SOME NEW SOUTH AMERICAN MOTHS. 



By William Warren, 



Of Chisvjick Lane, London, Etu/land. 



Mr. William Schiius hay put in my hands for determination some 

 moths collected by himself in the Guianas. Among them are several 

 undescribed forms which 1 characterize herewith at his wish. The 

 types are in Mr. Schaus's collection, now in the U. S. National Museum. 



Family THYKIDH).E. 



Genus BELONOPTERA Herrich-Schaeffer. 



BELONOPTERA SANGUINEA, new species. 



Forewing. — Semihyaline ochreous, Avith deep blood red markings; 

 the paler spaces in basal area, along- costa, and hind margin, and the 

 area between v^eins 2 and 5 tinged with rufous; base of inner margin 

 broadly deep red to submedian fold, met there by a band from median 

 vein before the origin of vein 2, and on inner margin just before 

 middle l\y a much l)roadei' olilique band, which forks widely in end of 

 cell and contains a round pale spot; both these bands run ramifying 

 to costa and form a ))road irregular costal streak continued to apex, 

 with various pale patches on costal edge and a larger one at base; 

 shortly before apex a narrow brown streak curves parallel to hind 

 margin, with two or three separate streaks beyond it; at anal angle a 

 deep red ochreous blotch rises, its upper end pointed, reaching vein 4 

 at its middle; in the interval between this and the central band are two 

 irregular red blotches, and some more in the paler space above vein 

 5; all the pale spaces with small complicated reticulations; fringe 

 rufous. 



Tllndininy. — Mainly deep red, having pale areas near base between 

 basal blotch and a broad submedian fascia, another larger on costa 

 beyond middle and a small one be^'ond it, a fourth or submedian fold 

 towards anal angle and a small one at the angle. 



Underside with the markings deep chestnut brown instead of red 

 and very much restricted. 



Face and prothorax red-brown, varied with ochreous; thorax and 

 abdomen above red; below ochreous smeared with reddish fulvous; a 

 pair of ochreous spots on first segment of dorsum.
