APATELODES.—METRAGA. 209 
This insect is allied to the North-American A. torrefacta, Abbot and Smith, but 
readily distinguished from that species by its larger size and entirely different colour. 
The female specimen from Bugaba is considerably the darkest in colour, the primaries 
having all the markings very much clearer, the secondaries yellower in tint and with 
the central line more distinct. 
5. Apatelodes heptaloba, sp. n. (Tab. XXII. fig. 10.) 
Male. Primaries uniform reddish-brown, crossed from the costal margin to the inner margin by fine narrow dark 
brown waved lines, and with a reddish-brown spot on the inner margin nearest the base, and a hyaline dot 
close to the apex; secondaries uniform pale reddish-brown, with the veins and fringe slightly darker ; 
underside pale reddish-brown, the secondaries with a pale fawn-coloured narrow central band crossing from 
the costal margin to the inner margin: head, thorax, and abdomen reddish-brown, the thorax with a 
dark brown central line from the apex to the base ; palpi and the front of the underside of the thorax dark 
brown; antennz pale brown; legs reddish-brown. Expanse 2 inches. 
Hab. GuaTEMALA, Quiche Mountains 7000 to 9000 feet (Champion). 
A single specimen of this insect was obtained by Mr. Champion. A. heptaloba is 
most nearly allied to A. adrastia, from which it differs greatly in colour and in the 
narrow bands on the primaries. 
ACRONYCTODES. 
Acronyctodes, H. Edwards, Papilio, iv. p. 78 (1884). 
Mr. Edwards states that this genus is closely allied to Apatelodes, Pack., but differs in 
the following respects :—“ the fore wings are longer and acutely produced at the apex, 
without the excavation on the margin visible in Apatelodes, the posterior margin being 
more oblique to the internal angle; the feet and legs less densely clothed with hair ; 
the abdomen a little longer; and the palpi shorter and more slender.”

METRAGA. 
Metraga, Walker, Cat. v. p. 1129. 
Walker included a single species from Venezuela in this genus; this I am now able 
to trace northwards to Guatemala.
