To the localities given, add : — Costa Eica, Santa Clara Valley (Zurcher). 



BjEOTIS (I. p. 452). 

 Baeotis zonata (I. p. 453). 



To the localities given, add : — Mexico, Rincon, A toyac ( U. H. Smith), Jalapa

2. Basotis nessea. (Tab. CX. figg. n, 12, <$ .) 



Baotis nescea, Godm. & Salv. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) iii. p. 356 (<y) (1889) \ 



Alis pallide flavis, anticis dimidio distali, eosta et linea obliqua ad basin, nigricantibus, limbo marginali maculis 

 duabus flavis, una subapicali, secunda ad angulum analem, macula rubra ad costse medium ; posticis margine 

 externo late nigricante (linea flava et altera exteriore plumbea includente) cum linea basali margini interno 

 subparalleli conjuncta : subtus ut supra, sed maculis et lineis submarginalibus majoribus, lineis basalibus 

 subobsoletis. 



Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Trbtsch, in mus. Staudinger l ). 



Dr. Staudinger has submitted to us the single male specimen here figured and 

 described. It has no near allies known to us, but somewhat resembles B. f elite, Hew. 

 The red spot, however, on the costa of the primaries is quite characteristic. 



METACHARIS (I. p. 453). 



2. Metacharis (?) melucina. 



Metacharis (?) melucina, Staud. Exot. Schmett. p, 256, t. 91 1 (erythomelas $ , nee $ ). 



Alis nigris, anticis plaga magna infra venam medianam, ultra cellulam et ad marginem internum extendente, 

 cum maculis duabus in cellula confluentibus, aurantiis ; posticis margine costali albo, litura a basi 

 (extrorsum latiore) haud ad marginem externum extendente aurantia, anticis et posticis linea angusta 

 nitente plumbea submarginali : subtus anticis fuscis, area infra venam medianam pallide ochracea, costa 

 et maculis duabus (una costali ultra cellulum, secunda majore exteriore) maculisque quibusdam angulum 

 analem versus, albis ; posticis albis, nigro maculatis. 



Hab. Panama, Chiriqui ] (Ribbe, ex Staudinger). — Colombia, San Pablo, Rio 

 San Juan 1 . 



Dr. Staudinger has sent us a male of this species from Chiriqui, and two others of 

 the same sex from the Rio San Juan, under the above name, an example from the 

 latter locality having been figured by him as M. erythromelas (Sepp). It is a close ally 

 of that insect, which inhabits the Amazon Valley, but differs in having the orange 

 patch on both wings more extended. The Chiriqui specimen, from which the above 

 description is taken, differs again from the southern insects in having two orange spots 

 in the cell confluent with the discal patch. These species have been placed by 

 Dr. Staudinger doubtfully in Metacharis, from which they will probably have to be 

 removed. The two insects have very much the facies of Lemonias ernylius (Cram.).
