 on hind wing, etc.

3. Sema'opus eiliafa, sp. n. 



<$ . — =35 mm. 



Head light reddish brown, the face becoming pale buff 

 below. Palpus pale buff, marked with dark reddish brown 

 on outer sid^. Antenna dentate, with rather long fascicles of 

 cilia. Hind tibia and tarsus distorted, with masses of buff 

 and pink hair and a single spur, much as in indignaria ) 

 Guen. 



Fore wing with SC 2 from cell, R 2 from very slightly before 

 middle of DC ; pinkish buff, very finely dusted with grey ; 

 lines grey or brown-grey, very' fine ; antemedian straight 

 and rather oblique from one-third hind margin, obsolete in 

 front of SC; median straight, parallel with terinen at 5 mm. 

 therefrom; postmedian strongly sinuous; cell-spot small, 

 black, white-pupilled ; terminal line not. interrupted; fringe 

 concolorous, usually with very feeble and minute dark dots 

 at base opposite the veins. 



Hind wing with terinen almost smooth; antemedian line 

 wanting; median slightly or very slightly bent in middle; 

 postmedian less deeply sinuate than on fore wing. 



Underside with similar markings, the antemedian line 

 always wanting; the median on the hind wing weak or 

 wanting ; postmedian funning slight teeth on the veins ; 

 terminal line slightly thickened or even forming distinct 

 dots between the veins; cell-dots small, not white-pupilled.

Marvellously like the species which passes as indignaria, 

 Guen. (though not agreeing very well with hi.s description), 

 which, however, has the antenna pectinate. Otherwise I can 

 see no essential difference, though the cell-spots are in general 

 minute. It should be added that if Guenee was in error 

 regarding his locality (which he gives as "Brazil?"), his 

 description would lead one to identify his indignaria with 

 abseonditaria, Walk., List Lep. Ins. xxvi. p. 1488, from 

 1 laiti and Cuba.
