but has more orange-yellow on the primaries. The peculiar broad 

 flattened reniform is an almost unique character. 



The lashes had been lost from the type of harhara which caused 

 Barnes and McDunnough to tentatively place the insect in Leucocnemis. 

 The thoracic vestiture is composed of broad scales mixed with some 

 hair which precludes placement in Homoncocnemis (type fortis). 



The frons is roughened as in Lepipolys behrensi and some species 

 now assigned to Oncocnemis such as griseicollis. Tentatively polia- 

 fascies may be placed questionably in Oncocnemis, until additional 

 material and study determines if a new genus is represented, or if 

 it should be placed in Lepipolys.

The types are in the National Museum and are practically identi- 

 cal. The species is best referred to Oncocnemis. Actura is a true 

 Pseudanarta. 



Oncocnemis mackiei sp. nov. 



Primaries : dull grey tinged with some brownish ; ordinary lines obsolescent 

 or obsolete; t. a. marked by a small black oblique line on costa; t. p., when 

 visible, outwardly oblique from costa, only slightly curved around cell, thence 

 oblique to about the center of the inner margin; veins of subterminal-terminal 

 spaces marked by black, interrupted in some specimens by an obsolescent 

 whitish s. t. line; a basal black dash below cell, strong; making contact with 

 an elongate, pale-filled claviform; which is usually faintly outlined by black 

 scales; orbicular elongate, pale filled, with dusky center, outlined by black 

 scales, making contact with reniform; which is short, broad, dusky centered, 

 surrounded by whitish and sometim.es faintly outlined by a few black scales; 

 a thin pale line at base of fringe; which is interlined grey and white and 

 appears nearly concolorous with the primaries. Secondaries: fuscous, paler 

 basally, veins darker, a faint discal mark on the discocellulars ; fringe white 

 interlined with fuscous. Beneath: wings pale basally, with some scattered 

 fuscous scales; outer and costal margins of primaries strongly tinged with 

 fuscous; outer margins of secondaries with a fuscous band, veins somewhat 

 darkened, rounded discal spots on all wings; fringes as on upper side. 



Expanse: 31-34 mm.
