M^Louis B. Prout on the 
Common and widely distributed from Central America 
and the West Indies to Brazil. Decidedly variable, I am 
not sure whether the synonyms here given have ever 
before been published, though they have long been known 
to w'orkers at the South American Geometridae.

28 mm. Body and wings dull black, slightly tinged with 
brownish. Basal joint of j^alpus, collar, breast and tail orange- 
yellow. Forewing above with a long whitish streak from base to 
near termen, margined anteriorly by cell and posteriorly reach¬ 
ing well beyond submedian fold, which appears as a dark line 
bisecting it; an elongate whitish patch from DC to near termen, 
margined by and R^, bisected by R^ as a dark line. Hindwing 
above unicoloroi;s. Forewing beneath with the streak obsolescent, 
but remaining distinct as a larger or smaller spot at its distal end ; 
subajiical blotch broadened, so as to reach to SC^, but rounding off 
distally. Hindwing beneath with elongate whitish marks distally 
to cell and between this and costa. 
Missiones (C. Berg), in coll. Br. Mus., the type of the 
species. 
A second almost identical, though with slightly more 
white beneath, from Sapucay, Paraguay, stands in coll. Br. 
Mus.; Warren mentions this, or another, from the last- 
named locality. 
I do not know what are the actual affinities of this 
species, which Warren—overlooking the fact that Berg’s 
name was unpublished—does not describe in the note in 
which he advocates removing it to Devarodes. Berg pre¬ 
sented it to the British Museum with the MS. name of 
Cymopsis (1) interlineata attached. Warren communicates 
nothing further than that “ the hindwing has no radial ” 
{i. e. no R^). The following particulars may aid in the 
recognition of the species. Face somewhat prominent; 
eye small; palpus moderate, porrect, rather slender, 2nd 
joint shortly scaled; ^ antenna bipectinate, with rather 
long, strong branches; hindleg {$) rather short, tibia 
dilated, with terminal spurs only; retinaculum long and 
strong, C of forewing well removed from subcostals, SC^‘^
