The same observation applies to this species as to the pre- 

 ceding.

12. liliinopalpa parva^ n. sp. 



Wings above dark brown, with a broad central ochreous 

 band from costa of primaries to near anal angle of secondaries ; 

 outer border paler brown, bounded within and intersected by 

 a line of black ; primaries with a tawny spot in the cell, 

 just above the origin of the first median branch ; a subapical 

 series of decreasing pale ochraceous spots : wings below pale 

 olive-brown, with a broad central creamy band ; basal area 

 externally edged with dark brown, and crossed by brown- 

 edged pale bands ; external area crossed by a series of blind 

 ocelli ; outer border creamy, varied with brown, and inter- 

 sected by a lunulate brown submarginal line in both wings 

 and by two in the secondaries. Expanse of wings 2 inches 

 7 lines. 



This is the smallest i?^i'/JO/)a^>a that I have .seen ; it i-s very 

 different from any other species known to me.
