Stenoma dryoscia, n. sp. 
d . 23 mm. Head, thorax pale brownish-ochreous, face ochreous- 
whitish. Palpi second joint light brownish-ochreous (terminal 
joint broken, doubtless whilish). Antennal ciliations 2. Forewings 
suboblong, costa anteriorly gently, posteriorly slightly arched, apex 
rounded-obtuse, termen rounded, vertical; 2-5 approximated, 7 to 
termen, 8 to costa; brownish-ochreous ; extreme costal edge pale 
ochreous ; a brownish dot on end of cell ; very indistinct suffused 
brownish spots on costa at middle and |, from which still fainter 
excurved shades cross wing to dorsum at | and respectively ; 
a marginal series of indistinct brownish dots round posterior part 
of costa and termen: cilia greyish-ochreous, tips pale greyish. 
Hindwings light grey ; cilia whitisb-grey-ochreous. 
Mexico ( Hedemann ) ; 1 ex. (Vienna Mus.). Perhaps related to 
desidiosa. 
Stenoma ischioptila Meyr. 
Panama Canal Zone, Frijolas, bred August from larva feeding 
on leaves of Persea gratissima (Laurcicece ) (“ Avocado pear ”) ( Zetelc ); 
1 ex. (U.S. Hat. Mus.). The hairpencil described as rising from 
abdomen and resting in groove of hindwings really rises from 
dorsum of hindwings near base and rests in groove of abdomen ; 
the subcostal hairpencil appears to consist of loose hairs not forming 
a tuft. 
Stenoma liantlies, n. sp. 
d 24. mm. Head light greyish-ochreous, face whitish-ochreous. 
Palpi ochreous-whitish, second joint greyish-ochreous. Antennal 
ciliations 1. Thorax greyish-purple, sides of collar and base of 
tegulse whitish. Forewings moderate, rather dilated, costa gently 
arched, apex obtuse, termen slightly rounded, vertical; 2 from 
near angle, 3-5 approximated, 8 to apex (iudefinite) ; uniform 
greyish-purple; costal edge whitish-ochreous ; plical and second 
discal stigmata forming obscure darker dots : cilia grey, tips pale.

Palpi whitish, second joint with dark grey lateral streak on basal 
half, terminal joint suffused dark grey on apical half. Thorax

moderately broad, costa moderately arched, apex rounded, termen 
rounded, little oblique ; 2 from near angle, 3-5 approximated, 
7 to apex (indefinite); whitish, all veins marked dark grey 
lines except near termen, a similar line just beneath costal 
edge to |, marked with slight thickenings at J, J-, and extremity ; 
spots of grey suffusion on dorsum at | and | ;' stigmata blackish, 
plical very obliquety beyond first discal; from second and third
