June, 1908.] Smith: New Species of No 89 



the middle of the cell. Crocea Hy. Edvv. was referred to by Mr. Grote 

 as barely a variety of his species, but Hampson recently recognized 

 it as distinct. 



Singula is larger and darker with the maculation much better de- 

 fined and black; the black bar connecting the median lines is con- 

 spicuous, but there is no brown shading above it. The course of the 

 t. p. line is much as mflava, except that the angle of the lower part 

 of the exsertion is much more obvious, and an oblique shade com- 

 posed of short black dashes extends through the s. t. space almost to 

 the apex. The color of the secondaries is also deeper, more orange 

 than yellow and, altogether, this is a very good species. 



Flavidens differs obviously from both the preceding by the very 

 even t. p. line which is roundedly exserted over the cell and very 

 deeply incurved below it, so that it narrows the median space which 

 is not crossed longitudinally by a conspicuous bar ; but it is crossed 

 transversely by a conspicuous black shade which passes between the 

 ordinary spots, and below the cell is close to or in actual contact with 

 the t. p. line. 



Out of the material separated from the specimens that agree fully 

 with the described species I have separated three series, two repre- 

 senting forms that seem to be undescribed and these are here charac- 

 terized as follows, while I have re-characterized crocea Hy. Edw., 

 which is really a very good species and not a variety or synonym. 



Pseudanarta dupla, new species. 



Ground color dark chocolate brown. Head and thorax with gray scales inter- 

 mixed, giving a somewhat hoary appearance which tips the collar and the edges of 

 the patagia; the latter with a submarginal blackish line. Basal line geminate, black, 

 'traceable almost all the way across the wing. T. a. line geminate, outer | 

 black, inner obscure, intervening space white powdered; in course outwardly oblique i 

 with an outward angle on the sub costa, a more prominent one in the sub-median 

 interspace, and a smaller, more acute tooth below the sub-median. T. p. line 

 geminate, inner line black, distinct, outer brown, obscure, included space white; 

 in course squarely exserted over the reniform, forming a distinct angle on vein 5, 

 thence very evenly oblique to the hind margin except where it is a little drawn 

 in to meet the black bar which extends through the median space from the middle 

 angulation of the t. a. line. The median space above the bar is more obviously 

 brown than elsewhere in the wing. Orbicular largi us, narrowly 



outlined by white scales. Reniform large, kidney -shaped, slightly darker, narrowly 

 outlined by white scales. S. t. line whitish, a little irregular, outwardly edged by 

 black scales in the dusky terminal space ; as a whole almost parallel in course with 

 the t. p. line, so that the s. t. space which is paler than the rest of the wing, is re- 

 markably uniform in width throughout. The fringes are broad, brown at base.
