on secondaiies. Underneath the wings are grayish in the <J with brownish mottl- 

 ings ; the outer margin on primaries and apex being dark brown. In the O under- 

 neath wings are dark brown suffused with lilacine ; the primaries with a white mark 

 before the apex, and some postmedial white spots on secondaries. Expanse, $ , 57 

 mm.; O, 67 mm. 



Habitat: Castro, Parana. 



This species is very distinct. 



Azelina castraria, sp. nov. 



Antenna; simple. Wings hardly dentate. Body and primaries dark greenish 

 gray shaded with buff in the cell. The inner line wavj, oblique from the costa at a 

 third from the base to the inner margin beyond the middle and nearly contiguous to 

 the outer line which is nearly straight and runs parallel with the outer margin. Both 

 lines finely velvey brown, shaded with olive green which nearly fills the base of the 

 V formed by the two lines. A minute black discal point. The outer line is outwardly 

 shaded with lilacine, then with a dark greenish shade and finally with pale buff. All 

 these colors running into each other. Secondaries buff, speckled with dull greenish 

 gray. The inner margin and anal angle reddish brown. A submarginal daik shade, 

 divided by a faint buff line. Underneath grayish, the ccstal half of each wing red- 

 dish brown, mottled with gray. An indistinct white outer line and a black discal spot 

 on the secondaries. Expanse, 33 mm. 



Habitat: Castro, Parana. 

 Nearest Azelina scitaria Obt. 



Subfamily Ascotin^e. 

 Psilopora thesea, sp. nov. 



Wings gray, thinly speckled with dark brown, the lines dark brown : the ante- 

 medial fine, perpendicular to subcostal, then a curve to near submedian and then in- 

 wardly oblique to inner margin. A dark discal point ; beyond this a curved median 

 line and a wavy punctifoim postmedial line ; the space between these two lines filled 

 in with dark brown from inner margin to vein 4 ; a fine reddish shade beyond post- 

 medial and a darker subteiminal grayish line ; a terminal row of black points. Sec- 

 ondaries with a broad dark median fascia from inner margin, slightly bifurcating at 

 cell and not reaching costal margin ; a postmedial punctiform line, followed by two 

 line reddish shades ; the margin darker gray. Expanse, 26 mm. 



Habitat: Castro, Parana. 



Physocleora tascaria, sp. nov. 



Wings white, finely powdered with light brown, lines fine, indistinct and inter- 

 rupted, marked by larger spots on the costa ; the postmedial punctiform, the largest 

 spot being between veins 3 and 4 and is followed by a bright yellow spot, a terminal 

 row of daik points. Secondaries with the lines more distinct, the basal fine, wavy ; 

 the median distinct, just beyond ^the cell spot, and geminate ; a postmedial and sub- 

 terminal grayish shade ; terminal spots between the veins. Underneath primaries
