Very sinnlar to E. i/jionoiiwuitiriu (Ciuen.) from the West 

 Indii's, but readily distinguished as follows: — hind wing, at 

 least in ? ( cf unknown), more acutely toothed at M' ; fore 

 wing with postmedian line much straightcr (in yponomeu- 

 taria it is angled outwards on K', and bends inwards beneath 

 the cell), suhtcrminal somewhat more irregular, terminal line 

 more continuous (in ij/'Onoinentaria it consists of a series of 

 roundish dots between the veins), fringe rather more strongly

Acidulia atridiscata (Warr.), ab. ohsoleta, nov. ah. 



(J . DifTcrs from the type {Hcema/ea atridiscata, Warr. 

 Nov. Zool. xi. p. 37) in the entire obsolescence of the charac- 

 teristic black discal mark, the position of the discoccllulars 

 being merely indicated very faintly by an elongate light 

 brown mark. Terraen of hind wing very slightly bent at 

 ]V, which is not perceptible in any vinocinctata that I have 

 seen, nor in the figure o'i atridiscata \\\\\c\\ I have before me.

Mr. Warren is strongly inclined to regard atridiscata 

 (described from Peru) as a form of vinuciactata, Gucn. Tlie 

 alliance is certainly very close, but I think they should be 

 kept distinct. I have not been able to study much material, 

 but in any case the antenna of my ab. ohsoleta is more 

 strongly dentate than in the IJra/,ilian viiiocinctata, the 

 fascicles of cilia apparently somewhat longer and stronger. 

 It is not unlikely that obsolcta may prove specitically distinct 

 from both the others, or at least a constant local race. 



I find in this species no structural diliercnces from 

 Aciddlia (= Craspedia, Ilmpsn. = Emmillis, Warr.), the 

 slightly more pointed fore wing certainly not Ixing generic.
