8 ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. 



suffusing towards the hind margin. A similar, though less prominent, dusting 

 of lighter scales appears outside the two subcostal spots. 



The lower half of under side of hind wing is dark brown. Above a line 

 drawn from upper angle across the lower edge of the white spots and ending 

 near the base of the wing the area is a creamy white, excepting the costal area, 

 which is brown. The lower edge of this costal area is separated from the 

 creamy white by a line drawn from base to upper angle, no suffusion whatever 

 being apparent. In this creamy white area between the semitransparent spots 

 and the inner margin is a dash of brown. " 



Described from five specimens in my collection taken in January, 

 1900. The white markings show no variation. This species re- 

 sembles C. lafrenayi Latr., but the white markings on hind wing are 

 not so large, and in lafrenayi the direction is from upper angle down- 

 wards parallel to hind margin, not straight across the wing. The 

 under side of hind wing varies in the location and extent of white 

 markings. 



Methonella carveri A. G. Weeks, Jr. 1 



(Plate V.) 

 Habitat: Suapure, Venezuela. Expanse: 1.50 inches. 



Male. Head black. Antennae black. Club black, with brown tip. Thorax 

 above black, with yellow hairs at base of wings ; beneath, orange. Abdomen 

 above black ; beneath, orange. Legs black. 



Upper side of fore wing orange, black, and yellow. Costa black. The basal 

 area within a line drawn from near centre of costa diagonally across the dis- 

 coidal space to a point one-quarter of an inch within the margin, thence down- 

 wards parallel to hind margin to inner margin, is orange. The apical and hind 

 marginal areas, outside this line, are black. In the centre of the black apical 

 area, running from costa diagonally across it nearly to hind margin, is a yellow 

 band. Below the end of this, in the margin area, is a yellow spot, with a sug- 

 gestion of a smaller one below it. Inner margin orange. 



The upper side of hind wing is of the same orange. Costa orange. From the 

 base a black dash extends upwards a quarter inch along costa. The hind 

 margin has a broad black border, dentated on its basal side. Within this bor- 

 der are a series of interspacial yellow spots. Inner margin orange. 



Under side of both wings the same as upper surface, except that the coloring 

 is not so brilliant. 



Female. Upper surface of both wings the same as male, excepting a fuller
