DYSODIA. 325 
Grote and Robinson refer Platythyris to the Thyride, but it seems to me to be better 
placed in the Eurhipine. 
Species of this genus are very widely distributed in the Old and New World; five 
are now enumerated from within the limits of our fauna, four of these being described 
as new. 
1. Dysodia sica, sp.n. (Tab. XXX. fig. 4.) 
Primaries yellowish-olive colour, with three whitish spots on the costal margin, and four distinct brown lines 
crossing from the costal to the inner margin, the wing also crossed by many very minute brown lines, 
the fringe dark brown; secondaries the same colour as the primaries, crossed in the middle by a brown 
line, the fringe whitish near the anal angle; the underside paler than the upperside, with the apex of the 
primaries much browner: head, thorax, and abdomen yellowish-olive colour, the antenne brown, the 
palpi and legs yellowish-brown. Expanse 1,%, inch. 
Hab. Muxtco, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith, Feb. 1888). 
Mr. Smith captured a fair series of this insect ; it does not show any variation. 
2. Dysodia nipsa, sp.n. (Tab. XXX. fig. 5.) 
Primaries dark reddish-brown, crossed from the costal to the inner margin by four rather wide pale reddish- 
brown bands; secondaries dark reddish-brown, mottled with paler brown, with an elongate hyaline spot 
about the middle, but placed rather closer to the costal than to the inner margin; the fringe of both 
wings brown ; the underside paler than the upperside : head, thorax, abdomen, legs, and antenne reddish- 
brown. Expanse 1,8, inch. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion). 
Allied to D. (Eutelia) fenestrata, Moore, but entirely different in colour and 
markings. 
8. Dysodia lusia, sp.n. (Tab. XXX. fig. 6.) 
Primaries reddish-orange, shaded and streaked with brown, with a brown mark at the middle of the costal 
margin and a brown line near the apex, the other parts of the wing streaked with very minute brown 
lines ; secondaries reddish-orange, shaded with brown along the costal margin and at the apex, and 
streaked across the wing from the inner margin with brown lines: head, collar, and front of the thorax 
dark brown, the rest of the thorax and abdomen above reddish-orange, a greyish line crossing the abdo- 
men near the base; the underside of the thorax, abdomen, and legs pale brown; antenne dark brown. 
Expanse 17 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Allied to D. sica, and also slightly resembling the Indian D. ( Varnia) ignita, 
Walker. 
4. Dysodia lineata, sp.n. (Tab. XXX. fig. 7.) 
Primaries dark olivaceous-brown, crossed about the middle from the costal to the inner margin by two narrow 
reddish-brown lines, and with three small whitish dots on the costal margin, the fringe dark brown ; 
secondaries similar in colour to the primaries, with a large hyaline spot about the middle, and several 
very minute dots between the hyaline spot and the inner margin, the fringe greyish: head, thorax, and 
abdomen dark brown, the anal tuft pale brown; the antenne and legs dark brown. Expanse 1,4 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith, March 1888). 
Allied to D. nipsa, but a smaller and darker-coloured insect.
