COENIPETA LAURENA, new species. 



Fore wings very dark purplish brown, irrorate with lilaceous scales, 

 which form a more distinct tract along median vein and vein 2 to 

 margin, at inception of transverse posterior line on costa and in the 

 terminal space apically; lines pale, not well indicated, confused by 

 the powdering; a row of yellowish bars along the costa; transverse 

 anterior line oblique, wavy, double, the outer gemination marked by 

 a blue bar in submedian interspace; median line dark below its incep- 

 tion on costa, indicated by the absence of the light powdering, coarsely 

 waved; transverse posterior dark with light edges, doubled without 

 by a more diffuse light lilaceous line which is lost below in the general 

 light powdering, waved, arcuate to reniform, thence coarsely waved to 

 inner margin; reniform large, oblique, an oblique yellowish dash 

 ringed by a pale line that becomes white on the outer segment; sub- 

 terminal line finely wavy, starting near the costa but becoming remote 

 from the margin below, pale above with dark edging but l)elow 

 appearing as a dark zigzag lined hy the lilaceous scales and somewhat 

 cupreous tint of the ground color; a row of dark lunules near the 

 margin. Secondaries shining bronzy dark brown, two mesial and a 

 submarginal lighter wavy lines most distinct centrall}^; a row of dark 

 lunules close to margin preceded and followed by reddish ochreous, 

 cut by little blue dashes at veins 2, 5. and 6; fringe dark with a yellow- 

 ish patch at the marginal incision between veins 5 and 6. Below 

 lighter brown, inner area of fore wings pale ocherous shaded; pri- 

 maries with light spottings on costa, a light bar for reniform, a cren- 

 ulate outer line and very light ocherous marginal patches except 

 between veins 3 and 4, traversed by brown lunules near the margin; 

 secondaries with three crenulate mesial lines, discal dot a dark ringlet; 

 a white pupil followed hy a lilack spot at margin between veins (5 and
