1. Chrysocale magnifica. (Tab. XII. fig. 10.) 
Chrysocale magnifica, Walk. Cat. xxxi. p. 96*; Butler, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1877, p. 325, t. 8. figg. J, 2. 
Hab. Panama, Volean de Chiriqui (Zrétsch, mus. Staudinger).—Co.omBtA, Bogota? ; 
Ecuapor, Sarayacu (Buckley, mus. D.). 
I have only seen a single example of this fine insect from our country; it agrees in 
every respect with those sent me from Ecuador. For the pleasure of adding it to our 
fauna I am indebted to the kindness of Dr. Staudinger, who forwarded me his example 
for determination. The figure is taken from his specimen. 
APISTOSIA. 
Apistosia, Hubner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 1638. 
This genus is closely allied to Antona, Walk. 
1. Apistosia judas. 
Apistosia judas, Hiibn. Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 163. no. 1693; Zutr. erst. Hund. p. 13, figg. 51, 52; 
Walk. Cat. ii. p. 478‘; Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1877, p. 326 * 
Hab. Guaremata 2; Honpuras (Dyson)'?; Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt); Panama, 
Bugaba (Champion). 
I have only received two examples of this insect; it differs from all the nearly allied 
forms in having the head and thorax bright red. 
2. Apistosia terminalis. 
Apistosia terminalis, Walk. Cat. ii. p. 478°; Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1877, p. 326’. 
Hab. Mexico (Doubleday) } *. 
I have not received any specimens from Mexico that quite agree with this species, 
though some are very nearly allied. 
3. Apistosia tenebrosa, sp. n. 
Closely allied to A. judas, Hiibn.; the primaries are browner and the secondaries have a dark blue gloss: head 
and front of thorax orange-yellow, as in A. judas, but the tegule are black instead of yellow; anus 
yellow ; abdomen blue-black ; antennz and legs black. Expanse 132 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hége). 
A specimen of this insect is in the British Museum collection under the name of 
A. tenebrosa, Walk. ; but I cannot find that it was ever described by that author. 
Although closely allied to A. judas it may at once be distinguished from that species by 
the tegule being black and the anus yellow, the reverse being the case in A. judas. 
4. Apistosia metella, sp.n. (Tab. XII. fig. 6.) 
Primaries glossy bronze-green ; secondaries dark bluish-black, with a central semihyaline streak: head and 
collar orange ; thorax, tegule, and abdomen greenish-black, the underside of the abdomen bright orange ; 
antenne and legs black. Expanse 1? inch. 
Hab. Guaremaa, Capetillo (Champion).
