92 HETEROCERA. 
inner margin, reaching the anal angle, where it is joined by a narrow band from the apex, all pale pinkish 
brown ; near the base are several small yellow spots bordered with red, a narrow broken red line extending 
from the apex to the anal angle, and a submarginal row of very minute brownish spots; secondaries bright 
pink: head and front of thorax bright yellow; abdomen red; the anus and underside yellowish white ; 
antenne black, with the tips white; legs yellow above, white on the underside. Expanse 13 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Ribbe, mus. Staudinger, Champion). 
Two examples. The figure is taken from the one in Dr. Staudinger’s collection; the 
other, obtained by Mr. Champion, is much faded and worn, but has indications of a 
brown marking at the anal angle of the secondaries. In other respects the specimens 
agree fairly well, and J have no doubt that they are referable to the same species.

Hab. Norta Americal.—Mexico? (Boucard, mus. D.). 
A single specimen from Mexico, agreeing well with North-American specimens, is in 
my collection. 
2. Halisidota cinctipes.

Hab. Norta America!.—Mexico, Jalapa (Hoge), State of Vera Cruz (Schaus) ?; 
Guatemala, Las Mercedes (Champion).—CuBa!; VENEZUELA. 
This species is closely allied to the preceding, but clearly distinct. 
3. Halisidota atra, sp.n. (Tab. IX. fig. 26.) 
Primaries sooty black, with the markings closely resembling those of H. cinctipes, but wanting the marginal 
black line of spots; secondaries uniform brownish black: head, thorax, and abdomen brownish black; 
antenng black; the underside of the thorax yellowish. Expanse 12 inch. 
Hab. Guatemaua, Las Mercedes (Champion). 
Of this species I have three specimens before me; they seem to vary to some extent 
in the bands and spots of the primaries. The female is rather larger than the male, 
and much lighter in colour.
