STENOMA GUNNI, new species. 

 Plate 8, fig. 4. 



Second joint of labial palpi ocherous below, white above, and black- 

 ish brown at base and apex; terminal joint blackish brown, with a 

 white annulation just before apex. Face whitish, head dark brown. 

 Thorax dark green, strongly metallic, with posterior tuft of same color. 

 Basal third of forewings strongly metallic, iridescent, dark purplish 

 brown with green metallic dorsal edge, separated from the purplish 

 part by a thin white line ; this dark base is sharply defined against the 

 white ground color of the middle part of the wing, and reaches to 

 basal fourth on costa and to near the middle of dorsum; the following 

 white part is mottled by soft gray spots of which a large quadrangular 

 one lies on the dorsal edge and reaches nearly to the middle of the 

 wing; another large gray spot forms an ill-defined fascia from costa 

 to dorsum and is followed by a narrow white line across the wing; the 

 apical part outside of this white line is light golden brown. Cilia 

 gray. Hindwings with strongly developed costal area ciliated to the 

 base, much broader than the forewings; dark greenish brown, with 

 whitish cilia. Abdomen dark brown with ocherous anal tuft. Legs 

 whitish gray with smoky tarsi. 



Alar expanse. — 24-25 mm. 



Habitat. — St. Laurent, Maroni River, French Guiana. Wm. Schaus, 

 collector. 



Type.— Cat. No. 13577, U.S.N.M. 



This species would have been determined by Zeller as a typical 

 Antseotricha. It belongs to the group herilis Felder, reciprocella 

 Walker, and ribbei Zeller, from all of which it differs by the deep 

 metallic green dorsal base and by the golden tips of the forewings. I 

 am unable to maintain the genus Antseotricha Zeller as distinct from 

 Stenoma Zeller. 



STENOMA COMMA, new species. 

 Plate 8, fig. 11. 



Labial palpi light ocherous. Face and head light ocherous. 

 Thorax darker reddish ocherous. Forewings white, the basal half 

 heavily overlaid with light ocherous brown scales, such as are also 

 sprinkled over the apical part of the wing; at the end of the cell is a 

 short transverse dark-brown streak; from apical fourth of costa runs 

 an outwardly curved brown line down to tornus; apical and terminal 

 ed<j;e blackish brown; cilia white. Hindwings ocherous white with 

 light fuscous tip and with a very conspicuous black dash on vein l b ; 

 cilia white. Abdomen and legs light ocherous. 



Alar expanse. — 14-15 mm. 



Habitat. — Cayenne, French Guiana, and Cuba. Wm. Schaus, 

 collector.
