a small white spot on the submedian vein at a third from the base; a large subapical 
vitreous space, on the costal margin, posteriorly shaded with lilacine; the veins 
crossing this space flecked with dark brown ; a whitish marginal line. Secondaries 
white ; at the base pinkish. Underneath the base of the primaries shaded with red. 
Expanse, 33 mm. 
Habitat: Mexico to Brazil. 
Easily distinguished from B. specula? is H. S. and B. trigona 
Grote by the white spot on the collar and the marginal white line. 
Lophocampa andensis, sp. nov. 
Head brown; frons whitish. Thorax brown, the collar and patagiae edged 
with white. Abdomen brown. Primaries brown flecked with yellowish scales and 
with four transverse rows of large white spots, the second row bifurcate from the 
median vein to the costal margin; fringe brown spotted with white. Secondaries 
white; a brown spot at the apex. Expanse, g 40 mm. 
Habitat: U. S. Colombia. 
I consider the following species as belonging to the genus Lopho¬ 
campa Harris; caryce Harr., propinquens Hy. Edw., bicolor Walk., 
agassizii Pack., maculata Harr., and courregesi Dogn. The following 
species have two or three costal spurs on the secondaries; subalpina 
French, albigutta Bdv., ambigua Strk.; ?ninima Neum., has veins 3, 
4 and 5, on the secondaries from a point; sobrina Stretch and lugens 
Hy. Edw have veins 4 and 5 stalked on the secondaries and two costal 
spurs. 
Edwardsi Pack, and labecula Grote seem intermediate between 
Lophoca?npa and Halisidota. My observations have reference only to 
those species which I possess. 
Halisidota typical will include tesselaris A. & S., with its forms 
interlineata Walk., cinctipes Grote and atra Druce, also several species 
described under Phcegoptera , such as daraba Druce, ergana Dogn., 
aconia H. S., and thalassi?ia H. S. Many of the species placed under 
Halisidota will require new genera,including the following species, which 
I describe under that genus until I can obtain more material. 
Halisidota pulverea, sp. nov. 
Body chrome yellow. Primaries chrome yellow thickly covered with dark 
striae and specks, confluent in places and forming an indistinct basal and outer line; 
a submarginal row of blackish points; a large black point at the end of the cell. 
Secondaries yellow, a small brown submarginal spot between veins 5 and 6. Under¬ 
neath whitish yellow ; some brownish striae on the costal and outer margins of the 
primaries. Expanse, g 42 mm. 
Habitat: Sao Paulo, S. E. Brazil. 
Belongs to the same group as strigulosa Walk., mandus H. S.,
