much longer and broader primaries, and its altogether more robust appearance; the 
species described by Walker as Josia penetrata (=Josiomorpha longivitta, Feld.) is the 
type of the genus.

Josiomorpha longwitta, Feld. Reise Nov. Lep. t. 104. f. 12, Index, p. 6°; Stretch, Cist. Ent. ii. 
p. 17. ; 
Hab. Mexico (Sallé), Orizaba (Hedemann?), Cordova (Riimeli); Guatemana }, 
Calderas, San Gerénimo, Senahu (Champion). 
In Guatemala this, species appears to be pretty common ; from Mexico only a single 
male specimen has been received. 
| 2. Josiomorpha gigantea, sp. n. 
Closely allied to J. penetrata, Walk., but distinguished as follows:—the primaries have the yellow band 
starting from the middle of the wing close to the base instead of from the costal margin as in J. penetrata, 
and the edge of the costal margin is dark yellow instead of black; the secondaries have the costal margin 
widely banded with black instead of yellow; the head, collar, and tegule are bright orange instead of 
black ; abdomen black with a yellow line on each side; legs black. Expanse, ¢ and 9, 2 inches. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (Rogers). 
This very distinct species seems to be peculiar to Costa Rica. 
FLAVINIA. 
Flavinia, Walker, Cat. ii. p. 869. 
This genus now has a large number of species placed in it, all of which are from the 
Neotropical Region ; it is well represented in our country. 
1. Flavinia osiris. 
Phalena osiris, Cram. Pap. Exot. ii. t. 115. f. E’. 
Flavinia (Chrysauge) osiris, Walk. Cat. ii. p. 370”. 
Hab. Costa Rica (Van Patten, mus. D.).—CoLomBta (mus. D.) ; Gutana, Surinam 12. 
The single individual received from Costa Rica agrees well with Cramer’s figure, and 
also with other specimens from Colombia in my own collection.
