side of forewin^s is proportionally deeper in first than the usual forms. 

 For this I propose the varietal na,me j> a rj>irrat<( ^ new variety. 



Genus DEINOPYGIA Warren. 

 DEINOPYGIA CONIFER, new species. 



Foreiving. — Male, pointed, hind margin oblique; bone-color, ting-ed 

 with ochreous-gray; costa with two dark spots at one-third and two- 

 thirds, but, as in the other species, the lines starting from them are 

 interrupted above middle; the first is curved as usual, the outer 

 slightl}' outcurved below costa, runs ol^liquely inward, marked by red- 

 dish spots on veins to inner margin near inner line; the band thus 

 formed, which is tiHed in with reddish scales l)elow, is, therefore, 

 much narrower than in tnang ulata ; submarginal line pale, unspeckled; 

 cell spot large and dark; fringe concolorous, with dark dots at base. 



HirnhnliKj. — With hind margin rounded, with slight indentation 

 beyond submedian fold, the red-brown band forming a large cone- 

 shaped mark on inner margin reaching vein 6; some red-brown scales 

 on margin at the indentation on submedian fold; submarginal line pale. 



Under side ochreous, with coarse red-brown scales and in forewing 

 tinged with olive-gray; the spots and outer lines red-brown. 



Face, palpi, and front of forelegs dark ])rown; vertex, thorax, and 

 abdomen ochreous; middle segments of abdomen red-brown; anal seg- 

 ment not extraordinarilj^ long, but the anal tufts largely developed. 



I believe the following female to belong to the males above described; 

 but more specimens are needed for corroboration. 



Foreioing. — Female, wholly suffused with olive-gra}', all the mark- 

 ings more or less hidden, except the two dark costal spots and the cell 

 spot. 



Hindwing. — With the black band narrow on inner margin and 

 broadening toward cell; the whole wing with ])lackish atoms; hind 

 margin protuberant in middle, insinuate before anal angle, which is 

 well marked. 



Under side with the cell spots large and ))lack; the l)and of hind- 

 wings black and also an outer line on forewings. 



Thorax and abdomen ochreous, the latter not blotched with black at 

 middle. 



Expanse of loings. — 16 mm. 



Locality. — Cayenne, French Guiana; 3 males, 1 female, January 

 and February, 1904. 



Tijpr.—Cx\t. No. 9223, U.vS.N.M. 



DEINOPYGIA FALCIPENNIS, new species. 



Distinguished from J), caudata and all other species of the genus 

 by the narrow elongate forewings with falcate apex, and the deeply 

 incised hind margin of hindwings.
