the secondaries from the inner margin to the central portion of the wing, leaving the 

 costa and outer margin fuscous. 



The male genitalia resemble those of C. callipetes. We figure a specimen from 

 Cache, Costa Rica. 



5. Carrhenes canescens. (Tab. LXXXV. figg. 29, 30 <? .) 



Leucochitonea canescens, R. Feld. Verh. z.-b. Ges. Wien, 1869, p. 476 \ 



Similis praecedentibus, sed alis pallidioribus, maculis semihyalinis minutis ; anticis maculis fuscis magis obviis : 

 subtus omnino pallidis, maculis valde irregularibus.

Rudolph Felder described this species from specimens obtained by Hedemann at 

 Potrero, in the Mexican State of Vera Cruz 1 . We have many examples from the same 

 district and from various parts of Central America, where it appears to be the most 

 abundant species of the genus. Its range in altitude extends from near the sea-level 

 to a height of 3000 to 4000 feet in the mountains. The male genitalia resemble those 

 of C. callipetes. 



We figure a male specimen from Atoyac, Vera Cruz. 



6. Carrhenes leada. (Tab. LXXXV. figg. 31, 32 s .) 



Achlyodes leada, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1870, p. 516 \ 



G. canescenti persimilis et forsan vix diversus ; aiiticis medialiter canescentibus, ad basin et ad apicem distincte 

 fuscescentibus ; posticis quoque pallidioribus. 



Hab. Costa Rica, Cache, Irazu (Bogers).— Colombia ; Venezuela l ; Amazons ; 

 Beazil; Pakaguay. 



It is questionable if this species is distinct from C. canescens, as all the main features 

 correspond. C. leada, however, has the central portion of the primaries much paler, 

 the base and apex being dark, giving the insect a rather different facies. Its range, 

 too, extends much further southwards. 



The type from Venezuela described by Mr. Butler 1 being in poor condition hardly 

 shows the characters so well as fresher specimens ; we therefore figure a male 

 specimen from Cache, Costa Rica. 



The male genitalia are like those of C. canescens and C. callipetes.
