126 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS [Mar., 'll 



The 9 forewing is strongly incised between apex and middle of ter- 

 men and below middle is strongly concave, in the $ the upper incision 

 is much slighter and the lower half of termen is convex. 



Described from one $ and two ? 's from Sao Paulo, Brazil, 

 from Dr. R. von Ihering, of the Museo Paulista, for whom 

 the species is named (No. 10-650). Types in my collection. 



Stenoma chlorina sp. n. 



Exp. 24-27 mm. 



Head sordid yellowish brown,- face hoary white, palpi dark bronzy 

 green with scattered white scales on upper side of both 2nd and 3rd 

 joints; thorax light gray; abdomen light yellow, anal tuft ochreous; 

 legs, ochreous, tarsi ringed with dark brown. 



Forewing of a shining chlorina-green, the $ in certain lights and 

 from certain angles, a lighter, whitish shade is visible, especially be- 

 tween upper edge of cell and costa, at end of cell and in a narrow 

 terminal line. In the 5 this white shade is permanent and parallels 

 costa from extreme base to middle of termen ; it is interrupted at mid- 

 dle of costa and sends a narrow curved spur to the dot at end of cell, 

 and thence to hindmargin ; it is somewhat speckled through its length 

 by ground color; in the 9 the terminal whitish line is much more dis- 

 tinct. 



There is a dark brown, almost black, spot on the fold at two-fifths 

 of wing length from base ; at the end of cell is a more intense dot of 

 the ground color, surrounded by whitish scales. 



Hindwing dull ochreous brown, cilia clear yellow. 



Described from six specimens from Dr. R. von Ihering, Sao 

 Paulo, Brazil (No. 10-860) ; two in Meyrick's collection. 



The forewings of this species are broader than the schlae- 

 geri group, and more nearly the shape of sciaphilina Z. 



Stenoma dissimilis sp. n. 



Exp. $ 17-22 mm., 9 23-27 mm. 



Head white, suflfused with lavender gray in front, face white : palpi 

 white, with an ochreous brown spot, above, at base of 2nd joint, a suf- 

 fusion of the same shade in the middle of the terminal joint; thorax 

 gray; abdomen whitish yellow. 



Forewing, ground color, pure white; the lower half of wing bounded 

 by fold is graj', with a pinkish-lavender suffusion, its upper edge is 

 bordered above by four quadrate spots of a darker degree of the same 

 shade, the dorsal margin from base to middle of this patch is dull gray ;
