LITHOSIA. 131 
1. Lithosia mexicana, sp.n. (Tab. XIII. figg. 23, 32.) 
Male. Primaries grey, the costal and inner margins narrowly edged with light yellow, a central narrow yellow 
band extends from the base to the outer margin near the apex, and a second yellow streak from the anal 
angle to about the middle of the wing; secondaries cream-colour, with the costal margin streaked with 
grey: head, thorax, and abdomen brownish grey; antenne black; the tegule pale red; legs brown. 
The female differs from the male in its larger size and grey hind wings. Expanse, ¢ #, 91 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Riimeli), State of Durango (forrer); GuatTemMaLa, San Ger6é- 
nimo, Pantaleon 1700 feet (Champion). 
In Mexico and Guatemala this little species appears to be pretty common; from the 
former country I have received a considerable number of specimens, but all in poor 
condition. The figures are from Guatemalan examples. 
2. Lithosia laudamia, sp. n. (Tab. XIII. fig. 4, 2.) 
Male. Primaries brownish grey, with a narrow central streak and the inner margin pale yellow; secondaries 
yellow, broadly banded with greyish brown at the apex: head and front of the thorax pale yellow, the 
thorax pinkish yellow; abdomen yellow; antennz black; legs brownish yellow. Expanse 1 inch. 
Hab. GuatuMa.a, Senahu (Champion); Costa Rica, Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet, Cache 
(Rogers); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
3. Lithosia alba, sp. n. 
Primaries and secondaries uniform silky white, slightly tinged with pale yellow on the costal margin of the 
primaries: head, thorax, and abdomen brownish white; antenne white from the base to about the 
middle, from the middle to the tip black; legs pale brown. Expanse # inch. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion). 
Mr. Champion only obtained a single example of this little species, differing from all 
others that I have seen. 
4, Lithosia lutea, sp. n. 
Primaries yellowish white; secondaries pale brownish drab, the fringe rather lighter: head, thorax, and 
abdomen brownish yellow; antenne black; the legs brown; the underside of both wings dark brown. 
Expanse 1 inch. 
Hab. Guatemata, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
Only two examples of this distinct species were obtained by Mr. Champion. 
5. Lithosia intermedia, sp. n. 
Primaries and secondaries uniform glossy cream-colour, slightly darker at the base of both wings: head, 
thorax, and abdomen dark cream-colour; antenne black; legs brownish white; the underside of both 
wings pale brownish yellow. Expanse 1,4, inch. 
Hab. Mxxico, Cordova (Riimelt). 
This insect is allied to the preceding species, from which it is easily distinguished 
by its much paler and more glossy primaries, and the secondaries being cream-colour 
instead of brownish drab. Only a single example was sent.
