appear to be differences in the male genitalia — not, however, available for generic 

 definition. 



Two species occur within our limits, one of which has a wide South-American 

 range ; the other is only known to us from a single specimen from Chiriqui. 



1. Cyclosaemia anastomosis. (Tab. LXXXIV. figg. 4, 5, 6 s .) 



Cycloscemia anastomosis, Mab. Pet. Nouv. Ent. ii. p. 230 (15 May, 1878). 

 Leuchochitonia lyrcaa, Hew. Ent. Monthly Mag. xv. p. 151 (Dec. 1878). 



Alis brunneis, fasciis duabus communibus saturatioribus, una submarginali, altera discali; anticis macula 

 rotunda nigra ad cellulse finem falvo circumcincta et punctis duobus glaucis inclusis ; postieis fascia 

 altera obscura per cellulam : subtus omnino pallidioribus, fasciis obscuris angustioribus, in postieis macu- 

 losis ; postieis ad marginem internum glaucis ; palpis subtus albidis fusco intermixes, antennis fuscis. 



2 mari similis. 



Hal. Mexico, Atoyac (H.H.Smith); Guatemala, Zapote, Chiacam (Champion), 

 Polochic Valley (F. H. G. & 0. S.); Nicaeagua, Chontales (Belt); Panama, Bugaba 

 (Champion), Chiriqui (Trotsch, in mus. Staudinger), Veraguas (Arce). — Amazons 

 Valley; Beazil. 



M. Mabille's description of Cyclosoemia anastomosis has a few months' priority over 

 Hewitson's posthumous description of L. lyrcaea. The type of the latter, the origin of 

 which is not recorded, agrees closely with a specimen of the former from Chiriqui 

 named by M. Mabille. 



C. anastomosis has a wide range, extending from the lowlands of the Mexican State 

 of Vera Cruz through the whole of Central America to the Amazons Valley and Brazil. 

 In the glaucous colour of the inner margin of the secondaries beneath it agrees with 

 Nisoniades pelarge. 



The tegumen of the male genitalia terminates in a short blunt hook : the harpes end 

 in two rods bent towards each other like the arms of a pair of forceps ; the lower rod 

 is the longer and more curved. (See Tab. LXXXIV. fig. 6.) 



2. Cyclosaemia phidyle, sp. n. (Tab. LXXXIV. figg. 7,8?.) 



Alis brunneis, anticis medialiter pallidioribus, fascia discali ad costam evanescente iusco-brunnea, macula 

 rotunda nigra ad cellulae finem, punctis tribus subapicalibus in linea recta semihyalinis nigro circum- 

 cinctis ; postieis margine externo et fasciis duabus transversis fuscis, una discali, altera per cellulam : 

 subtus saturate brunneis ; anticis dimidio apicali pallide fulvis, punctis semihyalinis ut supra sed macula 

 oellulari nigra nulla ; palpis brunneis, antennis nigricantibus. 



Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 



The single specimen of this well-marked species which we possess is apparently a 

 female, and was taken by Mr. Champion on the slopes of the Volcano of Chiriqui at an 

 elevation of about 5000 feet above the sea.
