal band. Otherwise it would seem 
rather closely akin to them. I suspect that “ Larentia ”
