128 HETEROCERA. 
1. Pyralopsis homalochroa. 
Pyralopsis homalochroa, Feld. loc. cit.1; Boisd. Lép. Guat. p. 94’. 
Hab. GuateMata ! 2, 
I have not seen an example of this species, said to be rather common in Guatemala. 
MESENOCHROA*. 
Mesenochroa, Felder, Reise Nov. Lep. iv. t. 105. fig. 80, Index, p. 6. 
This genus is very closely allied to Pyralopsis, and is figured by Dr. Felder on the 
same plate; in fact I think it is exceedingly doubtful if they are distinct. 
1. Mesenochroa guatemalteca. 
Mesenochroa guatemalteca, Feld. Reise Nov. Lep. iv. t. 105. f. 30°. 
Pyralopsis guatemalteca, Boisd. Lép. Guat. p. 94:?. 
Hab. Guatemata! 2, Purula (Champion). 
Of this pretty little species Mr. Champion obtained but few examples; he only met 
with it at Purula. Boisduval states it to be common in Guatemala. 
2. Mesenochroa rogersi, sp.n. (Tab. XII. fig. 25.) 
Allied to M. guatemalteca, Feld. Primaries orange-red, the black spots and streaks very similar, but the spots 
are considerably larger, an indistinct band of black spots crossing the middle of the wing from the costal 
to the inner margin ; secondaries orange-red, with a wide bluish-black streak from the base along the 
abdominal margin, the outer row of black streaks larger than they are in M. guatemalteca: head, 
antenne, and palpi black ; thorax orange; abdomen black, banded with orange; legs black. Expanse 
1} inch. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (Rogers). 
This beautiful species is closely allied to WM. guatemalteca, Feld., from which it is 
readily distinguished by its much duller colour and blacker markings on both wings. 
It seems to be confined to Costa Rica, as I have no evidence of its occurrence in any 
other locality. 
JOSIODES. 
Josiodes, Felder, Reise Nov. Lep. t. 106. f. 28, Index, p. 5. 
Josioides, Butler, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1877, p. 331. 
Dr. Felder founded this genus upon an Amazonian species (J. batest). 
1. Josiodes distincta. 
Josiodes distincta, H. Edwards, Papilio, iv. p. 14°. 
Hab. Mexico, State of Vera Cruz (Schaus)}. 
This species is quite unknown to me. 
* The name of this genus is erroneously given as Mesenochia on the Plate.
