LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 841 



Female. Testaceous, brown-speckled, cinereous beneath. Palpi 

 slender, rather long, broadly fringed ; third joint less than half the 

 length of the second, bare towards the tip, which is very acute. 

 Wings rather broad. Fore wings hardly acute ; basal, interior and 

 exterior lines brown, undulating; submarginal line more con- 

 spicuous than the preceding lines, diffuse on the inner side, fawn- 

 bordered on the outer side ; exterior border convex, with a black 

 lunulate line. Hind wings pale cinereous. Length of the body 

 5 J lines; of the wings 14 lines. 



Allied to the second South American group, but may form a 

 distinct division in the genus.

Female. Brown, rather stout, cinereous beneath. Frontal 

 tuft prominent. Palpi broadly fringed, slightly ascending; third 

 joint acute, pale and bare at its tip, about one-fourth of the length 

 of the second, with which it forms a slight angle. Wings ample. 

 Fore wings acute, with a white straight oblique middle line, which 

 is diffuse on the outer side, but very concise on the inner side ; 

 basal and exterior lines brown, the latter denticulated, pale-bordered 

 on the outer side ; a diffuse whitish costal subapical patch ; margi- 

 nal points white; fringe blackish. Hind wings brownish cinereous, 

 extending beyond the hind wings. Length of the body 5 lines; of 

 the wings 15 lines. 



Belongs, like H. Lyrcusalis, to the third South American 

 group, and is nearly allied to H. porrectalis,
