Type.— No. 12660, U. S. National Museum. 



Apparently allied to Acropteryx arnea Cramer, which is not 

 before me. The present species, however, has no yellow at the 

 base of the wing as in Cramer's figure, while the outer yellow 

 is here placed close to the edge of the marking instead of near 

 its center. 



Saccopleura lycealis, new species. (Fig. 42, No. 16.) 



Palpi dark brown. Thorax and abdomen olivaceous brown. 

 Fore wing olivaceous, the costa narrowly bright brown. Lines 

 faint, far apart, pale, the inner a faint trace only, the outer 

 faint, straight. A bright white speck on the costa at the emar- 

 gination. Inner area of the wing and fringe shaded with pur- 

 plish. Hind wing with the disk yellow, the costa, outer margin 

 and inner margin broadly black. Beneath the fore wing has 

 the basal field yellow, costa and outer margin broadly dark. 

 Expanse, 26 mm. 



One 5 , Hoorie, British Guiana (C. W. Beebe) . 



Type. — No. 12661, U. S. National Museum. 



Similar to Saccopleura catocalis Ragonot, but the yellow of 

 the hind wing forms a narrow central area, as in some species 

 of Lyces before me. 



Subfamily Pyraustinae. 

 Dichocrocopsis, new genus. 



Palpi porrect, exceeding the front by more than the length 

 of the head, the second joint thickly but closely scaled, the third 

 naked and bent downward. Maxillary palpi minute. Tongue 

 well developed. Hind tibiae with the spurs long. Fore wing 

 with veins 3-5 arising near the end of the cell, 4 and 5 appromi- 

 mated at origin, 7 from below upper angle of cell well separated 

 from 8-9, which are stalked, 10, 11 from the cell. Hind wing 

 with 3-5 from near angle of cell, 3-4 approximated at origin, 6 

 from upper angle of cell, 7 anastomosing with 8. 



Dichocrocopsis maculiferalis, new species. (Fig. 42, No. 17.) 



Dark ocher yellow, with many rounded brownish black spots ; 

 a spot on each side of front below ; abdomen with spot on second 

 segment and subdorsal and lateral rows; venter and legs white. 

 Fore wing with three spots in cell and three below on submedian 

 fold, also three smaller ones on inner margin ; two spots between 

 veins 2-4 at base; an outer row of seven, excurved below cell; 

 a submarginal row of six and a marginal row. Hind wing with
