suffusion ; exterior line thin and interrupted from the costa 
as far as the radial, thence to near the anal angle forming a 
broad black streak, preceded at its lower end by two parallel 
brown-black streaks running at right angles to it, the upper 
one the finer of the two, from below the reniform stigma to 
the anal angle ; orbicular stigma oval, reniform kidney-shaped, 
both distinct, filled up with yellowish, the reniform with a 
smaller flat oval attached to it at the top; a cloudy, fuscous, 
submarginal line, most distinct towards the costa, where it is 
formed by roundish wedge-shaped markings; fringes white, 
with a black dot at the end of each vein. Hind wings white, 
with a thick mass of blackish scales close to the base, a yellow, 
dark-edged, ocelloid, discal spot, and a blackish submarginal 
line, more or less interrupted in the middle, visible as a thin 
curved line from the costa, and becoming a thick black blotch 
near the anal angle; the apex also with a blackish blotch ; 
fringes as in fore wings, but with an indistinct small blackish 
dot in the fringe beyond each basal dot. Head, thorax, and 
abdomen more or less covered with intense black-brown 
scales ; palpi and antenne brownish. Underside of abdomen 
and legs whitish ; underside of wings like upper. 
Eixpanse of wings 34 millim. 
One female from Goya. 
Aphytoceros longipalpis, sp. n. 
Fore wings white, with the base and inner margin suffused 
with dark tawny fuscous, leaving, however, the veins paler ; 
first line fine, brown, curved, separated from the basal blotch 
by a narrow white interspace; exterior line brown, double, 
the outer fainter than the inner portion, starting from costa 
close before the apex and running straight as far as the second 
median nervule, where it is slightly elbowed externally, then 
running inwards between the first and second median nervules 
to touch the base of the reniform stigma, where it again 
curves round and is lost in the suffusion of the inner margin ; 
reniform stigma oblique, quadrangular, yellowish, with fine 
dark edges ; fringe white. Hind wings white, with a large 
discal spot, yellow-centred and broadly edged with brown; a 
brown submarginal line, which forms a deep sinus inwardly 
in the middle, so as to touch the discal spot, and is followed 
by an indistinct fuscous shade ; two lines of more or less erect 
dark scales from the base, one along the median vein, the 
other broader, near the interior margin. Head, face, and 
thorax white; abdomen more suffused with brown-black ; 
palpi and antennee brown. Underside like upper, with
