Underside : primaries and secondaries are bright chrome-yellow, 

 marked with heavy maroon cloudings and striae, and crossed by the same 

 transverse lines which appear on the upperside, but which are very much 

 more distinct upon the lowerside. Expanse 41 mm. 

 COPTOPTERYX gen. nov. 

 % . — Palpi short, compressed, produced downwardly at the ex- 

 tremity. Antennae half as long as the costa of the primaries, 

 minutely pectinated, the pectinations being longest about the 

 middle. The tibiae of the hind legs are slightly swollen, and 

 armed with double spurs at the extremity, and also provided with 

 a singfe spur above this pair. The primaries have the costa an- 

 gulated beyond the middle ; the apex is produced, the outer 

 margin is deeply excised below the apex and at the outer angle. 

 The secondaries have the outer angle obtuse and the outer 

 margin sharply produced about the middle and deeply excised 

 before the anal angle. The. primaries and secondaries are marked 

 with translucent angulated discal spots at the end of the cell. 

 The abdomen is produced one-third of its length beyond the 

 inner margin of the secondaries. The prevalent colors of the 

 genus are browns and olive-grays. Type C. specularia Holl. 



8. C. specularia sp. nov. cf . — Antennae, front, and collar pale olive ; pa- 

 tagiae and upperside of thorax dark olive ; upperside of abdomen black- 

 ish ; lowerside of thorax and abdomen and legs fawn. 



Upperside ; primaries brownish olive, clouded with blackish upon the 

 inner margin and marked with grayish upon the costa about the middle 

 and before the apex. Here wings have a moderately large hyaline trian- 

 gular spot at the end of the cell, and a zig-zag, subbasal, transverse line 

 and a narrow limbal line of black extending from below the costa, where 

 it is sharply curved outwardly to the inner margin two-thirds of the dis- 

 tance from the base. The apex is truncate. The outer margin is deeply 

 excised and serrate below the apex, sharply produced at the middle, and 

 excised and slightly serrate at the outer angle. The secondaries are 

 blackish, marked with pale olivaceous spots on the inner margin and 

 crossed by transverse median and transverse submarginal darker lines. 

 At the end of the cell there is a small hyaline spot. The anal angle is 

 deeply serrate at the ends of the nervules. 



Underside : primaries grayish fawn on the costa, clouded on the inner 

 margin with olivaceous, crossed by a narrow sqbmarginal line running 

 from the costa before the apex to the inner margin two-thirds of the dis- 

 tance from the base. Beyond this line the wings are clouded with olivace- 

 ous, forming a dark subquadrute spot at the apex, succeeded by a trian- 

 gular spot and a heavy shade near the region of the outec angle. The 

 secondaries are oblivaceous, clouded with blackish and crossed by a 

 blackish, transverse, limbal line. Expanse 45 mm.
