206 RHOPALOCERA. 
Hab. Guatemaia, Las Nubes (0. 8.1). 
We only know this species from a single specimen taken by Salvin at the Hacienda 
of Las Nubes, on the slopes of the Cerro Zunil, in February 1874. Mr. Champion, 
though for some time in that locality, did not meet with it. It is a peculiar species, 
with no near ally in Central America. The rufous-brown spot on the secondaries 
beneath suggests a relationship with the P. atronia group. 
The type is now figured. 
P. fulgora group. Primaries crossed with a conspicuous tawny band. 
33. Phyciodes fulgora. (Tab. XXII. fig. 15, 16.) 
Phyciodes fulgora, Godm. & Saly. Ann. & Mag. N. H. ser. 5, ii. p. 261°. 
Alis valde elongatis, fuscis, anticis macula ad cellule finem, altera magna infra eam et tertia magna costam attin- 
gente aliquando secunde conjuncta late fulvis ; posticis fasciis tribus submarginalibus notatis, intima lata, 
aliis angustis undulosis: subtus anticis ferrugineis, posticis ochraceis, omnibus fusco variegatis. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Irazu, Cache, and Rio Sucio (Rogers). 
Of this fine species the only specimens we have seen are those taken by Mr. Rogers 
in Costa Rica, one of which we now figure. 
34. Phyciodes crithona. (Tab. XXII. figg. 17, 18.) 
Melitea crithona, Salv. Ann. & Mag. N. H. ser. 4, vii. p. 415+. 
Phyciodes crithona, Butl. & Druce, P. Z. S. 1874, p. 3482. 
Alis fuscis, anticis fascia lata subapicali transversa venis divisa et macula ad angulum analem lete fulvis; 
posticis lineis tribus angustis submarginalibus notatis: subtus anticis rufo-fuscis fulvo maculatis, posticis 
rufis griseo marmoratis. 
2. Mari similis, sed major et fascia anticarum fulva latiore. 
Hab. Costa Rica (Van Patten), Cache (Rogers) ; Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Areé }, 
Champion). 
This species was described from specimens sent us from Chiriqui by our collector 
E. Arcé}. It seems to be common in that district, as Mr. Champion has recently found 
it in abundance. From Costa Rica we have only three examples, showing its greater 
rarity in that country. It has no near allies that we are aware of, though in general 
appearance it is not unlike P. Sulviplaga. 
One of the types from Chiriqui is figured. 
b'. Costal half of secondaries covered above with dull sericeous scales; sexes dissimilar. 
35. Phyciodes atronia. (Tab. XXII. figg. 19, 203, 212.) 
Melitea atronia, Bates, Ent. Monthl. Mag. iii. p. 183°.

Alis fuscis, anticis indistincte rufo punctatis, posticis area dimidio costali sericeo-brunnea unicolori, dimidio 
anali lineis submarginalibus obsoletis notato; subtus anticis fuscis parte apicali indistincte punctatis
