160 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 



separate ; antemedian only present on M ; postmedian, terminal and fringe as on 

 forewing ; cell-spot rather smaller. 



Underside with costal margin of forewing more broadly crimson, especially 

 proximally, where it is darkened with purplish ; markings feebly reproduced. 



Carabaya, Peru : Limbani, 9500 ft., May 1904, type; Agnalani, 9000 ft., 

 December 1905, wet season. Both in coll. Tring Mus., collected by G. R. Ockenden. 



What I take to be the ? , as it occurred in the same localities and has the same 

 shape and essentially the same markings, is slightly smaller (32-33 mm.), the head 

 relatively small, with palpus long, third joint not quite as long as second, the red 

 markings less bright, the white spots on abdomen sometimes enlarged. 



Somewhat transitional between groups lb and Ik {Gen. Ins., fasc. 129, pp. 104, 

 108), presumably nearer to the former. 



22. Racheospila monospilonota sp. nov. 



cf , 34 mm. Related to the preceding, agreeing in shape, colour, and scheme 

 of markings, as also in venation and most points of structure ; hindtibia with 

 process longer — somewhat over one-half the length of first tarsal joint. Face red, 

 with a white band near lower edge. Palpus red, with some white admixture. 

 Vertex white ; occiput green. Abdomen without red or white markings ; a large 

 black spot on first tergite. 



Forewing above with costal edge narrowly white, only at extreme base narrowly 

 red; markings blackish, scarcely mixed with red or purple; antemedian dots 

 scarcely prolonged into dashes ; cell-spot less large than in rhodonota, postmedian 

 row of dashes more incurved posteriorly ; no terminal line; fringe ochreous whitish, 

 with an inconspicuous reddish dot at apex. Hind/wing with corresponding dis- 

 tinctions, the cell-dot rather redder than on forewing. 



Underside with costal margin of forewing broadly dark red from base to about 

 one-sixth ; markings very feebly reproduced. 



Monte Tolima, Colombia, 3200 m., February 1910 (A. H. Fassl). Type in coll. 

 Tring Mus. 



The quite different shape distinguishes this species at a glance from the 

 similarly marked nigripes Dogn., which was taken at the same time and place. 

 In that species the <$ hindtibia is without process, and there are several other 

 differences. 



23. Racheospila neodmes sp. nov. 



S, 28-29 mm. ; ? , 30 mm. Face green. Palpus in S about one-and-a-half 

 times diameter of eye, third joint not minute ; in ? slightly over two, third joint 

 long ; white, with a few red scales on outer side, third joint mostly red. Vertex 

 white, occiput narrowly green, a narrow bright-red band intervening. Antenna 

 white proximally, reddish distally ; pectinations in <J about three times diameter 

 of shaft. Thorax and anterior part of abdomen green above, first abdominal tergite 

 with a quadrate black spot. Foreleg marked with reddish and fuscous, middle- and 

 hindleg whitish ; hindtibia in <3 with hair-pencil, but without terminal process. 



Forewing with costa slightly arched, apex moderately pointed, termen nearly 

 straight, oblique ; SC 1 free, R 1 connate ; whitish green, not very opaque, minutely 

 irrorated with dark blue-green scales ; costal edge red at base, otherwise (together 

 with termen) very finely white, separated from the ground-colour by a reddish line
