 joint rosy white sprinkled with brown. Face, head,- and thorax light 

 ocherous. Forewing shining ocherous white with dark brown dust- 

 ing, and with entire costa and terminal edge broadly rosy red. The 

 dark brown scales are irregulary sprinkled over the wing with a 

 first and second discal spot basely emphasized. From apical fourth 

 of costa runs a dark brown line in an outward curve across the wing 

 to dorsum. Cilia rosy with a faint dark marginal line. Hindwings 

 very light lemon yellow with white cilia. Abdomen ocherous. Legs 

 ocherous white. Venation and palpi typical of the genus. 



Alar expanse. — 20 mm. 



Habitat. — St. Jean, Maroni River, French Guiana. Win. Schaus,

STENOMA MAJOR, new species. 

 Plate 8, fig. 8. 



Labial palpi ocherous. Antenna 1 ocherous fuscous, ciliated (1). 

 Face whitish. Head and thorax light ocherous. Forewings elongate 

 with costa evenly arched, reaching its highest point beyond the mid- 

 dle, thence abruptly declined to the sharply pointed, slightly pro- 

 truded apex; termen oblique; dorsum straight; light ocherous with 

 the entire edge narrowly dark ocherous brown and with three nearly 

 equidistant and parallel, transverse, oblique ocherous brown streaks 

 across the wing; the first of these streaks begins at basal third of 

 costa and reaches to the fold, which is itself ocherous brown; the 

 second begins before the middle of costa and reaches to tornus; the 

 third begins beyond the middle of costa and reaches termen. Hincl- 

 wings light yellow. Abdomen and legs yellow; tarsal joints not 

 tufted as in the allied species. 



Alar expanse. — 50-60 mm.

The largest species known in the genus, closely related to Stenoma 

 loxotoma Busck and S. fraternella Busck, but lighter in color, with 

 much more pointed wings and with the three oblique streaks some- 

 what differently placed.
