-NOVITATES ZOOLOOICAB XXIII. 1916. 189 



79. Macrolyrcea monochorda sp. nov. 



c?, 45-49 mm. Face dark chocolate above, pale ochreous below. Palpus with 

 third joint relatively rather short (about 0'6 mm.) ; first joint ochreous, the rest 

 mostly chocolate. Clavola and scaled surface of basal part of antenna white. 

 Vertex and anterior part of thorax above bright ochreous, posterior part darker- 

 mixed ; abdomen concolorous with hindwing. Legs mixed whitish and chocolate, 

 the hair on femora more ochreous. 



Forewing rather broad, apex only very minutely and bluntly produced ; termen 

 strongly convex ; cell fully two-fifths, SC 1 free, SC 2 connected by slender bar with 

 SC 3-4 ; ochreous, with very slight pinkish reflections in places ; antemedian line 

 ■obsolete, very faintly suggested at costa and hindmargin ; cell-mark blackish, 

 accompanied by slight pink suffusion, in the type ill-defined but not minute, in one 

 example almost obsolete ; postmedian line blackish, from costa near apex to hind- 

 margin at three-fifths, not at all dentate, almost straight, only with a very faint 

 proximal curve between R 1 and SM 2 , or almost to hindmargin ; the ochreous 

 ground-colour somewhat brightened or deepened for a space of 2 or 3 mm. distally 



to this line. Hindwing paler, especially at base, the pink suffusion rather more 



noticeable ; no markings. 



Forewing beneath rather paler than above, the line feebly showing through. 



Chili (Izquierdo). Type in coll. L. B. Prout. Talcahuano, 2 c?c? in coll. Brit. 

 Mus., one a slight ab. with line obsolete, discal mark stronger. 



Differs from typical Macrolyrcea in having the third joint of the palpus only 

 about half the length, wings broader, apex less produced, hindtibia not dilated. 

 Most of the similar genera {Tetrads, Erosina, etc.) have SC anastomosing strongly 

 with C and with SC 2 . 



80. Meticulodes albiditata sp. nov. 



c?. Closely related to xylinaria Guen. (= xylochromaria Walk.), but the 

 wings broader, fringe perhaps rather more deeply crenulate, colouring brighter, 

 forewing with large white cell-spot (beneath still larger), no longitudinal fuscous 

 streak anteriorly to R 3 , postmedian line slightly more crenulate, apical pale patch 

 more extended, underside with stronger blackish suffusions, postmedian line of 

 hindwing more bent basewards between radials, approaching the form seen in 

 cyclodaria Feld. 



Jimenez, W. Colombia, 1600 ft., March 1907, wet season. Type in coll. 

 L. B. Prout. Also not rare at Huancabamba and Oconeqne, Peru. 



81. Sangala cyaneres sp. nov. 



<$, 38 mm. Palpus rather short, second joint with shortly projecting scales 

 above, third joint quite small, triangularly scaled, partly concealed. Antenna with 

 the pectinations of the inner series entirely wanting, those of the outer reduced to 

 strong teeth. Head, body, and legs concolorous with wings, thorax with a red 

 shoulder-spot. 



Wings shaped as in caelisigna Walk. — Forewing with a quite similar, anteriorly 

 tapering patch from middle of hindmargin nearly to costa, its blue colour, however, 

 rather less pure, showing, at most angles of light, strong bronzy reflections as in 

 <( Nelo" philodamea Druce (Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1885, p. 534); no red spot ;
