it; the snbmarg-inal line between veins 6 and ,3 straight, not formed 

 of hinules between the veins, and narrower. In the liindwing- the dis- 

 position of the hyaline spaces is almost identical with that of vltraria, 

 but the hind margin is altogether different; for, whereas in vltraria 

 veins 6, T, 8 end in acute teeth, the ends of these veins in hebetior are 

 bluntl}' rounded, the lowest lying between veins 6 and 5 rather than 

 beyond vein 5 itself, and the margin insinuate before the anal lo))e 

 instead of straight. On the under side the dark submarginal liand of 

 the hindwing is straight, not waved. 



Expanse of v^inqs. — 26 mm. 



Locality. — St. Jean, Maroni River, Frencii Guiana; 1 male, March, 

 1004. 



Type.—C^t. No. 9212, U.S.N.M. 



Genus APH ANOPHLEPS, new genus. 



Foren'nuj. — Triangular; costa straight, becoming convex l^efore 

 apex; hind margin as long a.s inner margin, more oblique below middle 

 than above. 



HhuIirnKj. — In female with hind margin well rounded, both angles 

 distinct; in male with hind margin protuberant in middle and toward 

 anal angle, which is rounded oti'; antenna? of male ciliated; palpi 

 incurved })efore face, short; hindlegs in the type species with a long- 

 tuft of hairs from femero-tibial joint reaching to end of tarsus, ))oth 

 tibia and tarsus thickened with scales, without spurs; female with ter- 

 minal spurs only. 



JSfeuration. — ^Forewing, cell half the length of wing; discocellular 

 straight, vertical; tirst median nervule at two-thirds, second at five- 

 sixths; radials normal; 7, 8, 9, 10 stalked from before end, 11 free; 

 no areole; hindwing; costal kinked near base to touch subcostal at a 

 point; 6, 7 stalked; 8, 4 coincident in both sexes; in the female of one 

 species broadly forked close before margin. 



Type. — Aphanophleps indjjina, new species. 



In the type species the outer two-thirds of the under side of hind- 

 wing in the male is roughl}^ clothed with curved hairs throughout, 

 and the abdominal margin is simple; in a second species the median 

 vein and the two veinlets also are clothed with fringes of short hairs; 

 the abdominal margin is swollen and the surface below covered with 

 I mealy scales, but the coincidence of the two upper median nervules is 

 sufficient, at least for the present, to characterize the genus. 



APHANOPHLEPS VINOSARIA, new species. 



Forewing .■ — Ochreous, dusted and only in parts tinged with vinous- 

 purple in the male; in the female wholly suii'used with it except along 

 icosta; male, costa, cell spot, and the two lines purple; fir.st line at 

 ,iabout one-third, diffuse, vertical; outer line from two-thirds of costa,
