new Neotropical Geometiiclas. 321 



irregular, projecting two teeth distad above M and. below M-, 

 somewhat incurved on submedian fold and outbent at SM 2 ; 

 the third postmedian, broader, its outer edge (the true 

 " postmedian line ") from two-thirds costa to about four- 

 fifths termen, somewhat oblique outwards to M 1 , with slight 

 projections before and behind R 3 and M 1 , incurved to M 2 , 

 then nearly direct to inner margin, slightly outcurved on 

 either side of SM 2 ; median space from SC to inner margin 

 white, faintly dusted and containing a very small blackish 

 cell-mark ; postmedian followed by a very slender white 

 line ; subterminal line pale, lunulate-dentate, not very 

 distinct ; terminal line dark fuscous, much interrupted, 

 forming irregular pairs of spots, separated by ochreous vein- 

 ends. Hind wing not very broad, apex very slightly pro- 

 duced, termen faintly waved; pale sandy ochreous, somewhat 

 greyer from base to postmedian ; postmedian as in fore wing, 

 but much more indistinct, almost merging into the ground- 

 colour proximally ; terminal line as in fore wing. Under- 

 side without the ochreous colour, the markings somewhat 

 blurred, greyish fuscous; fore wing with basal area suffused 

 as far as antemedian : postmedian followed by a white band, 

 to which succeeds a fuscous submarginal band in anterior 

 half of wing, becoming a mere line in posterior half ; hind 

 wing similar, but with no basal suffusion ; a small but dis- 

 tinct discal dot, which is not observable on upperside.

The exact relationship of this species is unascertained, 

 but it certainly belongs in a general sense to Euphyia (type, 

 picata, Hub.). The autennal ciliation is even shorter than 

 in the type species, the palpus perhaps slightly shorter, but 

 most points of structure agree perfectly. 



Warrenia, gen. nov. 

 (Brachymeria, Warr. MS., nee Westw. 1842.) 



Face rounded, apparently without tuft *. Palpus very short, 

 porrect. Antenna in £ lamellate, with fine pubescence, 

 nearly simple. Fore wing with cell less than one-half (in 

 the type species scarcely two-fifths), areole double, both 

 ample, SC 5 from well before apex of areole. Hind wing with 

 cell short (about one-third), discocellulars straight and 

 oblique, R 2 from centre. 



T_\pe of the genus : Warrenia sphyrophora, sp. n. 



An offshoot of Anapalta, distinguished by the shorter cells 



* Unfortunately the face-scales seem very liable to abrasion, though I 

 have studied specimens otherwise perfect.
