166 NOVITATES ZOOLOOICAE XXII]. 1916. 



deep rosy; terminal line flue, deep rosy, very slightly crescentic between the veins, 

 forming a very small swelling from tornus and across SM 2 ; fringe white, tinged 

 with rosy in distal half and with strong subtriangular rosy spots opposite the 

 veins. — Hindwing quite similar, the first line sometimes obsolete, the terminal line 

 thickening also very slightly at apex. 



Underside more whitish green, the lines scarcely traceable ; otherwise similar. 



Tncuman, 1100 m., January — February 1905 (J. Steinbach). 3 c?c? in coll. 

 Tring Mns. 



Very near pomposa Dogn. (= diaphana Warr., Nov. Zool. viii. 450, nov. syn.), 

 terminal joint of palpus rather less long, wings brighter green, cell-dots smaller, 

 terminal line appreciably thickened at tornus and on hindwing at apex. 



35. Racheospila pomposa indecora subsp. nov. 



J?, 19-23 mm. Smaller than pomposa pomposa Dogn., cell-dots minute, 

 terminal line scarcely expanding between the veins. 



Mexico : Guadalajara, November 1893 (W. Schaus), type in coll. Tring Mus. ; 

 Jalapa, June 1896 and June 1897 (W. Schaus). Nicaragua: Jinotega, 3400 ft., 

 Jamiary 1906 (M. G. Palmer), in coll. Tring. Mus. 



Labelled by Schaus " congruata Walk.," but that is an example of sigillaria 

 Guen. from Haiti (not sitellaria, where it is wrongly cited in Lep. Cat., Hemith. 

 p. 71). 



36. Racheospila dependens independens subsp. nov. 



Differs from name-typical dependens Warr. as follows : dentate transverse lines 

 distinct, whitish ; the " brown-red " markings lighter, less purplish : costal streak 

 of forewing less broad ; cell-spots on an average smaller, that of forewing not 

 or scarcely confluent with costal streak ; dark costal projection at beginning of 

 postmedian line faint or obsolete ; tornal blotch rednced, especially on forewing. 



Oconeque, Carabaya, Peru, 7000 ft., dry season, July 1904 and February 1905 

 (G. R. Ockenden), in different collections; type <$ in coll. Tring Mus. 



37. Nemoria mustela monostigma subsp. nov. 



S, 26 mm. Smaller than mustela mustela Druce from Central America ; 

 forewing with distinct red, black-mixed discal dot, the lines without the reddish 

 dots on the veins and especially at hindmargiu which are conspicuous in the name- 

 type ; the postmediau on both wings more strongly defined, placed slightly farther 

 from termen. 



San Cajetano, Colombia, 8000 ft., September 1902. Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



The hindtibia shows a well-developed terminal process, which is wanting in the 

 unique type of mustela. ; in the latter, however, the sole hindleg is so badly abraded 

 that it is impossible to say it may not have existed. The new form, however, may 

 well prove a distinct species.

This not uncommon species is unrepresented in the British Museum collection^ 

 and was unknown to me when I revised the subfamily. On the strength of mis-
