One 9 , Hoorie, British Guiana (C. W. Beebe). 



Type.— No. 12665, U. S. National Museum. 



Ischnurges bicoloralis, new species. (Fig. 42, No. 18.) 



Palpi slightly curved upward, all the joints evenly fringed 

 with scales below, white, banded with ocher. Body, legs and 

 wings marked with white and ocher. Fore wing shining white ; 

 subbasal and inner blotches cut into angular segments by the 

 white ground, not attaining costa; a blotch below cell, joining 

 a longitudinal one at end of cell, which touches the narrow erect 

 outer line, and is cut longitudinal by white above vein 5; a 

 blotch on inner margin just within the outer line; a large blotch 

 on outer margin, not attaining the edge; fringe ocher at base, 

 white without. Hind wing with mesial and outer broad bands 

 of ocherj produced outward submedianly; a subapical patch, not 

 attaining the margin and continued narrowly toward anal angle ;

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



Type.— No. 12666, U. S. National Museum. 



Subfamily Schcenobiinas. 

 Hositea, new genus. 



Palpi porrect, exceeding the front by about half their length, 

 the second joint roughened with scales below, the third distinct. 

 Maxillary palpi thicker and stouter than the labial palpi, con- 

 siderably longer than those and with rough squamose vestiture. 

 Tongue very short, curled but not long enough to form a spiral. 

 Antennae flattened, lamellate, similar in the sexes. Spurs of 

 the tibiae long. Fore wing with vein 2 from beyond middle of 

 cell, 3-5 close together from near lower angle of cell, 6 from 

 below upper angle, 7 from angle of cell or very shortly stalked, 

 8-9 stalked, 10 and 11 from the cell. Hind wing with vein 2 

 towards end of cell, 3 from the angle, 4-5 slightly above angle 

 and approximate at base, 6 from upper angle of cell, 7 anasto- 

 mosing with 8. Fore wing pointed at apex, the outer margin 

 roundedly produced in the middle ; hind wing with a sharp point 

 at the end of vein 7 and slight points at veins 2 and 4. 



I have placed this genus in the Schoenobiinse on account of 

 the smallness of the tongue ; but whether here or in the Pyraus-
