on secondaries. Underneath the wings are grayish in the $ with brownish mottl- 
ings ; the outer margin on primaries and apex being dark brown. In the 9 under- 
ceath wings are dark brown suffused with lilacine ; the primaries with a white mark 
before the apex, and some postmedial white spots on secondaries. Expanse, $ , 57 
mm.; 9 , 67 mm. 
Habitat: Castro, Parana. 
This species is very distinct. 
Azelina castraria, sp. nov. 
Antennoe simple. Wings hardly dentate. Body and primaries dark greenish 
gray shaded with buff in the cell. The inner line wavj, oblique from the costa at a 
third from the base to the inner margin beyond the middle and nearly contiguous to 
! the outer line which is nearly straight and runs parallel with the outer margin. Both 
lines finely velve'y brown, shaded with olive green which nearly fills the base of the 
V formed by the two lines. A minute black discal point. The outer line is outwardly 
shaded with lilacine, then with a dark greenish shade and finally with pale buff. All 
th:se colors running into each other. Secondaries buff, speckled with dull greenish 
gray. The inner margin and anal angle reddish brown. A submarginal daik shade, 
divided by a faint buff line. Underneath grayish, the ccstal half of each wing red¬ 
dish brown, mottled with gray. An indistinct white outer line and a black discal spot

Wings white, fioely powdered with light brown, lines fine, indistinct and inter¬

row of daik points. Secondaries with the lines more distinct, the basal fine, wavy ; 
ihe median distinct, just beyond 'the cell spot, and geminate ; a postmedial and sub-
