above and below ; the outer line dark, fine, heavily marked 
between veins 5 and 8, where it is preceded by a wavy 
velvety black line, and followed by two blackish spots 
between veins 6 and 8; the subterminal heavily marked from 
inner margin to vein 4, interrupted by the veins, and followed 
by a duller brown line; marginal dark spots between the 
veins ; fringe dark, with the base paler. Secondaries with 
numerous striz, forming broken lines; the outer line fine 
velvety black, wavy, followed closely by a fine dark brown 
line; the subterminal velvety brown, broken by the veins 
and not reaching the costa; marginal spots and fringe as on

Hab. Castro, Parana. 
Homoptera divaricata. 
Palpi outwardly brown, inwardly fawn-colour. Collar 
light reddish brown. Thorax mottled light and dark brown, 
the patagize posteriorly blackish grey. Abdomen brown, the 
seoments posteriorly dark grey. Primaries dark brown to 
beyond outer line; base of subcostal vein shaded above with 
buff; basal line geminate, buff, not reaching inner margin ; 
inner line whitish buff, geminate, straight, except below sub- 
median, where it is inwardly curved, and on costal margin 
the inner portion is also inwardly curved; this line is out- 
wardly shaded by darker brown and is followed in cell by a 
small velvety spot, representing the orbicular ; from origin of 
vein 2 a pale line curves up to vein 7, which it follows a 
short distance, then curves down to between veins 4 and 5, 
and then is slightly curved to inner margin, and followed 
closely below vein 3 by the outer line; between veins 3 and 
7 the outer line is geminate, pale, filled in by a dark brown 
line, and forms two curves beyond the cell; a pale streak 
on vein 7 beyond the outer line and a broader pale dash from 
vein 7 to costal margin near apex; from inner margin 
to vein 7 the outer line is broadly shaded with dark brown to 
the subterminal, which is velvety blackish brown, toothed 
between veins 3 and 4, and almost obsolescent between 4 
and 6; the outer margin is lilacine grey, darkest close to 
the subterminal, and becoming browner on extreme margin ; 
a marginal row of dark lines between the veins, inwardly 
shaded with buff; a dark terminal line; base of fringe buff. 
Secondaries lighter brown, a dark line from base to outer 
line near the inner margin; outer line pale, finely shaded 
inwardly with dark brown; a subterminal wavy dark brown
