round black discocellular spot suffused with lilacine ; postmedial 

 line very wavy, reddish brown, excurved between the veins, pre- 

 ceded by buff beyond the cell ; on medial area the veins are buff 

 speckled with brown and there is a buff patch between vein 1 and 

 inner margin crossed by dark strigulae ; an indistinct buff sub- 

 terminal fascia from vein 3 to 6 ; a subterminal series of minute 

 white points above veins 3 to 6 ; cilia buff suffused with brown. 

 Hindwings pale ochreous grey, irrorated with fuscous, especially 

 between vein 1 and inner margin; an indistinct, geminate post- 

 medial line with some buff scales at inner margin ; a diffused, dark 

 discocellular spot ; terminal area suffused with fuscous ; cilia grey. 

 Underside greyish white irrorated with fuscous ; forewings with a 

 brown postmedial line, well defined from costa to vein 4 ; medial 

 area from vein 2 to 4 suffused with fuscous ; a diffused black dis- 

 cocellular spot ; hindwings with interrupted postmedial line and 

 black discocellular spot. 

 Expanse 38 mm. 



Hah. Castro, Parana, Brazil. 



Herhita pacondiaria, n. sp. 



^ . This species is very close to H. cajynodiata, Gn., but differs 

 from that species in the absence of black surrounding the grey dis- 

 cocellular spot on the forewings and in the costal apical spots on the 

 underside being white instead of black. The differences being so 

 slight led to examination of the male ancillary appendages, which 

 at once separated the species, the juxta in capnorftato being V-shaped, 

 while in the present species the arms are vertical and parallel, with 

 pointed spatulate ends.

Langsdorfia tessellata, n. sp. 



^ . Palpi reddish brown ; legs ochreous, barred with reddish 

 brown ; tegulae light brown ; thorax ochreous ; patagia ochreous 

 with transverse brown bars ; abdomen brownish ochreous, dorsally 

 brown. Forewings light brown, pale, covered with dark purplish 

 brown spots surrounded by ochreous white, the spots on costal area 

 and in cell small and very dark, a group of large spots beyond cell 

 between veins 4 and 6, two of them confluent above vein 5 ; ternien 

 brown ; cilia light brown. Hindwings ochreous, traces of indistinct
