lunules; the marginal black lunules shghtly edged with whitish; 
cuscal tuft slight, linear and black, with paler scales on each side. 
Under side grayish or brown, striated with fuscous, the outer 
half of both wings suffused with dull reddish; cell spots linear, vel- 
vety black, smaller in hind wing; three submarginal dark blotches, 
at costa, beyond cell, and at anal angle; inner margin of fore wing 
below median dull gray to middle. 
Head, thorax, and abdomen like wings; face, bluntly prominent, 
with two dark streaks; shoulders dark brown; patagia much paler; 
abdomen with dark segmental rings; palpi with first and second 
segments externally velvety brown; abdomen beneath and legs pale. 
Hapanse of wings.—44 mm. 
Locality—One male from St. Laurent, Maroni River, French 
Guiana. September, 1904. 
Distinguished by the straight outer line of hind wings. I have 
seen four specimens from Rio Demerara; P. stigmaria Walker, 
(Boarmia) to which it is most closely allied, is smaller (34 mm.), and 
has the line of hind wing twice distinctly angled. 
Type.—Cat. No. 11383, U.S.N.M. 
POLYSEMIA ILLINEATA, new species. 
Differs from P. calvina Druce as follows: The ground color of the 
wings is pale olive green, instead of dark; the veins are all pale 
ochreous, with short brown transverse striolee, instead of pink; the two 
lines instead of being dark and clear through their pink edging, are 
eray, regularly lunulate-dentate, but obscure and without pale ede- 
ing of any sort, the outer line being also preceded by an equally in- 
distinct gray line; all three rise from distinct dark brown costal 
spots, absent in calvina, the first shortly before the discal tuft and 
therefore father from the base; the submarginal line is bluish white, 
not pink; the basal and discal tufts are red brown instead of green 
and pink; the outer line is marked by distinct dark dashes on the 
veins, especially clear in the hind wings. The under sides and the 
bodies show little difference. 
Hupanse of wings——Female, 52 mm., slightly larger than in the 
same sex of calvina. ; 
Locality.—One female from St. Jean, Maroni River, French Gui- 
ana. April, 1904. 
Over and above the differences manifest in color and markings it 
is noticeable that the radial of the hind wing runs out into a small 
but distinct tooth, which is quite absent in calvina. |
