Macronemurus pulchellus n. sp. 



Face pale, a black dot between antennae, a dark band above antennae, 

 and a spot each side on posterior part of vertex; antennae pale brownish; 

 pronotum yellowish, unmarked, except a black dot each side on hind 

 margin and" a black mark in posterior corners ; the outer part of pronotum 

 before the groove is rather darker than the middle; rest of thorax pale 

 yellow, black on sides, and across the anterior lobe, two spots on the 

 mctathorax black, scutelli wholly pale; abdomen black, segments 

 broadly pale behind, tip and most of the second segment pale; legs long 

 and slender, hind femora deep-black, tibia lined near the tip below, 

 anterior femora with an outer black line, spurs as long as two tarsal 

 joints, the basal joint very short, the apical nearly as long as all others 

 together. Wings hyaline; forewings heavily maculate with many quite 

 large black marks, and some near the apex of the hindwings; costal area 

 of forewings unmarked, about 24 spots over rest of surface, mostly over 

 a crossvein, and roundish or elongate in shape; the elongate ones mostly 

 near and at right angles to the hind margin; hind-wings with four or 

 five such spots near the apex and toward hind margin; venation mostly 

 pale; stigma not very dark. Wings rather slender, acute at tip; fore- 

 wing with about five crossveins before radial sector, nine branch 

 radial sector in each wing; abdomen shorter than wings. 



Expanse 65 mm. 



From Erythrasa (Kristensen coll.); type in coll. Petersen. 



Cymothales Gerst. 



The radial sector of hind wings arises near base, with but 

 one crossvein before it ; the wings are rather broad in the stigmal 

 region, and more or less falcate at tip, the hind pair usually 

 strongly falcate; the cubitus in hind wings is scarcely forked, or 

 the fork so weak as not differing from the other veinlets from 

 cubitus to the margin; the anal also weak. The antenna? 

 are very slender, and rather wide apart at base; the legs are 

 extremely slender, the basal tarsal joint longer than the apical; 

 spurs as long as two joints; the tibiae longer than the femora; 

 the prothorax is long and slender. 



Type — C. mirabilis Gerst. 



The species can be separated by this table: 



1. Middle band of fore-wings plainly divided into two spots 2 



Middle band of fore- wings undivided, at least one connection 4 



2. This band only narrowly divided; the apical mark of fore-wings is very broad, 



and hardly at all broken up by pale spots liberiensis 



This band is broadly divided: the apical mark broken up by pale spots. . . . 3 



3. Femur I black, and black-haired; antenna: mostly pale; a spot on fore-wings 



before the stigma, and one near middle of hind margin of each wing. . . . 



speciosus 

 Femur I not black-haired; and only with a few pale dots eccentros
