466 Dr. A. G. Butler on Lepidoptera from Chili. 
rupted just beyond the cell by a white 7-shaped character ; 
the secondaries are sericeous, cream-coloured, acuminate at 
apex; the neuration is peculiar, the internal vein absent, the 
three median branches placed near the abdominal margin, and 
the lower discocellular veinlet absent; the subcostal branches 
spring from the end of the cell, not from a footstalk, as in the 
female. 
I have followed Warren in calling this a species of Huphia, 
though the character of the male points rather to a relation- 
ship to Remodes and allied genera.

Sericeous ; primaries pale argillaceous brown ; an irregular 
black-brown basal band, bounded externally by a zigzag 
white line; central belt irregular, white, shaded with buff in 
the centre and at inner margin enclosing three large irregular 
black-brown patches, two costal and one crossing the median 
branches, also two small black markings on inner margin, 
connected with the latter on each side by a slender line; the 
central belt is of nearly equal width from the inner margin to 
the lower radial vein (vein 5), but from thence rapidly widens 
to costa, where it is of double the width; a large apical 
blackish patch, divided by an irregularly zigzag submarginal 
line; the latter interrupted below the black patch by an 
oblique patch of white and bounded internally by a broad 
diffused band of smoky brown; fringe pale argillaceous at 
base, white externally, traversed by a central grey line and 
regularly spotted with black: secondaries silvery grey, 
darkest at outer margin; a black dot at the end of the cell ; 
fringe paler than on primaries, with smaller black spots: head 
and collar buff, varied with black ; thorax whitish ; abdomen 
buff, with blackish subdorsal dots in pairs. Under surface 
silvery greyish; primaries with faint indications of the upper 
surface markings: secondaries, when examined with a lens, 
white, speckled with grey, crossed beyond the middle by an 
arched dentate-sinuate blackish line, followed by an ill-defined 
grey band; a black dot at the end of the cell: body below 
brownish ; palpi black, banded with white. Expanse of 
wings 27 millim.

I was not able to adopt one of Herr Ruschewegh’s names 
for this very charming little moth.
