298 HETEROCERA. 
from North America, one of which we include in our list upon the authority of 
Dr. Staudinger; and one is now added from Western Mexico. 
1. Cucullia postera. 
Cucullia postera, Guén. Sp. gén. des Lép. vi. p. 183°; Walk. Cat. xi. p. 656’. 
Hab. Norta America! ?, Carolina (Morrison)—MeExico (in mus. Staudinger). 
The specimens from Mexico, forwarded to us by Dr. Staudinger for examination, 
agree well with others from Carolina in my own collection. 
2. Cucullia phocylides, sp.n. (Tab. XXVIII. fig. 3.) 
Primaries pale grey, with an indistinct wide fawn-coloured band crossing the wing from near the apex to the 
inner margin, several narrow black streaks near the apex, and a dark brown spot close to the anal angle, 
the marginal line black, the fringe grey ; secondaries dull white, dusky at the apex and along part of the 
outer margin, the fringe white; the underside of the primaries dusky blackish-brown, that of the secon- 
daries as above: head and front of the thorax dark grey, the rest of the thorax and the abdomen brownish- 
fawn-colour, the antenne dark brownish-black, the legs dark grey. Expanse 2} inches. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (H. A. Smith, August). 
This species is allied to C. postera, Guén., from which it differs in having a wide 
fawn-coloured marking across the primaries and much less colour on the outer margin 
of the secondaries. It is possible that C. phocylides may prove to be inseparable from 
one or the other of the North-American species of Cucullia described by Lintner; but 
it is not likely that this is the case. The single specimen received is probably a female. 
Subfam. HELIOTHINAL. 
CHLORIDEA. 
Chloridea, Westwood, in Duncan’s Nat. Libr. xxxvii. p. 198 (1841) ; Walker, Cat. xi. p. 677. 
Prof. Westwood founded this genus upon Phalena rherie, Abbot and Smith, from 
Georgia; and Walker subsequently added two others to it, one from North America 
and one from the Antilles.
