sent by Van Patten from Costa Rica; since then we have received a considerable series 
from the volcano of Irazu in the same country. Individuals show but little variation ; 
some, however, have the outer margin of the secondaries on the upperside slightly 
rufous, whilst others are of a uniform brown. Probably its closest allies are P. ocellifera 
of Colombia and Venezuela and P. polusca of Ecuador and Bolivia; but it differs from 
both of these in the absence of the submarginal row of ocelli on the underside of the 
secondaries and in the greater amount of rufous colouring towards the anal angle.

Pedaliodes cremera, Godm. & Salv. P. Z. S. 1878, p. 267 *. 
Alis fuscis, anticis integris, fascia lata submarginali costam versus ampliore fulva, posticis marginibus sinuatis ; 
subtus ferrugineo-fusco irroratis, fascia fulya anticarum ut in pagina superiore, ocello nigro albo-pupillato 
in ea inter ramos medianos primum et secundum notatis, fascia pallida curvata ultra cellulam, ocello 
nigro inter ramos medianos primum et secundum, duobus minoribus ad angulum analem propius, omnibus 
albo pupillatis ornatis.

This large species, at present only known to us from a single worn example sent us 
from Costa Rica by Mr. Rogers, seems to be allied to Pronophila pasicrates, Hew., 
described from a specimen the origin of which was not known. The position of the 
broad fulvous submarginal band of the primaries is similar in both insects; but in 
P. cremera, instead of being oval, the inner edge is concave, and the band itself runs 
out to the costa on the one side and the inner margin on the other. The underside 
of P. cremera appears to be generally paler, and the ocelli of the anal angle of the 
secondaries much more conspicuous. 
7. Pedaliodes triaria. (Tab. IX. figg. 5, 6.) 
Pedaliodes triaria, Godm. & Salv. P. Z.S. 1878, p. 266°. 
Alis fuscis, fascia arcuata fulva a costa anticarum ad medium marginis externi posticarum extendente, anticis 
punctis subapicalibus quatuor coloris ejusdem; subtus fuscis, nigro irroratis, anticis fascia pagine 
superioris latiore, punctisque quatuor subapicalibus albis, posticis ad apicem flavescentibus et ocellis sex 
(albo pupillatis) submarginalibus ornatis. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu (Rogers’). 
Allied to P. praxithea from Ecuador, but differs in having its primaries more pointed 
at the apex; the tawny bands are narrower and of a paler colour; beneath the surface 
is uniform brown mottled with black, the submarginal ocelli of the secondaries being 
absent in P. praxithea. The original specimen from which our description was taken 
was obtained by Mr. Rogers in the volcano of Irazu, whence he subsequently sent 
other examples.
