15G, tab. xi, 5, also referred by Staudinger to Pseudosalijis, 
seems more doubtful generically, though it may quite 
conceivably be a more slenderly-built Salpis. 
213. Salpis carneitincta (Front), nov. sp. 
d $• 37-40 mm. Very similar to o,enea, Butl. (Honorana), 
from Chili, but smaller, costa of forewing faintly concave, ground¬ 
colour tinged with fleshy, the large black discal spots of both wings 
and the black terminal line absent, other lines less distinct, some¬ 
what diffuse, the white vein-dots of postmedian line distinct, a 
characteristic whitish line traversing the base of the very long 
fringes ; underside nearly concolorous with up 2 )er (in aenea whitish, 
especially on hindwing). Antenna very long, in d almost simple, 
minutely pubescent. 
Puente del Inca (W. M. Bayne), 2 d, ¥ in coll. L. B. 
Front, 2 dj 2 ¥ in coll. A. F. Bayne. The type d (in coll. 
L. B. Front) was picked up dead and stiff, yet in good 
condition, in March 1902; one d and one ¥ are dated 
February 17, 1904; another d March 16, 1905. 
One pair in Mr. Bayne’s collection may be regarded as 
an aberration, or possibly a very closely related species, 
showing distinct dark discal spots and moderate dark 
shading to the transverse lines, in these respects making 
an approach to S. aenea. 
Some of the distinctive characters given above for S. 
carneitineta are shared by S. infelix, Butl. {Sahidodes), but 
that is a darker insect, with the distal margin of hind¬ 
wing more deeply toothed, postmedian line nearer termen 
and differently formed, and numerous other differences. 
M. puechi, Dogn. {Lasiops ?), from Peru, is also very close 
to carneitincta. I have seen M. Dognin’s unique type, 
although I cannot now compare it; but it should be dis¬ 
tinguishable by its greenish grey tone, distinct postmedian 
line on upper surface of hind wing, absence of whitish line 
on the base of the fringes, etc.
