318 HETEROCERA. 
The only specimens I have seen of this species from our country are those collected 
by Mr. J. J. Walker, R.N., late of H.M.S. ‘ Kingfisher.’ 
5. Palindia mustela, sp.n. (Tab. XXIX. fig. 21.) 
Primaries pale brownish-fawn-colour, dark brown (in some lights appearing to be shot with purple) along the 
costal margin, and this colour extending across the wing towards the middle, with three narrow yellowish- 
brown lines crossing the wing from the costal to the inner margin, a large almost black spot close to the 
base, and a submarginal row of black dots extending from the costal margin close to the apex to the anal 
angle, the fringe brown with several black patches on the outer margin near the apex ; secondaries pale 
silky brown, becoming yellowish at the apex and on the outer margin, an indistinct metallic streak and a 
purplish spot near the anal angle, above which are two small black spots; the underside of both wings pale 
brown, that of the secondaries with two faint lines crossing from the costal to the inner margin: head, 
thorax, and tegule pale yellowish-brown ; abdomen pale brown, much paler beneath ; legs greyish-brown ; 
antenne and palpi dark brown. Expanse 14 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Atoyac in Vera Cruz (Schumann). 
A very distinct species, quite different in colour and markings from any known 
to me. 
6. Palindia juncida. 
Palindia juncida, Guén. Sp. gén. des Lép. vi. p. 277°; Walk. Cat. xi. p. 8497; Druce, P. Z.8. 
1884, p. 323°. 
Palindia addens, Walk. Cat. xv. p. 1768 *. 
Palindia aglauda, Bar, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1876, p. 7, t. 1. ff. 10, 11°. 
Hab. Mexico, State of Durango (Forrer), Atoyac in Vera Cruz (H. H. Smith, May 
1888); GuatemaLa, San Gerénimo (Champion); Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 
7000 feet (Rogers); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (fibbe, in mus. Staudinger), Panama 
city (J. J. Walker) —CotomBia+?; Gurana®; Braziu?; Upper Amazons; ANTILLES, 
Dominica %, San Domingo 4. 
This species varies considerably, the wings in some specimens being of a pale prim- 
rose and in others of a dusky brown tint; but in no one locality, so far as I can judge 
from the material before me, is any form of colour at all constant. The specimens 
from Central America are as variable as those from South Brazil. 
The insect figured by Bar (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1876, t. 1. f. 11) closely resembles 
P. addens, Walk. ; the latter is not distinct from P. juncida. 
7. Palindia rectimargo. 
Palindia rectimargo, Guén. Sp. gén. des Lép. vi. p. 2767; Walk. Cat. xii. p. 847°; Herr.-Schaffer, 
Corr. Biatt. zool.-min. Ver. Regensb. 1869, p. 153 (sep. copy, p. 25)°; Bar, Ann. Soc. Ent. 
Fr. 1876, p. 8“.
