fore wings pale gray ; an oblique black line finely and acutely pointed 

 on the median vein goes obliquely outwards ; it is bordered within 

 with reddish ; this, with an irregular black line crossing the wing 

 obliquely just before the discal dot and bordered within with red, 

 forms a dark band crossing the wing and enclosing a median watery 

 ash band. A dark irregular black line, forming a great angle on the 

 last subcostal venule, where it is connected with an oblique black 

 apical broken line. Between this and the intradiscal line is a clear 

 light ash area, narrow on the inner edge of the wing, and three 

 times as wide on the costa, and enclosing a linear long black dis- 

 cal dot. This extradiscal line is bordered externally with reddish 

 brown, which is followed by a watery ash band indented on the ven- 

 ules. Beyond, the wing is dark ash, the fringe concolorous. The 

 oblique black apical line consists of three or four longitudinal spots. 

 Hind wings rather paler and of the same color beneath. Fore wings 

 considerably darker beneath. 



Length of fore wing, .70 inch- Behrens. 



Hypsipetes 5-fasciata n. sp. ?. 



Of the ash gray color usual in the genus. Body and wings colored 

 alike ; two dusky spots on the prothorax, and two on each patagium. 

 The fore wings are crossed by five dark smoke-colored bands ; the 

 basal one goes obliquely outwards from the costa to the inner edge, 

 being angulated on the median vein. Beyond is a band twice as 

 broad, dislocated in the median space ; beyond and close to the pre- 

 ceding is a band half as wide and crossing the wing just before the 

 middle. Just beyond it is a faint linear discal mark ; the middle of 

 the wing is clear. In the outer third of the wing is a narrow band, 

 more or less scalloped like the others, and obtusely angulated out- 

 wards ; a broad submarginal band deeply scalloped on the outer edge, 

 the scallops being deeply pointed; the band increases in width 

 towards the costa, the usual oblique apical streak partially conceals 

 one of the scallops, being very well marked ; outer edge of wing ash, 

 not smoky. The veins and their branches are black on the bands. 

 Hind wings light ash with no markings, and not sprinkled over with 

 black scales, as in the preceding species ; a very faint discal dot. 



Beneath uniformly ash, the bands and discal spot very faintly re- 

 produced, more distinct on the costa ; the discal dot on the hind wing 

 quite distinct. 



Length of fore wing, .68 inch. Behrens.
