COBORISA.—PHALOE. 107 
A single example of this insect was sent; it agrees well with Mr. Butler’s type, the 
only difference being that the black band of the primaries is slightly narrower. This 
species is very close to H. fenestra.

Hab. GuateMALa!,—VENEZUELA? ; TRINIDAD (mus. D.). 
The only authority I have for including this species in our fauna is Boisduval’s; it 
therefore requires confirmation. 
2. Phaloe gaumeri, sp.n. (Tab. XI. figg. 4, 5.) 
Male. Primaries black, with a small spot at the base, two on the costal margin, and one in middle of the cell, 
bright carmine; a triangular patch extending from the base along the inner margin to near the middle 
and a wide central band from the costal margin to near the apex bright citron-yellow, beyond which 
nearer the apex are two hyaline bands, the first broken into spots extending to the anal angles; secon- 
daries bright citron-yellow, with the apex and outer margin broadly banded with black; a yellow spot 
at the apex and several minute spots on the outer margin near the anal angle: head and thorax black, 
thickly spotted with white and yellow dots, a yellowish band crosses the thorax near the base; abdomen 
dusky yellow, the last segment and the anus black; legs black and white; antennw black, slightly 
pectinated; palpi white, with the second joint black. The female differs from the male in its larger size, 
and by having all the yellow markings of the male creamy white, also in having a well-defined marginal 
row of whitish hyaline spots on the secondaries; the undersides of both male and female are the same as 
above. Expanse, 5 23, 9 232 inches. 
Hab. Mexico, Valladolid in Yucatan (Gaumer). 
Of this very beautiful species I have received two males and one female ; its nearest 
ally is P. cruenta. 
3. Phaloe verania, sp.n. (Tab. XI. fig. 7.) 
Male. Primaries deep black, a carmine spot on the costal margin, close to the base, a narrow semihyaline yellow 
band crosses from the middle of the costal margin to the inner margin near the apex; the band is almost 
white in the middle, beyond which near the apex is an elongated whitish spot crossed by a black nervule ; 
secondaries black, with a yellowish-white transverse band of three spots crossing near the apex from the costal 
to the outer margin, two white dots close to the anal angle ; the underside the same as above, except that 
the secondaries are streaked with bluish white from the base to nearly the middle: head and thorax black, 
thickly speckled with minute white spots; antenne black, rather deeply pectinated ; palpi black, white on 
the underside; abdomen black, banded with white; the anus, last segment, and the sides bright carmine 
on the underside, the white bands are much wider, and the last four segments are banded with carmine ;
