2. Calydna hegias. 
Calydna hegias, R. Feld. Verh. k.-k. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, 1869, p- 468°. 
Alis anthracinis, anticis macula ad cellule finem tetragona, punctoque supra eam semihyalinis, posticis macula 
fascieformi per cellule finem irregulariter excisa ejusdem coloris, ciliis albis nigro intermixtis, lineola 
tenuissima submarginali cana, extra eam atomis variis ejusdem coloris, posticarum costa bitriente basali 
ferruginea ; subtus dilutioribus maculis nigris bene notatis, maculis semihyalinis sicut supra. 
 alis fuscis, maculis nigrescentibus fulvo marginatis undique notatis, maculis semihyalinis sicut in mare sed 
multo minoribus ; subtus ut supra. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Rémeli), Oaxaca (Fenochio), Yucatan (Hedemann), Valla- 
dolid in Yucatan (Gawmer) ; Guatemana, Vera Paz (Hague), San Gerénimo, Cubulco 
(Champion); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Rudolph Felder described this species from Yucatan specimens!, whence we also have 
an example which agrees with others from Mexico, and a large series of both sexes 
from Guatemala, where Mr. Champion found it in abundance in the second-growth 
woods on the slopes of the hills near San Gerénimo. We have little doubt that we 
have rightly named our specimens. The only point of discrepancy is as regards size. 
Felder says that C. hegias is a little larger than C. hiria; but our specimens are 
decidedly smaller. C. hiria, however, is not the species most nearly allied to that we 
are now considering, for it can with difficulty be distinguished from C. sternula as we 
understand that species; in the latter, however, there is a small spot in the cell of the 
primaries, and two others on the outer half of the costa. This is but a slight difference, 
but constant so far as we can see. 
3. Calydna sinuata. 
Calydna sinuata, R. Feld. Verh. k.-k. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, 1869, p. 468°. 
“« Preecedenti (C’. hegias) affinis, sed tertia parte fere minor, alis anticis apice subfalcato, margine externo denti- 
culato, medio convexo, posticis inter venam subcostalem et ramum medianum tertium sat profunde 
sinuatis, denticulatis, supra omnibus obscure cinereis, ciliis sordide albescenti intersectis, striga ante- 
ciliari, fasciolis basalibus, fascia discali flexuosa alteraque submarginali maculari extus lineolis albo- 
cinereis cinctis nigricantibus, atomis albo-cinereis limitatis, anticarum macula ad cellule extimum, 
punctis duobus supra unoque pone eam et quarto supra venam internam, posticarum macula fascisformi 
lacerata ante medium hyalinis, atro marginatis, subtus omnibus pallidioribus, maculis et fasciis multo 
saturatioribus.” 
Hab. Mexico, Atayac (Hedemann’). 
We have never seen specimens of this species. 
SAROTA. 
Helicopis, Sect. 2 (Sarota), Westwood, Gen. Diurn. Lep. p. 424 (1851). 
We recognize two sections of this genus, one represented by S. chrysus, a species 
of wide range, as will be seen below; the other by 8. gyas. The position of the former 
species has long been a matter of doubt ; it was originally placed by Westwood in a 
section of Helicopis, whence it was removed to Anteros by Mr. Bates. The densely 
hairy character of the front legs of the males of all the species of these two genera has
