5. Mesene croceella. (Tab. XLII. figg. 25, 263, 2792.) 
Mesene croceella, Bates, Ent. Monthl. Mag. i. p. 204°.

(F. D. G. & O. 8.1), San Gerénimo (Hague, Champion); Nicaraeua, Chontales (Belt). 
‘This was also described by Mr. Bates from a single specimen, which was not in good 
condition, the fore legs being wanting, so that the sex cannot be determined by this 
character. Mr. Bates considered it to be a male, but from the shape of the wings we 
have no doubt it isa female. It is allied to M. rubella, but differs in the more saffron 
colour of the wings, the absence of any mark at the end of the cell of the primaries, and 
by the dusky colour of those wings beneath being restricted to the costa and the outer 
margins. We have now several specimens of this pretty species from Guatemala, and 
others from Nicaragua which only differ in being rather smaller. 
Found in second-growth woods (Champion). 
Eudule invaria (Druce, Biol. Centr.-Am. Lep.-Het. i. p. 137), a common Central- 
American moth, resembles I. croceella in size and colour. 
6. Mesene margaretta.

Mesene semiradiata, Feld. Reise d. Nov. Lep. p. 292, t. 87. ff. 27, 28°. 
Alis testaceo-rufis, anticis triente apicali nigro, albido radiato, posticis margine externo nigro, intus profunde 
serrato et albido notato; subtus ut supra sed alis pallidioribus, posticarum margine distincte radiato.

Hab. Mzxico, Cordova (Hedemann, Mus. Vindob., Riimeli) ; GuaATEMALA, Zapote 
(Champion); Honpuras!2; Panama, Calobre (Arcé *).—Conomia ?®. 
A widely ranging species, but everywhere scarce. Mr. Champion only took a single 
specimen in the forests near Zapote. 
A point of interest in this peculiarly marked species is its resemblance to a moth, 
Pseudomennis coccinea (Druce, Biol. Centr.-Am. Lep.-Het. i. p. 162, t. 14. f. 11), which 
is also found in Central America. 
7. Mesene leucopus, sp. n. 
Alis flavidis, marginibus externis latis, anticarum costa et apice fuscis; subtus omnino ut supra, cruribus 
anticis albidis. 
? mari similis, alarum marginibus fuscis angustioribus. 
Hab. Guaremata, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
Of this species Mr. Champion obtained a good series of specimens in Guatemala, 
where alone it has been found, in second-growth woods at an elevation of 3000 feet. 
It has a near ally in UM. stlaris of Nicaragua, but differs in its larger size and in having 
white instead of black fore legs.
