EHOPALOCEEA. 735 



Since our description of T. consus was published we have seen the type of T. mega- 

 lurus, Mab., from Colombia l , and find that the two insects do not differ ; the above 

 correction in the synonymy is therefore necessary (cf. antea, p. 635). 



THYMELE (II. p. 311). 



Thymele fulgerator (II. pp. 311, 635). 



GonUoba azul, Keak. Proc. Acad. Phil. 1866, p. 340 8 . 



To the localities given, add : — Mexico, Vera Cruz 8 ; Honduras, San Pedro Sula 

 (WittJcugel) ; Nicaragua, Matagalpa (Richardson). 



1 (a). Thymele polias, s P . n. (Tab. cxil. figg. 9, 10, ? .) 



2 . Alis fuscis, anticis ad basin, posticis dimidio interiore et corpore supra, pilis viridi-griseis vestitis ; anticis 

 fascia obliqua lata, venis divisa, a costse medio prope angulum analem extendente, albo-hyalina : subtus 

 ut supra, sed anticis margine interno albidis, regione costali anticarum, et dimidio interno posticarum 

 dense, squamis pallide ochraceis tectis ; corpore subtus coloris ejusdem ; anticis ad fasciae finem et posticis 

 ad apieem anguste albo ciliatis. 



Hah. Panama, Chiriqui (mus. Staudinger). 



The single female Dr. Staudinger has sent us for examination is all we know of this 

 insect. It appears to be a close ally of T. phrynicus (Hew.), from the corresponding 

 sex of which it differs in the white band of the primaries being less iridescent and 

 almost reaching the outer margin ; the cilia only of the secondaries are narrowly 

 whitish ; and the inner margin of the primaries is white beneath. 



Thymele aulestes (II. p. 315). 



To the localities given, add: — Honduras, San Pedro Sula (WittJcugel). 



NASCUS (II. p. 320). 



NaSCUS phoCUS (II. p. 320). (Tab. CXIL figg. 11, 12, $ , var.) 

 Dr. Staudinger has sent us a female of this insect from Chiriqui, which differs 

 from our other specimens of the same sex in having the base of the primaries and 

 the greater part of the secondaries clothed with reddish hairs (in this respect resembling 

 some of our more brightly-coloured males); the secondaries, too, have the outer 

 portion uniformly dark beneath, with a projecting streak at the end of the cell. 

 Our figure of the insect is taken from this example. 



2. Nascus cous. 



Telegonus cous, Moschl. Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, 1878, p. 205 (<J) \ 

 Nascus eugamon, antea, ii. p. 321, t. 78. ff. 20, 21 2 . 



To the localities given, add: — Panama, Chiriqui (Trbtsch, ex Staudinger). — Venezuela 1 .
