308: HETEROCERA. 
specimen received from Mexico is smaller and rather paler in colour than those from 
Guatemala ; our figure is taken from one of the latter. 
11. Acontia phenna, sp.n. (Tab. XXVIII. fig. 22.) 
Primaries dark brownish-fawn-colour, quite pale on the costal margin at the base, with two white streaks on 
the costal margin (the first the largest, the second smaller and nearest the apex), a cream-coloured spot 
at the anal angle, bordered on the inner side by a waved reddish-brown line, and a submarginal row of 
minute black dots edged with white on the inner side, the fringe pale brown ; secondaries dark brown, palest 
near the base, the fringe pale yellowish-brown ; the underside of both wings pale fawn-colour, that of the 
primaries shaded with dark brown near the apex: head, collar, and front of the thorax white, the rest of 
the thorax, the abdomen, and tegula pale brown ; the underside of the abdomen almost white ; the antennee 
dark brown; the legs pale fawn-colour. Expanse 1} inch. 
Hab. MeExioo, Presidio (Forrer). 
This species comes nearest to an unnamed one from South Africa in my own 
collection. 
12. Acontia costalis. (Tab. XXVIII. fig. 23.) 
Acontia (?) costalis, Walk. Cat. xii. p. 787°. 
Hab. Mexico, Xucumanatlan in Guerrero 7000 feet (H. H. Smith, July 1888), 
Valladolid in Yucatan (Gawmer); GuaremMaLa, Panzos, San Gerénimo (Champion).— 
Amazons, Santarem!; AnvTILLEs, San Domingo}. 
The few specimens we have received of this species agree with Walker's type in the 
National Collection. We figure one from Mexico. 
13. Acontia (?) damia, sp.n. (Tab. XXVIII. fig. 24.) 
Primaries bright pea-green, the base and the outer third of the wing dark brown, a narrow waved white line 
crossing from the costal to the inner margin beyond the middle; secondaries bright orange, slightly 
shaded with brown at the apex; the underside of both wings orange, shaded near the apex with pale 
brown: head, thorax, and abdomen pale brown; the antenne and legs brown. Expanse 1,4, inch. 
Hab. Guatemata, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
Only one specimen of this beautiful species was obtained; I place it in the genus 
Acontia with considerable doubt. 
14, Acontia dacia, sp.n. (Tab. XXVIII. fig. 25.) 
Primaries pale brown, very pale near the base, with a dark brown line crossing the wing from the inner 
margin near the base, but not reaching the costal margin, a reddish-brown spot close to the anal angle, 
and a white streak starting from the costal margin near the apex, but not reaching the outer margin, the 
apex and the costal margin very pale brown ; secondaries dusky white, darkest at the apex and round 
the outer margin to the anal angle: head, thorax, and abdomen pale greyish-brown ; the antenne brown. 
Expanse 1,1, inch. 
Hab. Muxico, Jalapa (Hége), Cordova (Riimeli), Atoyac in Vera Cruz (Schumann, 
H. H. Smith); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Ribbe, in mus. Staudinger). 
The specimen from the Volcan de Chiriqui in Dr. Staudinger’s collection is larger 
than any of our Mexican examples, and is also considerably darker in colour, but the 
markings are identical.
