LEPTIDULE.—NOLA. 139 
2. Leptidule medea, sp. n. (Tab. XIII. fig. 12.) 
Primaries pale ochreous, with a large dark central spot of the same colour; secondaries yellowish hyaline, 
darkest round the outer margins: head, thorax, abdomen, and legs pale yellow; antenne black; palpi 
yellow, very minute. Expanse 13 inch. 
Hab. Guatemata, Panzos, Teleman (Champion); Costa Rica, Irazu (Rogers). 
The specimen from Costa Rica is rather smaller than those from Guatemala, the 
size of the dark-coloured spot on the primaries being considerably less.

1. Autoceras (?) phelina, sp. n. (Melania phelina, Tab. XIII. fig. 13.) 
Primaries creamy white, thickly covered with black dots, one row along the costal margin, one in the middle,. 
and a third along the inner margin, the fringe from the apex to the anal angle pale yellow; secondaries 
pale yellow, a black spot on the costal margin close to the apex: head, thorax, and abdomen yellowish 
white; antenne and legs black. Expanse ? inch. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
This species closely resembles Autoceras punctigera, Felder. I do not feel quite sure 
that it belongs to that genus, not having any specimens for comparison. Only a single 
example was obtained by Mr. Champion. 
NOLA. 
Nola, Leach in Samouelle, Ent. Comp. p. 254 (1819). 
The species of this genus are very widely distributed over the globe, but they are 
difficult to obtain. I have very little doubt that when sufficient material has been 
received, it will be possible to arrange them more satisfactorily than at present. 
1. Nola patella, sp. n. (Tab. XIII. fig. 14.) 
Primaries greyish white, shaded with brown, and thickly spotted with dark brown patches and markings of a 
very uneven character, more easily figured than described; secondaries brownish white, the margin 
narrowly bordered with brown near the apex : head, thorax, and abdomen greyish white ; antenne brown. 
Expanse ? inch. 
Hab. Mexico, State of Durango (Forrer), Jalapa (Hoge), Cordova (Rimeli). 
This insect seems to be rather common in Mexico. It varies slightly in the ground- 
colour of the primaries, some specimens being much browner than others. 
2. Nola philodina, sp. n. (Tab. XIII. fig. 15.) 
Primaries brownish white, thickly banded with brown spots and indistinct lines ; secondaries creamy white 
head, thorax, and abdomen brownish white; antennse brown. Expanse 7 inch. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet, Rio Sucio (Rogers).
