III the fore wing SC^ arises separate, not from the base of 

 stalk of S(P~^ ; after anastomosin;^- very stron<i-ly with C it 

 does not touch SG-^"*. The hind leg is long and slender. 



Subfam, AciDALiiNJE. 

 Neosterrlia crt/ptereuthus, sp. n. 



cJ . 27 mm. — Face reddish, mixed with fuscous above; 

 palpus reddish; head otherwise concolorous with wings. 

 Fore wing slightly narrower (termen more oblique) 

 than in thetis, Warr. Nov. Zool. vii. p. 158 ; simdarly 

 coloured and marked, the black cell-spot very large and 

 almost round — much larger than in thetis. Hind wing not 

 angled (scarcely even bv^nt) at W ; marked as in thetis, the 

 two white cell-spots large. Fore wing beneath almost uni- 

 form bright red, only the extreme inner marginal edge 

 concolorous with hind wing ; postmedian line marked in 

 deeper red. Hind wing beneatli pale greenish ochreous, 

 terminal and subterminal lines red. 



San Antonio, W. Colombia, 5800 feet, December 1907 

 (1/. G. Palmer). Type in coll. L. B. Prout. 



Warren mentions what is evidently this species as a 

 variety of thetis, but does not allude to the difference of shape, 

 nor to the large cell-spot. It seems to be a quite distinct 

 species. 



Acidah'a manifesta, sp. n. 



cJ ? . 20-24 mm. — Size, colour, and aspect of currivalaria, 

 Kretschmer, but with the markings grey, or at most slightly 

 ochreous grey, never clear ochreous; median shade of fore 

 wing more oblique, reaching inner margin just before one- 

 half, that of hind wing nearer base, well proximal to cell- 

 spot, never crossing or markedly bending round it; post- 

 median line of both wings finer, not or at most very feebly 

 denticulate; a diffuse grey shade distally to postmedian 

 sometimes prominent ; both cell-spots always strikingly large 

 and distinct. Underside more weakl}'' marked than upper 

 (in corrivalaria the reverse is the case). Hind tarsus in male 

 not much shorter than tibia — about three-fourths (in corri- 

 valaria considerably less than one- half). 



Tien-tsin, type (J, 7th September, 1901) in coll. L. B. 

 Prout, togetiier with a series of both sexes, August-September 

 1901, June 1905 and ? 1906, all kindly presented by 

 Mr. Percy Richards. 



Variable in the strength of the markings, but always con- 

 spicuous in the boM^ [)rouiincnt discal spots.
