Vmaxia juvenis, sp. nov. 
$ . Head yellow above, crimson underneath. Collar yellow. Thorax viola- 
eous brown. Abdomen crimson above, yellow ventrally. Primaries bright yellow ; 
large violaceous brown space from the costal vein at a third from the base to the 
mer angle, except the costal margin itself, which remains yellow, and a small yellow 
pot at the middle of the inner margin, this latter spot being edged with crimson; and 
aere are also some crimson scales at the base of the inner margin ; some dark gray- 
dr spots in the cell; beyond the cell three transverse rows of spots, the first and 
uter rows small, the center row also small except towards the outer margin where 
hey become large and confluent and are more or less shaded with crimson; the ex- 
renreties of the veins crimson. Secondaries pink ; broadly yellowish along the cos- 
al margin. 
9 . Differs in having the dark basal space broken up into large spots more or 
sss broken up into large spots more or less confluent, and the rows of transverse spots 
specially the central row, consists of a series of large spots edged with crimson. The

>right yellow; at the base some small grayish spots circled with crimson, and beyond 
hese a large similarly colored and irregular space extending from the subcostal vein 
0 the inner margin, where it reaches the inner angle; two terminal rows of small dark 
pots; the median yellow space with some small spots and at a fourth from the apex 
bur large and confluent brownish gray spots extending from vein 5 to the costal 
nargin. Secondaries yellowish white, shaded with pink, along the inner margin, 
expanse, 36mm.

?seudalus, gen. nov. 
Antennae pectinated. Thorax broad. Abdomen slight, short. Primaries 
)road, outer margin oblique ; veins 7-10 stalked; 6 from upper angle of cell. Sec- 
mdaries broad; veins 3 and 4 nearly from a point at lower angle of cell; veins 5 and
