DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW GENERA AND SPEC^IES OF SOUTHAMERICAN GEOMETRID MOTHS.
By William Warren,of London, England.
t.
^Ju^ following species are described from the collection of MrWilliam Schaus, and comprise the new forms contained among thespecimens which he put in my hands for determination. A majorityof the species are from the Guianas, but others are included fromdifterent parts of the neotropical region, Mexico, Cuba, and Brazil.Ihe types are in the U. S. National Museum.

Of three examples from Orizaba, 1 male, 1female have the bi'own markings simple; the other female has the paleedging, while 2 males from Guadalajara both show the yellow mark-ings clearly. Two females from Castro, Parana, and 1 female fromSao Paulo vary in a similar way. I have seen a female from Merida,Venezuela. Walker's type was from Brazil.All the examples seen agree in having the median shade elbowedand swollen across veins 2 and 3 and the pale fringe with orange-redspeckling in the basal half.One female from Orizaba, Mexico, is wholly deep purple in bothwings, with the lines where visible deeper; the al)domen like the
