COSMOSOMA. 59 
bright orange-yellow and the antenne simple. This species, I am informed by Mr. 
Champion, is common near the Volcano of Chiriqui; but he only met with two 
examples of it in Guatemala. 
2. Cosmosoma confine. 
Lemocharis confinis, Herrich-Schiffer, Samml. aussereur. Schmett. f. 255. 
Glaucopis remota, Walk. Cat. i. p. 170°. 
Cosmosoma confine, But]. Journ. Linn. Soc., Zool. xii. p. 387 *. 
Hab. GuatEMALA (Boucard, mus. D.)—CotomBia ; EcuapoR; VENEZUELA }?. 
A single example of this insect was brought from Guatemala by Mons. Boucard, 
agreeing in all respects with those in my collection from South America. 
8. Cosmosoma elegans, sp. n. (Tab. VII. fig. 13.) 
Primaries and secondaries hyaline; the costal margin, the base, and part of the inner margin of primaries 
yellow, the apex and outer margin black, the outer and inner margins of the secondaries narrowly 
bordered with black: the head, antennsx, and palpi black ; thorax and abdomen yellow, striped and banded 
with black and blue spots; legs yellow and black. Expanse 1 inch. 
Hab. Guatemata, Panima, Cubilguitz (Champion) ; Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
This very pretty little species is unlike any other with which I am acquainted. 
4, Cosmosoma saron, sp.n. (Tab. VII. fig. 14.) 
Primaries yellowish hyaline, the costal margin yellow, the apex, outer and inner margin brownish black, the 
veins black ; secondaries hyaline, the outer margin narrowly banded with black: the front of head dirty 
white; palpi and antenne black ; the back of head and the thorax black, with metallic bluish-green spots ; 
abdomen black, shot with green; legs black. Expanse 17 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (4760e). 
Of this very distinct species I have only received a single example, the abdomen of 
which is very flattened, making it impossible to tell with certainty as to its markings. 
5. Cosmosoma advena, sp.n. (Tab. VII. fig. 15.) 
Primaries and secondaries hyaline, the apex and outer margins broadly banded with black ; the front of head, 
palpi, and antenne black ; the back of head, thorax, and sides of the abdomen nearly to the anus bright 
orange-red, the anus and a central band black; legs brownish black. Expanse 1} inch, 
Hab. Guatemata, San Gerénimo, Senahu (Champion). 
The example from San Gerdnimo is larger than that from Senahu, and not quite so 
bright in colour; it is most nearly allied to C. auge, Linn. 
6. Cosmosoma myrrha, sp.n. (Tab. VII. fig. 10.) 
Primaries and secondaries hyaline from the base to just beyond the cell, the apex, outer and inner margins 
broadly black ; the thorax and base of the primaries bright crange-yellow: the head, antenne, and palpi 
black ; abdomen black, the anus bright blue ; legs wanting. Expanse 1 inch. 
Hab. Guatemara, San Juan in Vera Paz (Champion). 
Of this beautiful little insect, I have only received a single example. At first sight 
it reminds one of Thrinacia sanguinea ; but it is clearly a Cosmosoma.
