SEMYRA PAULA, new species. 



Nearly allied to cardia^ hut the hind wing's darker, usually solidly 

 chestnut brown, rarely whitish, but distinctly washed with brown. 

 The silvery subbasal streak is less angled than in cavdia^ the upper 

 part being a curved arc, not angled, the lower part, although angled, 

 less deeply so than in cardla and smaller. The outer digitate marks 

 are much the same, but there is no orange dash. The subterminal 

 line is less approximated to the margin below and is not dentate; 

 it is linear, pale, bent out nearly to margin about vein T and incurved 

 l)elow vein 2. The eyes are larger than in cardla and the head a little 

 less sunken.

 (E. D. Jones); Sapucay, Paraguay (W. Foster); one male in the Univer-
