Catasticta sinainna, sp. n. 



^ . Resembles C. nimhice on the tipper surface, excepting 

 that the central ochreous band is more distinctly divided by 

 the veins, the spots composing it on the primaries smaller ; 

 the postmedian series consists of larger spots, and the marginal 

 spots on the secondaries are larger ; the latter wings are more 

 elongated at anal angle ; the under surface is quite unique in 

 colouring, the ground-colour mustard-yellow, and the veins 

 and markings purplish brown ; the pattern corresponds almost 

 exactly with that on the under surface of C. susiana. 



Expanse of wings 56 millim. 



Pucartambo, Peru {WhiteJy), 



We purchased this insect in 1872, but at that time I was 

 not in a position to decide whether or no it was undescribed j 

 it sliould stand near C. susiana. 



Catasticta reducta^ sp. n. 

 Euterpe colla, Hewitson (net DouWeday), in Coll. Hewits. 



(J. Pattern of both surfaces as in G. anaitis^ but this 

 species is much smaller and has all tlie markings of the upper 

 surface ochreous, irrorated with purplish brown ; the nervures 

 are much more broadly blackish ; the secondaries have a 

 marginal series of small white spots : the macular bands on 

 the under surface of the primaries are clear ochreous, those 

 towards apex being more falciform. 



Expanse of wings 52 millim. 



Ecuador {Buckley). 



Local form holiviana. 



Difftrs from the typical form in having all the markings of 

 the upper surface clear ochreous, with scarcely a trace of dark 

 irroratitn. 



Ex] ; nse of wings 51-54 millim. 



Bolivia. 



The above species is represented in Hewitson's collection 

 by seven examples — four from Ecuador and three from 

 Bolivia — and incorrectly identified by him as Euterpe colla. 

 In the same drawer an example of Doubleday's species is 

 associated with a specimen of C. zancle, and wrongly iden- 

 tified as C. nimhice.
