13. Racheospila higentiscripta, sp. n. 

 (PI. Vll. fig. 8.) 



c?.— 28 mm. 



Closely allied io promoidoria, Warr. (Nov. Zool. xi. p. 2(1), 

 differing as follows : — 



Antennal pectinations shorter (rather less than twice 

 diameter of shaft). Abdomen above darker. Size smaller. 



Fore wing in addition relatively somewhat shorter, the 

 termen curving so as to become a trifle less oblique anteriorly ; 

 ground-colour rather duller green ; markings much extended, 

 heavily irrorated (except terminal spots at apex, R^, M*, and 

 SAP) with blackish ; in particular, tlie tornal blotch extends 

 along hind margin to 3 or 4 mm. from base, is bi'oidly 

 bounded anteriorly by M from well before origin of j\P to 

 well beyond M^, and is accompanied anteriorly by some smoky 

 clouding which nearly reaches costa and contains the enlarged 

 dark cell-spot. 



Hind wing with both blotches broader than in promontoria, 

 narrowly connected along termen ; cell-dot somewhat en- 

 larged ; coloration as on fore wing. 



i^'ore wing beneath very pale green, hind wing almost 

 white ; the dark markings reproduced (except the greater 

 part of the tornal blotch of hind wing), less reddish, the paler 

 spots at termen white. 



San Antonio, W. Colombia, 5800 feet, December 1907 

 (.1/. G. Palmer), 2 S <S • 



As subsp.(?) duMa, subsp. n., I describe a single S f''oni 

 Intaj, Ecuador {Buckleij), with the ground-colour a little 

 brighter, the markings rather more red (though much daiker 

 than in promontoria), on the fore wing formed as in C. luge.nti- 

 scripta, on the hind wing above with the anal blotch extended 

 on abdominal margin to one-third from base, beneath entirely 

 wanting, the ground-colour above reaching the terminal line 

 between R^ and M^ 



14. Phrudocentra senescens, sp. n. 

 (PI. VII. fig. 16.) 



c?.— 30-31 mm. 



Face green. Palpus short, not reaching beyond frons ; 

 pale beneath. Vertex and antennal shaft white ; pectinations 

 short, scarcely exceeding diameter of shaft. Occiput green. 

 Thorax and abdomen above green, the latter with white dots
