the fore wings reddish straw-colour, of the hind wings paler; both with scattered black 
streaklets along the costal margin. Type ? . Expanse of wings 39 millims. 
Oajaca, Mexico. From Mr. Sailers collection. 
This species, which seems to be a true Cacoecia, should properly have been figured on 
Plate LXII., among the other species o£ that genus.

Pore wings — fully twice as long as wide, with the costa arched at the base, concave 
beyond the middle, with a well-developed appressed costal fold in the male ; apex produced ; 
apical margin scarcely indented below the apex — reddish chestnut, with shining whitish 
ochreous spots and markings containing some silvery scales : an irregular whitish ochreous 
oblique fascia, angulated at its outer edge below the middle, forms the external margin of a 
rather mottled basal patch ; beyond it, about the middle of the costa, is a triangular whitish 
ochreous spot, followed by two irregular sjjots of the same colour tending towards the anal 
angle, giving the appearance of an oblique fascia broken up into three parts, the middle part 
preceded by a spot of fuscous scales at the end of the cell : beyond the median costal spot 
are four smaller spots, also on the costa, the third from the apex being the most conspicuous : 
cilia pale whitish ochreous. Thorax and abdomen whitish ochreous. Hind wings pale reddish 
chestnut. The anal appendages large and hirsute. Type -J. Expanse of wings 20 millims. 
The locality of Walker's type is not known ; but it agrees precisely with Robinsou^s 
figure, who gives Texas as the habitat of the species. I have several specimens from Texas 
in my own cabinet (some now added to the national collection), which, although exhibiting 
some variation from the original type, are probably correctly referred to this species. 
The very decided costal fold in the male seems to separate this species from the genus 
Lozotcenia according to Heinemann's limitation^ to which reference is made in the remarks 
which follow the description of Cacoecia argyrospila. ■ 
I have thought it desirable to figure a variety of this species received from Canada, which 
approaches somewhat nearly to the Texan varieties mentioned above, but is perhaps even 
more deprived of the typical markings. 
In this specimen, a male, the palpi (which are missing in the type) are slender, not 
profusely clothed, having the apical joint exposed ; the antennte strongly pubescent. The 
fore wings pale yellowish fawn-colour, shaded with brown towards the costa and 
with scattered fuscous scales towards the apical margin ; four very pale yellowish-fawn 
spots on the costa, the first rather triangular scarcely beyond the middle, the last two 
towards the apex containing some silvery scales posteriorly ; a spot of fuscous scales at 
the end of the cell is followed by a pale shining dash. The fascieefoi'm arrangement of the 
pale markings in the type is completely lost in this variety. The dorsal margin is touched
