PIONIA. 77 
2. Pionia undulata, sp.n. (Tab. IX. fig. 3.) 
Primaries almost the same as in P. lycoides, but the fulvous bands are narrower ; secondaries hyaline, the outer 
margins slightly black: head, front of thorax, and tegule brown; the back of thorax and base of the 
abdomen black; abdomen brown, with the anal third black; antenne and palpi black; legs brownish 
black. Expanse 13 inch. 
Hab. Guatemata, Panzos (Champion). 
Of this species I have only received a single example, which differs considerably from 
P. lycoides. The wide fulvous band on the abdomen readily distinguishes it from that 
species. 
3. Pionia obtusa, sp. n. 
Male. Primaries fulvous, with the central black band narrow and almost broken into spots, the apical black 
spot much smaller than in P. lycoides; secondaries hyaline, with the costal margin pale brownish yellow, 
and a minute black spot at the apex: head and thorax brownish; abdomen with a central black band 
from the base to the anus, where it is broad and reaches the sides, the sides near the base and on the 
underside brownish yellow; antenne black, with the base brown ; palpi and legs all fulvous. The female 
slightly larger than the male, and with less black on the abdomen. Expanse, ¢ 13 inch, 2 17 inch. 
Hab. Guatemata, Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 feet, Torola (Champion). 
This species is allied to P. lycoides and P. undulata, from both of which it differs in 
many respects, and principally in having the abdomen, legs, and palpi brownish yellow 
instead of black as in those species. The basal third of the antenne also is brown. 
4, Pionia agnonides, sp. n. 
Primaries dark brownish yellow, with a V-shaped mark on the costal margins, and the apices black ; secondaries 
hyaline, the outer margins slightly shaded with black: head and thorax fulvous; abdomen and legs black. 
Expanse 14 inch. 
Hab. Nicaraava, Chontales (Belt, mus. D.). 
This specimen is in poor condition ; it was in one of the first collections sent by the 
late Mr. Belt to the late Mr. Hewitson, who kindly forwarded the moths to me. 
5. Pionia affinis, sp.n. (Tab. IX. fig. 4.) 
Primaries uniform brownish yellow, with the apices black ; secondaries blackish hyaline: head, thorax, and the 
sides of the abdomen the same colour as the primaries; antennex, palpi, and abdomen black. Expanse 
14 inch. 
Hab. Guatemata, Teleman (Champion). 
This species is allied to P. agnonides. 
6. Pionia calopteridia. 
Pionia calopteridia, Butl. Proc. Zool. Soc. 1878, p. 381’. 
Hab. Guaremata, Las Mercedes 3000 feet (Champion); Panama, Bugaba 800 to 
1500 feet (Champion).— VENEZUELA! ; LowER AMAZONS, Para !. 
The examples before me agree well in all respects with Mr. Butler’s type in the 
British Museum.
