Gcometridae of the Argentine Republic. 837 
Described from S.E. Brazil. I have seen co-types in 
the collection of Mr. E. Dukinfield Jones, and a specimen 
presented by Mr. Schaus in that of the Bi'itish Museum, 
and believe the identification is correct; but I cannot say 
that I am absolutely certain. Mr. Warren inclined to 
refer my specimen to enana, Dognin.

Physocleora punctilla, Schaus, J. N. Y. Ent. Soc., vi, 148

Schaus’ type was from S.E. Brazil; the species occurs also 
in Paraguay. 
242. Physocleora enana (Dognin). 
Boarniia enana, Dognin, Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg., xxxix, 112 
(1895). 
Los Vasquez and Tucuman, in coll. Dognin. Dognin’s 
type was from Ecuador. 
243. Physocleora nigrescens (Prout), nov. sp. 
9. 20 mm. Light brown, densely speckled with blackish, only 
the median area of forewing remaining light (somewhat speckled 
with darker brown), a very broad distal area of forewing and almost 
the whole of hindwing particularly blackened. Forewing with base 
of costa blackish ; a suhbasal, irregularly curved dark line at beyond 
one-fifth ; an antemedian, incurved below cell, at two-fifths ; a post¬ 
median, strongly inbent below cell, at nearly three-fifths, followed 
by a dark ferruginous shade, to which again follows the blackish 
marginal area; cell-spot black, distinct; subterminal line in¬ 
distinctly pale, strongly dentate, filled in proximally with black ; 
terminal black spots between the veins. Hindwing with black 
cell-spot and terminal spots distinct, black antemedian and post¬ 
median lines (slightly inhent below cell), and pale subterminal dis¬ 
cernible, a ferruginous tinge distally to po.stmedian. Undersurface 
similar, basal area of forewing more obscure, no ferruginous shading 
di.stally to postmedian. 
Gran Chaco, near Florenzia, October 1902 (S. R. 
Wagner). Type and another quite similar ^ in coll. 
Br. Mus. A worn example from Tucuman, in coll. 
Bastelberger, seems to be the same species. Possibly
