178 NOVITATES ZOOLOOICAE XXIII. 1916. 



terminal dots at the veins ; fringe dark-chequered. Hindwing creamy white, 



with smoky clouding at base and extremely feeble subterminal shading ; inner- 

 marginal fold moderate, slightly marked with blackish. 



Forewing beneath dirty whitish from fold to hindmargin, otherwise mostly 

 with smoky-fuscous suffusion, leaving free a distinct, posteriorly broadening, post- 

 median band (divided by a very faint dark line) and a whitish subterminal, which 

 is broken into dots anteriorly, thick and continuous posteriorly, connected with 

 termen by a whitish spot behind R 3 ; cell-mark distinct, elongate ; distal edge of 

 median area not corresponding to that of upperside but rather acutely projecting 

 at R 3 . Hindwing beneath dirty whitish with distinct blackish cell-dot, moderately 

 distinct postmedian line (inbent between radials, moderately acute outwards before 

 and behind) and weaker double snbterminal shade, more or less interrupted (at 

 least the outer) at costa and behind R 3 , confluent behind M 1 . Both wings with 

 termen and fringe nearly as above. 



Urnhnasi, S. Peru, 7000 ft., April— May 1910 (H. and C. Watkius). Type and 

 another in coll. L. B. Front. 



60. Hammaptera tritypa sp. nov. 



S , 36 mm. Face pale olivaceous, somewhat mixed with whitish. Palpus quite 

 short, not reaching beyond frons ; olivaceous. Antennal ciliation minute. Vertex 

 and thorax above olivaceous, slightly mixed with rufous ; metathoracic tuft blackish. 

 Abdomen dorsally pale, with blackish irroration, each segment with a blackish belt 

 posteriorly, formed of confluent pairs of spots. Legs as in the preceding. 



Forewing white, densely but irregularly irrorated with olive scales, which form 

 some vague, confluent lines proximally to the median area and a well-defined line 

 distally to the same ; subbasal line double, inbent behind cell, feeble anteriorly, 

 strong and black posteriorly ; median band 5 mm. wide at costa, less than 3 mm. 

 at hindmargin, formed about as in emberizata Guen., olivaceous in places, belt 

 predominantly mixed with chestnut; its boundary lines black, the antemedian 

 thickened at hindmargin, some finer and less defined black lines traversing the 

 band, the middle ones confluent into a spot behind M 2 ; middle of band otherwise 

 paler, especially at costa ; cell-dot strong, deep black ; distal area clouded with 

 chestnut in its anterior half (except at apex), with olivaceous in its posterior ; 

 subterminal line white, between radials tinged with chestnut, posteriorly thickened, 

 deeply lunulate outward before and behind M 1 , acutely angled inward on SM 2 , 

 then running to tornus ; elongate black markings between the radials proximally 

 and distally to the subterminal ; termen with strong paired black dots ; fringe 



weakly chequered. Hindwing dark smoky except at costal margin ; a slightly 



less dark postmedian band suggested. 



Both wings beneath nearly as in subtersignata Prout {supra), not quite so 

 sharply marked, angle of postmedian line less deep (especially on hindwing), mar- 

 ginal band of hindwing not interrupted; forewing with a longitudinally elongate 

 dark spot in cell rather nearer to base than to cell-spot. 



El Rosario, Rio Pastaza, E. Ecuador, 4900 ft., January 1910. Type in coll. 

 L. B. Prout. 



61. Hammaptera fosteri sp. nov, 



c?, 33-38 mm. Face olivaceous. Palpus rather short, with appressed scales ; 

 olivaceous. Antennal ciliation minute. Metathoracic double crest not very high.
