EXOTIC MICROLEPIDOPTERA. 
below middle; a triangular costal spot just before apex: cilia 
oclireous-whitish. Hindwings and cilia ochreous-wkitish. 
Brazil, Sta. Catbarina, Heu-Bremen, January ( Hoffmann ); 
1 ex. (Vienna Mus.). The first American species of Spatalistis, 
but it seems reasonably concordant. 
SYNCAMARIS, n. g. 
Antennae 3 ciliated. Palpi moderately long, obliquely ascending, 
second joint thickened with loosely appressed scales, terminal joint 
short, obtuse. Thorax smooth. Pore wings 2 from |, 3 from 
before angle, 4 and 5 approximated at base, 7-9 approximated at 
base, 7 to below apex. Hindwings with loose cubital pecten; 
3 and 4 nearly approximated at base, 5 parallel, 6 and 7 nearly 
connate, 8 closely approximated to cell to beyond origin of 7. 
Syncamaris argophthalma, n. sp. 
3 . 15 mm. Head whitish-ochreous. Palpi whitish-ochreous, 
terminal joint fuscous except tip. Antennae serrulate, ciliations 1. 
Thorax whitish, anteriorly suffused brownish-ochreous, a brownish- 
ochreous inverted V-shaped mark behind middle. Porewings 
elongate-triangular, cost§, gently arched, apex obtuse, termen 
nearly straight, slightly oblique ; white, on posterior half ochreous- 
whitish; a fuscous streak from base along costa and round apex, round 
apical fourth of costa preceded by a blackish-grey streak continued 
round termen to tornus ; from middle of costa beneath this streak 
a fuscous triangular blotch enclosing a small whitish-ochreous spot, 
from middle of dorsum a subquadrate fuscous blotch connected by 
a short line with costal blotch, enclosing near its posterior margin 
a round white spot; a white spot in disc at surrounded by some 
brownish-ochreous strigulae; an irregular subterminal line of small 
dark fuscous dots connected by ochreous : cilia light brownish- 
ochreous. Hindwings and cilia ochreous-whitish. 
Brazil, Sta. Catharina, Neu-Bremen, January ( Hoffmann ) ; 1 ex. 
(Vienna Mus.). A curious form of uncertain affinity, but apparently 
belonging to the Spatalistis group. 
Amorbia spilocryptis, n. sp. 
3 . 24 mm. Head, thorax dark brown, face beneath frontal 
ridgetuft whitish. Palpi 2|, brownish. Antennae serrate, ciliations 
2. Porewings broad, suboblong, costa moderately arched, with 
moderate fold from base to \ fringed with hairs, termen nearly 
straight, vertical; chestnut-brown, suffusedly strigulated dark 
grey, basal area lighter, a somewhat lighter fascia from beyond 
middle of costa to tornus; inside of costal fold white, enclosing 
a blackish-grey basal blotch : cilia light brownish, a grey subbasal 
line. Hindwings dark fuscous ; a dorsal pocket, covered by ochreous 
fringes from each side ; cilia grey, a darker subbasal line.
