192. Nyssia cupreiplaga, n. s. Mas. Cinereo-ferruginea, crassa, 

 antennis serratis basi late pectinatis, alis anticis nigro subconspersis 

 linea recta obliqua obscure ferruginea plaga exteriore cuprea. 



Male. Ferruginous, with a cinereous tinge, more cinereous beneath, 

 very robust. Antennas broadly pectinated to one-third of the length, 

 serrated from thence to the tips. Fore wings acute, very thinly black- 

 speckled, with a straight oblique middle dark-ferruginous line, beyond 

 which there is a cupreous upright patch which is abbreviated in front 

 and extends to the interior angle. Hind wings cinereous, with a fer- 

 ruginous tinge, densely pilose along the interior border. Length of 

 the body 8 lines ; of the wings 16 lines. 



193. Nyssia cupreistriga, n. s. Mas. Rufescens, antennis subpec- 

 tinatis basi late pectinatis, alis anticis nigro subconspersis linea obliqua 

 subrecta ferruginea fascia exteriore cuprea antice abbreviata, alis 

 posticis aeneo-testaceis« 



Male. Reddish. Palpi broad, obtuse, black- tipped. Antennas broadly 

 pectinated to one-third of the length, slightly pectinated from thence 

 to the tips. Fore wings acute, thinly black-speckled, with a ferrugi- 

 nous oblique nearly straight line ; an exterior upright cupreous band, 

 obliquely abbreviated in front, occupying the hind part of the exterior 

 border. Hind wings aeneous-testaceous, paler along the costa. Length 

 of the body 7 lines; of the wings 16 lines. 

 This species is very closely allied to N. cupreiplaga, but may be distin- 

 guished by the narrower and differently formed cupreous mark on the fore 

 wings, and by the darker fringe of the hind wings.
