This species varies from a pale straw-colour to deep yellow, and the dark outer 
margin of the primaries is in some specimens broad and in others almost wanting. 
X. nigrofimbria appears to be common in Mexico and Guatemala, both Messrs. 
Champion and Smith having captured a good series of specimens. Mr. Smith’s 
examples were obtained between the months of January and March. I believe 
that Xanthodes parvula, Walk., the locality for which was unknown to its describer, 
is the same species.

Calydia, Bar, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1875, p. 291. 
The broader, shorter, and more rounded wings chiefly distinguish this genus from 
Palindia, to which it is very closely allied. Two species from Guiana were included 
in it by Bar; and Phrygionis metalligera, Butl., is doubtless congeneric with these. <A 
fourth species is now added from Chiriqui. The name Calydia is here adopted in 
preference to Phrygionis, as two of the three species placed under that name by Hiibner 
belong to distinct genera. 
1. Calydia metalligera. 
Phrygionis metalligera, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1879, p. 32’. 
Hab. GuateMa.a, Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 feet, Zapote (Champion); Panama, 
Volcan de Chiriqui (Z7rdtsch, in mus. Staudinger).—Amazons 1. 
Our specimens from Guatemala agree well with the type in the National Collection. 
The insect is allied to C. bourgaulti, Bar, but is much paler in colour. 
2. Calydia hemithea, sp.n. (Tab. XXIX. fig. 20.) 
Primaries pale brown, with a curved reddish-brown line beyond the cell and three curved metallic lines crossing 
the wing from near the costal to the inner margin, the costal margin yellowish with minute streaks 
of dark brown; secondaries pale brown, slightly yellowish at the base and along the inner margin, with 
several indistinct brown lines and some metallic spots and streaks at the anal angle; the underside of
