TORTRIX PARANA, new species. 



Labial palpi brown, shaded with purple and black. Face, head, and 

 thorax dark golden brown. Forewings dark golden yellow with dark 

 reddish brown and black markings; from middle of costa runs a 

 straight-edged narrow dark brown band obliquely across the wing to 

 tornus; from apical fourth of costa runs a similar parallel band across 

 the wing to termen; on the middle of the cell is a large ill-defined 

 dark brown spot dusted with black scales; costal edge mottled with 

 small black dots. Cilia light golden. Hindwings light silvery fus- 

 cous. Cilia white. Abdomen and hindlegs dark ocherous; forelegs 

 blackish brown. 



Alar expanse. — 13-14 mm. 



Habitat. — Castro, Parana, Brazil. Schaus collection. 



Type.— Qui. No. 13598, U.S.N.M. 



Cotype in British Museum. 



Nearly related to the foregoing species ; differing in pattern "and in 

 the dark golden color of the forewings. 



Family HEMEROPHILIDyE. 

 ORDUPIA, new genus. 



Type. — Ordupia friserella Busck. 



Labial palpi curved, upturned, reaching vertex; second joint thick- 

 ened with smoothly appressed scales; third joint shorter than second, 

 smooth, bluntly pointed. Antennae short, less than half the wing- 

 length; thick smooth above, below with one row of thick, closely set, 

 short-haired lamella?, which are twice as long as the thickness of the 

 base. Head smooth. Forewings with straight edges, apex bluntly 

 pointed, termen oblique, tornus pronounced; 12 veins, all separate; 

 2 from before the end of the cell, 3-9 from end of cell; 8 to termen; 

 l b furcate at base. Hindwings broader than the forewings, triangular 

 with straight costa and nearly straight termen; 8 veins; 3 and 4 

 stalked; 5, 6, and 7 parallel. Posterior tibiae with smoothly appressed 

 long hairs above. 



A peculiar noctuid-like form allied to Hemerophila Hiibner, which 

 genus may be a development from Ardrupia. The very peculiar one- 

 sided antennae and the course of vein 8 in the forewing as well as the 

 very different general habitus easily distinguish the present genus. 



Named in fond memory of my indebtedness for my early training in 

 Ordrup College, Denmark, under that eminent and beloved teacher, 

 Prof. H. C. Frederiksen.
