440 Mr. E. Dukinfield Jones on New Species of 



clothed with scales, without crests; tibiae clothed with scales; 

 abdomen without crests. Fore-wings with the apex slightly acute ; 

 termen very slightly excavated on discal fold, then excurved to 

 tornus; costa slightly excurved at base, then straight to close to 

 apex; vein 3 from well before angle of cell; 5 well above angle; 

 6 from upper angle ; 7 from end of areole ; 8 and 9 stalked from end 

 of areole; 10 from areole ; 11 from cell. Hind-wings with veins 3 

 and 4 from angle of cell ; 6 and 7 from upper angle ; 8 anastomosing 

 with cell at base only. 



Type I. santista, sp. n. 



I have named this genus after Dr. von Ihering, Curator 

 of the National Museum at Sao Paulo, through whose 

 kindness and courtesy I was enabled to make a fine collec- 

 tion at the Biological Station at Alto da Serra, Santos. 



Iheringia santista, sp. n. 



(^. Palpi light brown mixed with white, a few black scales at 

 sides, ends of joints white ; tibiae light brown mixed with white ; 

 f rons ochreous white with scattered black scales ; antennae brown, 

 grey on upper side at base ; tegulae pale olive green ochreous and 

 white, a black outward spot at base; thorax ochreous white; 

 abdomen ochreous brown above, lighter beneath with three narrow 

 black ventral lines and double ill-defined sublateral lines. Fore- 

 wings ochreous white suffused with pale reddish brown and pale 

 olive green; costa pale olive green with some white streaks near 

 apex and a large subbasal black spot crossed by oblique brown line 

 and followed by whitish; antemedial line black, strongly waved, 

 oblique at costa, strongly angled outwards in cell, on vein 2 and on 

 submedian fold, then incurved to inner margin near base ; post- 

 medial line black, dentate, the outward points on the veins, pre- 

 ceded and followed by white on the veins ; a diffused dark medial 

 shade, oblique at costa, strongly excurved at end of cell and in- 

 curved to middle of inner margin ; an indistinct wavy subterminal 

 line preceded by black patches above veins 3 and 5, the space beyond 

 white irrorated with pale olive green; termen black; cilia pale 

 reddish brown with darker centre line ; orbicular and reniform pale 

 olive green defined by dull orange, the latter confluent with a 

 similar spot below the cell; a discocellular pale olive green mark 

 irrorated with orange and slightly defined by black; some orange 

 irroration beyond the cell ; a reddish brown subcostal mark on 

 inner area and a diffused short fascia in lower half of cell, two longer 

 ones below the cell separated by double fine lines which run from 

 subbasal to antemedial line. Hind-wings pale reddish brown
