NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAB XXIII. 1916. 167 



identified material in the collection named, I unfortunately misplaced the species in 

 Racheospila. It is of course a close relative of mimosaria Guen., and must be 

 referred to Nemoria ( = Aplodes Guen.), for the terminal joint of the palpus is 

 quite short in both sexes. 



39. Tacb.ycb.lora prasia sp. nov. 



<$, 22 mm. Close toßavicoma Warr., of which it may possibly prove a form. 



Forewing slightly narrower, rather duller, greyer ; the beginnings of the two 

 lines on hind margin rather far apart, with stronger rosy suffusions between them. 



Hindwing with the greenish shade at base fainter, rather more extended 



distally but almost obsolete along abdominal margin ; boundary-line of the yellow 

 area red with a few black scales (not black), rather thick, less incurved on DC 3 

 (DC 3 itself rather less cnrved) ; strong red distal projections from this line along 

 R 1 and R 2 , joining the postmedian shade, which is also more reddish and diffuse 

 than in flavicoma ; distal area duller grey-green. 



Hindwing beneath with the yellow patch less noticeable than in flavicoma ; an 

 elongate blackish discal mark. 



Rio Huacamayo, Carabaya, Peru, 3100 ft., June 1904, dry season (G. R. 

 Ockenden). Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



A specimen of ßavicoma from Yahuarmayo, S.E. Peru, agrees absolutely with 

 the Fonte Boa series determined by Warren and fitting his description. Both this 

 and prasia differ (at least racially) from aricka Kaye. 



40. Phrudocentra agari sp. nov. 



S , 33 mm. Closely like the largest examples of pupillata Warr. and vivida 

 Warr.,* palpus rather longer (one-and-three-quarter times diameter of eye), 

 antennal pectinations longer (four times diameter of shaft), hindtibia very little 

 dilated, without terminal process. 



Forewing with termen rather more oblique, very slightly bent at R 3 . 



Hindwing with abdominal margin very long, termen strongly bent at R 3 ; the black 

 antemedian patch between DC and abdominal margin wanting. 



Dominica (E. A. Agar). Type in coll. Tring Mus. 



41. Phrudocentra contaminata sp. nov. 



cJ, 32-33 mm. ; ?, 38-39 mm. Head green, with a few white dots. Palpus 

 in c? If, third joint less than half as long as second; in ? 2, third joint more 

 than half second ; white, the second joint (except beneath) and the third rather 

 strongly mixed with fuscous. Antenna fuscous, in <$ rather shortly pectinate 

 (branches scarcely over twice as long as diameter of shaft) ; in ? scarcely serrate. 

 Thorax green, mixed with white beneath. Abdomen above green, with small 

 white, dark-surrounded dots, as in trimaculata Warr. Legs pale ; foretibia mixed 

 with fuscous ; hindtibia in c? not appreciably dilated. 



Forewing with termen in S scarcely, in ? slightly, sinuate (inward anteriorly, 

 outward behind middle) : green, behind M and M 2 and distally to postmedian line 

 in a tapering patch from tornus about to R 1 clouded with dirty olivaceous grey ; 

 lines olivaceous, faint at costa; antemedian fine, gently and rather regularly 



* vivida Warr., which I have hitherto sunk to pupillata, seems only to differ in the shorter (almost 

 obsolete) terminal process of the c* hindtibia, and is at present problematic.
