TINEINA. 



CECOPKORID.q^. 

 Heliocausta episarca, n. sp. 



Male, 34 mm. Head and thorax ochreous-reddish. Palpi 

 carmine-pink, internally and at base v/hite. Antennae 

 ochreous, basal third carmine above, abdomen ochreous- 

 whitish. Legis ochreous-whitish, anterior pair, except coxae, 

 carmiine. Forewings elongate, rather broad, costa. rather 

 strongly arched, termen not oblique ; 7 to termen, just below 

 apex; dull ochreous-reddish; costal edge . bright carmine 

 throughout; a dull purplish-fuscous moderate transverse 

 oblique fascia from just beneath costa at one-third to beyond 

 middle of innermargin, broadest below; a purplish-fuscous 

 discal spot at twothirds in middle ; a very faintly indicated 

 fuscous line from costa at three-fourths, thence curved out- 

 wards and ending at anal angle ; cilia purplish fuscous. Hind- 

 wings pale ochreous, cilia pale ochreous, becoming fuscous 

 tinged on basal half on upper half of termen. 



Apparently between iKirthenopa and euselma, Meyr., but 

 differs from both in the presence of the fascia. It has the 

 facies of a Euchcetis, but veins 3 and 4 of hindwings are not 

 separate at origin.
