DARGIDA. 271 
of minute black dots extending from the apex to the anal angle; secondaries almost uniformly dark silky- 
brown, slightly paler at the base, the fringe brown and yellowish-white: head, collar, and thorax dark 
brown, the abdomen paler brown ; antenne and legs reddish-brown. Expanse 1,5 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Coatepec (Brooks) ; GuaTemMaLa, Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 38500 feet 
(Champion). 
This species may be readily distinguished from D. singularis, Butler, by the entirely 
brown secondaries, and also by the lighter-coloured and more distinctly marked 
primaries. The Guatemalan specimen is figured. 
5. Dargida sarepta, sp.n. (Tab. XXVL. fig. 16.) 
Primaries dark brown, crossed by three indistinct black lines, with a white line at the end of the cell, a small 
white spot on the inner margin close to the base, a narrow whitish waved liue extending from the apex, 
where it is forked, to about the middle of the inner margin, and on the outer side of the whitish line a 
pale brown line beyond which is a row of indistinct brown spots; secondaries glossy brown, slightly 
paler in the middle and at the base: head and thorax dark brown, the abdomen of the same colour as the 
secondaries ; legs and antenne brown. LExpanse 1} inch. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Rzbbe, in mus. Staudinger). 
Two specimens of this distinct species are contained in the collection of Dr. Stau- 
dinger. JD. sarepta is allied to the preceding species, but may be at once distinguished 
from it by the pale lines on the primaries ; in one specimen these lines are not quite so 
white in colour as in the other. 
6. Dargida porphyra, sp.n. (Tab. XXVI. fig. 17.) 
Primaries dark brown shaded with reddish-brown, with a white spot at the end of the cell, beyond which is a 
row of minute white dots crossing the wing from near the apex on the costal margin to the inner margin, 
a pinkish-brown stripe near the apex, commencing on the costal margin above the white spot and | 
extending towards the outer margin, a wide pinkish-brown streak about the middle of the inner margin 
and a bluish-white dot between it and the base, and a submarginal row of minute black dots, the fringe 
light and dark brown; secondaries uniformly dark brown, palest at the base, the fringe light brown: 
head and thorax dark brown; abdomen brown, becoming lighter near the anus; antenne, palpi, and legs 
brown. Expanse 1? inch. 
Hab. Gvatemata, Las Mercedes 3000 feet (Champion); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqul 
(Ribbe). | 
A beautiful species and quite distinct from all others of this genus. Our figure is 
taken from the Guatemalan specimen. 
7. Dargida luma, sp.n. (Tab. XXVI. fig. 13.) 
Primaries reddish-brown shaded with darker brown, the costal margin streaked with dark brown, an indistinct 
dark brown mark in the middle of the wing, a minute bluish-white spot on the inner margin close to the 
base, and a marginal row of small black dots extending from the apex to the anal angle, the fringe 
brown: secondaries uniform dark brown, with the fringe reddish-brown: head, thorax, and abdomen 
reddish-brown ; antenne and legs brown. Expanse 1? inch. 
Hab. Guaremaua, San Gerénimo, Volcan de Atitlan 3500 feet (Champion). 
Two specimens only of this dull-ccloured insect were obtained.
