FLAVINIA.—SCAPTIA. . 151 
This common species varies very considerably, both in size and in the width of the 
black band crossing the primaries ; in several female examples this band is quite narrow, 
notched in the middle, and does not reach the black outer margin. 
3. Flavinia intercepta. (Tab. XIV. fig. 8.) 
Flavinia (Chrysauge) intercepta, Walk. Cat. ii. p. 3727. 
Xanthyris adunca, Boisd. Lép. Guat. p. 93 *. 
Hab. Mexico; British Honpuras!, R. Sarstoon (Blancaneaux), Corosal (Roe, 
amus. D.); ? Nicaraaua 2.—? Cotomsta, Bogota 2. 
Through the kindness of M. C. Oberthiir I have been enabled to compare the type of 
Boisduval’s Xanthyris adunca with that of Walker's species; without doubt they 
Tepresent one and the same species. Boisduval’s type is labelled “ Mexico,” although 
he gives “ Nicaragua and Colombia” in his description. 
4. Flavinia postica. 
Chrysauge postica, Walk. Cat. ii. p. 371°. 
Hab. Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt).—VEnEZUELA 1. — 
Only a single specimen of this species was obtained in Nicaragua; it agrees well 
‘with Walker’s type from Venezuela. 
5. Flavinia velata, sp.n. (Tab. XIV. fig. 9.) 
Primaries citron-yellow, the costal, outer, and inner margins broadly bordered with black, an almost central 
black band crosses the wing from the costal margin to the anal angle; secondaries citron-yellow, all the 
margins narrowly bordered with black: head, thorax, and abdomen black on the upper side, yellowish 
beneath ; antenne and legs black. Expanse 1,8, inch. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 to 4000 feet (Champion). 
This species is allied to F. postica, Walk. 
6. Flavinia basina. 
Xanthyris basina, Boisd. Lép. Guat. p. 93 *. 
Hab. ? GUATEMALA }.— VENEZUELA }, 
I have seen the type of this species; it is very much faded, and is labelled “ Colombia 
‘and Venezuela.” , | 
SCAPTIA. 
Scaptia, Walker, Cat. 11. p. 376. 
Walker includes two species, one of which is from Nicaragua, in this genus ; I think 
‘it very doubtful if it is distinct from Flavinia.
