Nymphidium quinoni sp. nov. Expanse 1.30 inches. — Head and thorax 

 above, dark brown ; beneath, white. Abdomen above, brown, slightly 

 lighter than thorax ; beneath, white. Antennae dark brown, with some- 

 what lighter tip, and very minute white annulations at base of each joint. 

 Legs white. 



Fore wings above, creamy white, excepting the costal and hind margi- 

 nal areas, which are light brown, with darker markings and spots. The 

 brown of the costal area is well developed, covering nearly all the discoi- 

 dal space, darker at costa than below. In the discoidal space close to the 

 base is a black dot ; beyond this, near centre of discoidal space, is a large 

 black spot ; at the end of discoidal space is a black line, and this line, 

 with a little of the surrounding brown area, extends downwards into the 

 creamy white ground color, forming a knob more or less prominent. The 

 apical and hind marginal areas are light brown, edged with darker brown 

 on the basal side. Down the central part of the brown hind marginal 

 area runs a line of interspacial black dots. The hind spots bear a dark 

 border distinctly touched with white at end of the first and the lowest 

 submedian interspaces. Inner margin creamy white. 



Upper side of hind wing creamy white. The hind margin has a gener- 

 ous brown border, a continuance of the same on the fore wing and iden- 

 tical in every respect, including the interspacial black dots, the marginal 

 white markings, etc. 



The under side of both fore and hind wings is the same in its markings 

 as upper surface, but the white lacks its creamy tinge, and the marginal 

 border is nearer mouse color than brown. The colorings of upper sur- 

 face are repeated but decidedly deadened, and this deadening of under 

 surface color is too well known to need any detailed description. 



The interspacial dark marginal spots are more prominent, owing to the 

 lighter back ground. The dark edging of the hind margins is also more 

 noticeable, and the white marginal spots of upper surface are much more 

 prominent. 



Hab. — Suapure, Venezuela. 



Variations. — Barring variation in size, the colorings in var- 

 ious specimens seem much the same. The greatest variation 

 is in the "jutting" of the brown costal area into the creamy 

 white ground area of fore wing, noted above as near end of 

 discoidal space. The density of the brown of marginal border 

 also varies. 



Taken in November, 1899. It resembles quite closely N. 

 pelops Cram. 



Carystus richardi sp. nov.— Expanse 1.30 inches.— Head and collar 

 bronzy brown. Antennae black. Club black above, brown beneath. 

 Thorax above, dark brown, with some dark gray hairs ; beneath, white.
