Hab. Mexico, Atoyac (H H. Smith & Schumann), Paso de San Juan in Vera Cruz 

 {coll. Schaus) ; Guatemala, Polochic Valley (F. D. G. & 0. #.), Panima in Vera Paz 

 (Champion) ; Honduras ( Wittkugel, in mm. Staudinger) ; Nicaragua, Chontales {Belt) ; 

 Costa Eica (Gabb 2 ); Panama, Chiriqui 3 (mus. Staudinger), Bugaba (Arce), Panama 

 city (J". J. Walker). — South America to Paraguay. 



Mr. H. H. Smith procured us a long series of this species from Atoyac in Vera 

 Cruz, and we also possess numerous specimens from more southern localities ; upwards 

 of fifty of these are males and only four females ; the examples, too, that 

 Dr. Staudinger has sent us for examination are all males. We are by no means 

 sure that the female insect figured by Htibner belongs to the same species. For the 

 genitalia of the male, see Tab. XCIII. fig. 31. 



2. Zariaspes mythecus, sp. n. (Tab. XCIII. figg. 32-34, j ; 35, 36, 2 .) 



Alis nitide ocbraceis, anticis costa apicem versus, margine externo et interno lineaque angusta discocellulari, 

 nigro-fascis, costa posticarum quoque coloris ejusdem : subtus ochraceo-flavis, anticis plaga ad basin 

 nigro-fusca. 



$ . Alis fulvis, anticis costa apicem versus, margine externo et interno, fascia interrupta a basi per cellulam 

 extendente, et macula triangulari ultra earn, nigro-fuscis ; posticis marginibus omnibus coloris ejusdem : 

 subtus flavis, anticis fascia mediana a basi ad cellulae finem, interdum interrupta, et macula ad angulum 

 analem f uscis, area inter eas ochraceo tinctis. 



Hab. Mexico, Acapulco, Dos Arroyos, E. Papagaio, Acaguizotla, all in Guerrero 

 (H. H. Smith). 



Our collection contains eight males and four females of this pretty species, captured 

 by Mr. H. H. Smith in Western Mexico, where it inhabits the low land. Though the 

 sexes are so dissimilar in colour, we have no hesitation in placing them together, both 

 males and females having been obtained in three out of the four localities where the 

 insect was met with. 



Z. mythecus is a close ally of Z. mys (Hiibn.), but is much larger and the males are 

 differently coloured ; the females, however, of the two forms are very similar. For the 

 genitalia of the male, see Tab. XCIII. fig. 34. 



VI. Antennae short, with a stout or moderately stout club, terminating in a short 

 crook ; terminal joint of the palpi short ; hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs ; 

 primaries of the male with or without a brand, the latter, when presents 

 moderately developed or inconspicuous. 



POANOPSIS, gen. nov. 

 We take Pamphila puxillius, Mab., from Mexico, as the type of this genus. In the
