304 HETEROCERA. 
3. Metoponia (?) procida, sp.n. (Tab. XXVIII. fig. 11.) | 
Primaries pale brownish-yellow, clouded with brown at the base and along the inner margin, two dark brown 
spots on the costal margin and one on the middle of the inner margin, the wing crossed from the costal 
to the inner margin by five very indistinct narrow waved brown lines; the secondaries blackish; the 
fringe of both wings yellow: head, thorax, and tegule pale yellowish-brown, the abdomen black above 
and pale brown beneath, the antenne and legs brown. Expanse 1 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Tierra Colorada in Guerrero 2000 feet (H. H. Smith). 
One specimen, captured in October 1888. 
EUGRAPHIA. 
Eugraphia, Guénée, Sp. gén. des Lép. vi. p. 208 (1852) ; Walker, Cat. xii. p. 776. 
This genus was founded by Guénée for the reception of a single species, EH. irretita 
(Hiibn.), from Brazil. A very fine new one from Chiriqui is now added. 
1. Eugraphia effusa, sp.n. (Tab. XXVIII. fig. 12.) 
Primaries cream-colour, broadly bordered with brownish-black from the apex to the anal angle, and with 
three narrow black lines crossing the wing from the costal margin and joining the marginal band about 
the middle, the black lines and the outer borders thickly irrorated with metallic green scales; secondaries 
bright yellow, broadly bordered with black from the apex to about the middle of the outer margin, a 
yellow spot on the costal margin close to the apex ; the fringe of the primaries greenish-black, that of the 
secondaries white; the underside of both wings bright yellow, with the outer margins black: head and 
thorax cream-colour, the abdomen and anal tuft pale yellow, the underside of the thorax and abdomen and 
the legs almost white, the antenne black. Expanse 1,4, inch. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (7rétsch, mus. Staudinger). 
Allied to £. irretita, from which it may be at once distinguished by the broad dark- 
coloured outer margins of the primaries and secondaries. 
XANTHODES. 
Xanthodes, Guénée, Sp. gén. des Lép. vi. p. 209 (1852). 
This genus has a very extended distribution, species being found in Europe, Asia, 
and Africa; and we now have to record three from Central America. 
1. Xanthodes laverna, sp.n. (Tab. XXVIII. fig. 13.) 
Primaries greyish fawn-colour, crossed by three yellowish-brown bands, edged with paler colour on one side, 
the two outer bands being >-shaped and joining in a point close te the apex on the outer margin, the 
fringe brownish; secondaries yellowish fawn-colour: head, thorax, abdomen, and legs greyish, the anus 
dusky, the antenne pale brown. Expanse 1,4 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Cuesta de Misantla (I. Trujillo), Jalapa (Schaus); Guatema.a, Zapote, 
San Gerdénimo (Champion). 
This species bears a slight resemblance to X. flava (Fabr.) (=transversa, Guén.) ; 
but it is entirely different in colour. .X. laverna appears to be peculiar to Mexico and 
Guatemala. Our figure is taken from a San Gerdnimo specimen.
