from Guiana. In Central America Diamuna is represented by four species, all of which 
are here described as new. 
1. Diamuna longipes, sp.n. (Tab. XXX. fig. 18.) 
Primaries greyish-brown, with some pale greyish streaks near the apex on the costal margin, a wide greyish- 
brown band edged with dark brown lines extending from near the base on the inner margin to the anal 
angle, and then along the outer margin to the apex, the marginal line dark brown, the fringe pale brown ; 
secondaries bright orange, broadly bordered from the apex to the anal angle with brownish-black, the 
fringe greyish-brown ; the underside of both wings pale yellow, broadly bordered with reddish-brown, a 
reddish-brown spot at the end of the cell of both wings, the costal margin of the primaries irrorated With 
reddish-brown scales: head, thorax, and abdomen reddish-brown, the abdomen with a wide central black 
band extending from the base to the anus; the antenne, palpi, and legs brown. Expanse 23 inches. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hoge). 
One specimen. 
2. Diamuna adrasta, sp.n. (Tab. XXX. fig. 20.) 
Primaries dark reddish-brown, thickly irrorated with minute metallic lead-coloured scales, a pale yellowish- 
brown band extending from near the apex to the inner margin slightly above the anal angle, the apex 
and fringe blackish ; secondaries bright orange-yellow, broadly bordered with deep black from the costal 
margin to the inner margin near the anal angle, the fringe black; the underside of the primaries deep 
black, with the base and a wide band beyond the middle bright orange, that of the secondaries as above : 
head, thorax, abdomen, legs, and antennw deep black, the tegule black with the base orange. The 
female with the black margin of the secondaries considerably wider than in the male. Expanse, ¢ 1? 
inch, @ 2 inches. 
Hab. Mexico, Patzcuaro (/. D. G.), Amula in Guerrero 6000 feet (H. H. Smith, 
Aug. 1888), Jalapa (Hoge), Orizaba (Elwes, March 1888). 
This fine species appears to be widely distributed and fairly common in Mexico. 
The specimens from Jalapa and Orizaba are smaller than those fiom the other 
localities. 
8. Diamuna edessa, sp.n. (Tab. XXX. figg. 21, 22.) 
Primaries brown, with a waved submarginal line crossing the wing from the costal margin near the apex to 
the inner margin, a round spot in the cell, and an elongate spot at the end of the cell, all dark brown, a 
large brownish-white patch beyond the cell on the costal margin, but not extending more than halfway 
across the wing; secondaries bright chrome-yellow, bordered with black, more broadly so at the apex ; 
the underside of the primaries black, crossed beyond the middle from the costal margin to the anal angle 
with a wide yellow band, that of the secondaries the same as above; the fringe of both wings blackish- 
brown: head, thorax, antenns, and tegule dark brown; the abdomen and legs black. Expanse 12 
inch. 
Hab. GuateMaLa, Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 feet (Champion). 
This species is allied to D. adrasta, from which it may be distinguished by the white 
patch on the primaries, and the narrower black border of the secondaries. 
4. Diamuna elia, sp.n. (Tab. XXX. figg. 23, 24.) 
Primaries dark brown, irrorated with white scales along the costal margin, with two waved lines crossing from 
the costa] to the inner margin (the first close to the base, the second submarginal), a round spot in the
