Nemoleon pardalice n. sp. 



Face pale, a dark band under and between antennas, two narrow 

 bands on the vertex, made up of black spots, and behind a pair of sub- 

 median marks; antennae brown, except the pale base; pronotum dark, 

 with a pale spot each side in front, and a pale streak behind; thorax 

 dark, a pale spot each side on the anterior lobes, and on scutelli. posterior 

 margin of the anterior lobe and of the mesothorax pale, two pale marks 

 on the metanotum; femora mostly dark, but white-haired, tibiae with 

 basal and preapical dark bands, and tips of tarsal joints dark; spurs 

 not as long as the basal joint, which is about as long as the next two 

 together, apical a little longer than the basal. Abdomen black, white- 

 haired, tip pale. Wings hardly hyaline; venation mostly dark, the 

 subcosta, radius, and cubitus, marked with white, some crossveins white, 

 and some white on branches of the radial sector, median vein wholly 

 black; many veins bordered with black, especially the crossveins in 

 hind part of wings, also the outer gradates, which form a long oblique 

 line, and the veinlcts obliquely above the end of the anal vein, the 

 origin of the radial sector, an oblique vein before it, one oblique vein con- 

 necting it to the radius, and where it bends up toward the radius near 

 the stigma, also black; the stigma dark; some small cross-veins beyond 

 the stigma in the costal area are bordered with black; in the hindwings 

 the subcosta black and white, the other veins mostly black, the forks 

 of veinlets near the outer hind margin are dark, and also above the 

 radius near tip of wing with dark spots on the forks. Wings rather 

 short, and broad; forewings hardly acute at tips, hindwings plainly so; 

 six crossveins before origin of radial sector in the forewing, one of them 

 oblique, about eight branches of radial sector in both pairs, all costals 

 simple. Abdomen much shorter than wings; vertex high and convex 

 in a ridge, pronotum about as long as broad. 



Expanse 40 mm.

Nemoleon 4-maculatus n. sp. 



Head pale, a black mark each side under antennas along the side of 

 the eyes, a black band above antennas, emarginate above in middle, 

 two rows of black spots on vertex, six in each row, more or less c< >nnec1 ed 

 in pairs; antennas pale, annulate with brown; pronotum slender, nar- 

 rowed in front, dull black, a median pale stripe from before middle to 

 tip, and a stripe each side pale; rest of thorax dull black, with a few 

 yellowish spots; abdomen about as long as wings, black, with white 

 hair, tips of segments with a yellow spot above; legs pale, marked with 

 black, long black bristles and white hairs, tips of tibias and tarsi black, 

 femora with black near middle, at least above; basal joint of tarsus as 

 long as last, spurs a little longer than first joint. Wings hyaline, marked 

 with black, venation black and white, forewings with four black spots 

 behind radius, one before origin of radial sector, one on origin of radial 

 sector, one a little beyond first branch of radial sector, and one near the
