Halisidota thyophora, sp. nov. 
Body yellowish buff; two minute dark points on the collar. Primaries pale 
yellow, somewhat diaphanous, the costal and inner margin yellower; three basal, two 
median, three outer and three terminal, fine, irregular transverse lines, the median 
and outer lines becoming confluent on the inner margin ; on the costal margin some 
black points indicate the lines and there is a submarginal black point between veins 
5 and 6; some dark points on the fringe. Secondaries yellowish white. Expanse, 
38 mm. 
Habitat: Aroa, Venezuela. 
I have used a Mss. name of Moritz on a specimen in the Saunders 
collection at Oxford. This species is allied to H. ceiioiic Butl., with 
which it agrees in neuration. Both are allied to tcxta H.. S. in neura- 
tion, but vein 8 is sometimes present as a short spur on the secondaries, 
whereas all my specimens of texta are without it. 
Euhalisidota sablona, sp. nov. 
9 Body fawn color. Primaries fawn color with some buff spots at the base, 
along the costa, in the cell and a subterminal row; a few minute black scales scat¬ 
tered over the wing. Secondaries pale buft, the outer margin broadly and inegu- 
larly powdered with dark scales. Expanse, 58 mm. 
Habitat: Sao Paulo, S. E. Brazil. 
Phaegoptera nexoides, sp. nov. 
Differs from P. nexa H. S., in the greater extension of the brown on the pri¬ 
maries, leaving only a basal white spot, a faint white median shade and a subterminal 
white band. The collar has no white spots, but the patagise are broadly bordered 
with white dorsally. The secondaries are yellowish white with the veins and a nar¬ 
row marginal shade dark gray. Expanse, 55 nim. 
Habitat: Sao Paulo, S. E. Brazil. 
Phaegoptera chorima, sp. nov. 
Head and thorax black; the collar posteriorly reddish; a dorsal red spot on 
the thorax and a reddish point on the patagise; abdomen dorsally red ; a large 
black subdorsal spot near the base; beneath black with a lateral row of red spots. 
Coxie red. Primaries grayish brown with darker shades; a basal dark yellow band 
edged with black, forming an angle on the median nervure and not reaching the 
inner margin; a yellow spot edged with black in the cell and connected by a black 
shade with the costal margin; an outer row of contiguous triangular spots bordered 
with black; some subterminal and terminal spots similarly colored but small. Sec¬ 
ondaries smoky brown with some yellowish spots on the outer margin towaidsthe 
apex. Expanse, 72 mm.
