the costal margin; and by the presence of faint whitish lines border- 

 ing the submarginal band on the anterior s. Beneath, it differs by 

 the absence of the distinct, clearly-defined submarginal shade on the 

 anterior wings, and the submarginal shade only is found on the pos- 

 teriors ; the exterior line is not present, as in ocellinata, where it forms 

 with the submarginal two parallel distinct lines or shades. 



Macaria sectomaeulata (sp. nov.). 



Expanse, 22 to 25 mm. Length of body, 10 mm. 



Palpi, front and collar, dark yellowish brown. Abdomen and 

 thorax concolorous with the wings, the former with two subdorsal 

 longitudinal series of round black spots ; beneath these on each side 

 of the abdomen, another series of smaller lateral spots, sometimes 

 interrupted. There are thus four spots to each segment. Wings 

 strongly angulated. Anteriors with the apex subfalcate, beneath 

 which the margin is deeply excavated, and then produced, forming a 

 marked angle at the termination of the second median nervule; from 

 this point the margin is almost straight up to the inner angle. Poste- 

 riors with an acute angle, at the termination of the second median 

 nervule. Wings profusely sprinkled with brown atoms and slightly 

 tinged with ochreous ; above dirty white. On the anterior wings the 

 three ordinary lines are distinct, brown, subparallel, slightly undu- 

 lating, reflexed on the costal margin, and there forming slightly dif- 

 fused spots. The subterminal shade is represented principally by 

 two brown, very conspicuous blotches ; the first, immediately beneath 

 the costa, is divided into three or four portions by a transverse line 

 of the ground color and by the costal branches, which are' white. The 

 second, and most conspicuous blotch, is black-brown, situated at 

 the divarication of the second and third median nervules and in- 

 cludes a portion of the exterior line, it is cut into parts by a trans- 

 verse line of the ground color, which immediately follows the exterior 

 line, and by the second and third median nervules, which are marked 

 in white. The indentation below the apex on the outer margin is 

 broadly marked with black-brown.- Posterior wings with only two 

 lines present. The exterior line is followed by a series of light brown 

 blotches, divided by the nervules; discal dots indistinct. Wings be- 

 neath profusely sprinkled with blackish atoms. Median and sub- 

 terminal shades and exterior line present, brown overspread with 

 ochreous. Nervules tinged with ochreous. A series of black dots 

 at the base of the fringe. Discal dots distinct.
