 brown. Thorax above, dark brown, with tawny brown shoulders ; be- 

 neath, tawny brown. Abdomen above, dark brown ; beneath white. 

 Legs tawny brown. Antennae dark brown, whitish at base of club. Club 

 above dark brown ; beneath dark brown, with whitish tip. 



Upper side of fore wing dark brown. Costa tawny brown half way to 

 apex. Basal portion of wing slightly dusted with tawny brown. Across 

 the centre of discoidal space there is a prominent white spot. Below this, 

 in second submedian interspace, is another spot, but nearer the hind mar- 

 gin ; still nearer the hind margin, in interspace above, is a third white 

 spot. These three white spots are of nearly equal size. Near the apex, 

 extending from costa downwards are three small white spots, and a fourth 

 one still farther down. Hind margin has a slight tawny brown fringe. 



Upper side of hind wing dark brown ; costa somewhat lighter. Hind 

 margin has a slight tawny brown fringe. 



Under side of fore wing nearly black, except the costal and apical areas, 

 which are a rich tawny brown. The white spots of the upper surface are 

 repeated. In the interspaces above the lower of the four apical white 

 spots are two black specks, one above the other, showing a tendency to 

 transparency at their centres. In the lowest submedian interspace, at its 

 centre, there is a dusting of light scales. Hind margin is edged with a 

 fine black thread.

Taken in the latter part of July, 1899. 



Recently the writer described a new species of the genus Lichenoch- 

 rusixom Costa Rica as L. marmoratus (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci., Phila., p. 

 814, 1905). It has been found that Sjostedt applied the same specific 

 name to a very different species of the genus from West Africa (Bihang 

 till K. Svenska Vet.-Akad. Handl., xxvii, afd. iv, No. 3, p. 32), and, as 

 his name has considerable priority .over my name, that of Lichenochrus 

 deciduus is proposed to replace L. marmoratus Rehn — J. A. G. Rehn. 



Pseudorthosia variabilis var. pallidior n. var. — Expanse 40 mm.; 

 anterior wings a warm but not dark reddish, more yellowish basally, with 

 the stigmata dark, but the bands of the type absent, the two pale lines in 

 the subapical field faintly indicated against a reddish background. Glen- 

 wood Springs, Colorado, in Mr. J. Mason's collection. I had taken it for 

 a new species, but specimens from the northwest, kindly sent to me by 

 Dr. Dyar, show that it is only a pale form of P. variabilis. — T. D. A. 

 Cockerell.
