iNlfT Louis B. Front on the 
]\Ietan, Salta, in coll. Dognin. 
Common in some parts of Brazil, whence it was described 
by Guende.

Azelina mathilda, Butler, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., (5) viii, 
36 (1881). 
Tucuman, in coll. Dognin. 
Butler’s type was from Ecuador, and the species is also 
very common in Peru. By some mistake, it has been 
siudc to variaria, Walk. Walker’s type, a $ and without 
locality, is certainly = jamaicensis, Schaus.

Pero {Azelina) ‘pahnirens.is, Prout, nov. sp. 
36 mm. Antenna with moderately long, well ciliated pectina¬ 
tions. Hind tibia with the terminal spurs rather short. Forewing 
with costa slightly arched at base, then straight or faintly concave 
nearly to apex ; apex acutely pointed ; distal margin roundly 
excised below apex, somewhat projecting at E' and sharply elbowed 
at ; light brown, finely irrorated with pale and dusky scales 
which give it a dull, slightly greyish tone ; lines brown ; ante- 
median rather weak, from costa at 5 mm. to inner margin at 4 mm., 
outbent beneath costa, above M and in submedian area, curved 
basewards at inner margin ; postmedian from costa at 14 mm. to 
inner margin at 9 mm., rather straight, but faintly curved base- 
wards at its extremities ; median area rather dark brown from the 
cell-spot (which is small and rather weak) to the postmedian line; 
terminal area paler than basal. Hindwing with distal margin 
slightly crenulate to Mk here produced, bluntly angled, thence 
faintly sinuate ; pale, brownish grey, becoming slightly browner 
terminally, especially in tornal region ; a dark brown outer line 
from inner margin at about 2 mm. above tornus, pale-margined dis- 
tally, distinct and rather thick (dark-shaded proximally) at first, 
becoming finer and more indistinct, almost vanishing beyond IE ; 
marginal line faintly darkened. Forewing beneath paler than above.
