Under Gisara ionia {Heterocampa ionia Druce, Ann. Mag. 

 Nat. Hist. (7), V, p. 515, 1900) Druce describes the female 

 as " without the bluish-gray patch at the anal angle." It seems 

 probable that this female represents a distinct species, perhaps 

 the one here described. 



Hemiceras echo, n, sp. 



Whitish gray, without rosy tint; three lines present on fore wings, 

 white, straight, the basal with a dark border within, the inner one 

 narrowly dark bordered without, the outer one broadly bordered within ; 

 spaces between rather heavily irrorated with brownish gray, leaving a 

 pale space extending from anal angle ; discal mark an oval cloud ; sub- 

 terminal line indicated, faint, wavy, limited within by dark shading. 

 Hind wing whitish, the veins brown, the margins and the male stigma 

 brown, the fringe whitish. Collar brown, vertex and thorax light 

 gray, abdomen brownish dorsally. Expanse 40 to 50 mm. 



Seven specimens, Callao, Peru (Mrs. M. J. Pusey) ; Omai, 

 British Guiana (W. Schaus) ; St. Jean, Maroni River, French 

 Guiana (W. Schaus). 



Type. — No. 11 342, U. S. National Museum, 



Allied to H. indistans Guen., with which some of the speci- 

 mens had been identified, but the color is whitish ashen, lack- 

 ing the rosy brownish tint of that species. 



Hemiceras buscki, n. sp. 



Head, collar, and thorax light brownish-ocherous, with a rosy tint; 

 abdomen more brownish above. Fore wing of the color of thorax, 

 the lines straight and rigid, distant on costa, approximate on inner 

 margin, narrow, dark brown, with narrow pale outer borders ; discal 

 dots two, oblique, distinct, small. Hind wing whitish, the stigma of 

 the male large, dark brown. Expanse 37 mm. 



One male, Tabernilla, Canal Zone, Panama (A. Busck). 

 Allied to H. indigna Schaus, but the hind wings much paler, 

 so that the dark brown stigma strongly contrasts. 

 Type. — No. 11343, U. S. National Museum. 



Hemiceras subdigna, n. sp. 



Head, thorax, and dorsum of abdomen purplish brown, not very 

 dark. Fore wing of the same color, lighter in the median space and at 

 anal angle; lines straight and rigid, white, defined by narrow brown 

 lines within, well separated on the costa which the outer line reaches 

 well before apex ; discal dots two, separated, oblique, clouded, the upper 

 one faint ; outer margin above tornus darkly shaded. Hind wings 

 brown, the dark stigma not contrasted. Expanse 38 mm.
