West Indies-Trinidad (Port of Spain : Wlsm.). I have a single female from Trinidad, for which I am indebted to Mr. J. H . Hart; this agrees with specimens of the same sex from Petropolis (Brazil), which I am unable to separate from Acureuta lentiginosa, Z. The males have the hind wing somewhat more ochreous than in the female and the fore wings less profusely spotted, but the amount of grey scaling on their surface is somewhat variable. TIQUADRA ? sp. West Indies-Dominica. A single specimen received from Mr. Druce, collected in Dominica, is of a much darker colour and smaller size; moreover there is a conspicuous difference in the neuration of the fore wings, which have veins 3 and 4 arising from a short stalk. It may possibly constitute a new genus; but the specimen is a female, and in such poor condition that it cannot be usefully described. PEXICNEMIDIA, Mschl.
