PHYCIODES. 205 
lines of the secondaries are obsolete, and the base of the primaries is quite uniform 
brownish black. Beneath, the general colour is dark grey instead of ferruginous. 
P. subota is not uncommon in the valley of the Polochic in Guatemala, up to an 
elevation of about 4000 feet; but we have not seen it from anywhere else in that 
country. From Costa Rica we have only two specimens; these are somewhat aberrant, 
the cross band of the secondaries being narrower and the base of the wings beneath darker. 
We have figured one of the types from the Polochic valley, Guatemala. 
30. Phyciodes drymza. (Tab. XXII. figg. 9, 10.) 
Phyciodes drymea, Godm. & Salv. P. Z. S. 1878, p. 268°. 
P. ardys quoque similis, sed supra fascia maculosa posticarum transversa fere obsoleta; subtus maculis omnibus 
valde indistinctis obscure griseo-fuscis, fusco irroratis. 
Hab. Guatemaua, Las Nubes (0. 8.1), Chisoy and Polochic valleys (Ff. D. G.& O. 8.1), 
Sinanja, Purula, Duefias, and Calderas (Champion). 
Allied to the last species, but differing in having a row of very small spots across 
the secondaries instead of a distinct band. Beneath, the marks of the secondaries are 
very indistinct, and the general colour is of a brownish tinge. 
Our series of specimens show great uniformity. 
P. drymea is peculiar to the mountain-districts of Guatemala, ranging as high as 
7000 feet at Calderas in the Volcan de Fuego. 
We have figured a male from Purula, Guatemala. 
31. Phyciodes sosis. (Tab. XXII. figg. 11, 12.) 
Phyciodes sosis, Godm. & Salv. Ann. & Mag. N. H. ser. 5, 1. p. 262°. 
P, ardys quoque similis, maculis posticarum absentibus, sed alis posticis lineis undulosis tribus submarginalibus 
notatis, subtus maculis rufo-brunneis late ornatis. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Irazu and Rio Sucio (Rogers); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, 2000 
to 3000 feet (Champion). 
A small distinct species of limited range, allied to P. drymea, but with three 
indistinct submarginal bands of lunules on the secondaries, the innermost taking the 
place of the row of spots of P. drymea and P. subota. The markings of the secon- 
daries beneath are more distinct than in P. drymea; and the general tint is of a more 
russet hue. 
We have figured one of the types from Irazu, Costa Rica. 
P. nebulosa group. Spots of the primaries ferruginous. 
32. Phyciodes nebulosa, (Tab. XXII. fig. 13, 14.) 
Phyciodes nebulosa, Godm. & Salv. P. Z. S. 1878, p. 269°. 
Alis fuscis, anticis ferrugineo maculatis; posticis ad basin ferrugineo maculatis, fascia lunulosa submarginali 
notatis: subtus anticis ad basin flavidis ; posticis rosaceo-albidis, rufo-brunneo irroratis, macula magna 
irregulari mediam costam attingente rufo-brunnea.
