118 HETEROCERA. 
1. Sallza ochrosterna. 
Sallea ochrosterna, Feld. Reise Nov. Lep. iv. t. 101. f. 10°. 
Hab. Mexico !, Jalapa (Hége). 
This species is well figured by Dr. Felder. I have only seen two specimens, a male 
and a female ; it appears to be a very rare insect. 
ARCTIA. 
Arctia, Schrank, Faun. Boic. ii. part 2, p. 152 (1802). 
This genus is very widely distributed over the globe, species being found throughout 
Europe, Asia, and North America. 
1. Arctia docta. 
Euprepia docta, Walk. Cat. ii. p. 592°. 
Arctia mexicana, Grote and Robinson, Ann. Lyc. New York, viii. p. 367, t. 13. f. 3”. 
Chelonia autholea, Boisd. Lep. Calif. p. 76 *. 
Arctia autholea, Stretch, Illust. of Zyg. and Bomb. N. Am. p. 74, t. 3. figg. 3, 4°, 
Hab. Norta America, California *4.—Mexico!?3%, Jalapa (Hége); Guatemata |, 
Panajachel 5000 feet, Purula, Balheu (Champion); Costa Rica, Cache, Irazu 6000 to 
7000 feet (Rogers, Van Patten). 
Upon comparing Mr. Grote’s type of A. mexicana with Walker’s specimen of A. docta 
in the British Museum, I find that they are identical. This species varies very much 
in both sexes: I have a very fine series of specimens before me; in some of them the 
dark markings of the primaries are quite small and almost obliterated, in others the 
primaries are almost black ; the secondaries of the females vary from red with a few 
black spots to having the outer half of the wing entirely black. In Mexico and Costa 
Rica this insect appears to be very common, but in Guatemala Mr. Champion obtained 
very few examples. 
2. Arctia eminens. 
Arctia eminens, H. Edwards, Papilio, iv. p. 59*.
