NOTOPLUSIA MARCHIANA, new species

 basal half instead of being shortly pectinated. Forewing differs in 

 having the subterminal broad black line lunular on interspaces, with 

 only one lunule from vein 6 to vein 4, followed by a fine lunular 

 chestnut line, interrupted by veins; terminal chestnut lunules, expand- 

 ing at veins. Hind wing whitish, the margins suffused with drab 

 narrowly so on outer margin. 



Expanse 40 mm. 



Habitat. — Buenavista, eastern Andes, Colombia.

Another male from Rio Songo, Bolivia, has the hind wing almost 

 completely white. 



Genitalia slides have been made of these two specimens and of N. 

 clara Cramer, showing them to be absolutely different. 



From the Dognin collection.
