2. Metalectra dotata. 
Homoptera dotata, Walk. Cat. xiii. p. 1067°. 
Metalectra dotata, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1879, p. 63°. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (Rogers); Panama, Volcan de 
Chiriqui 2500 to 3500 feet (Champion).—Amazons ?, Santarem !. 
This insect is extremely close to M. precisalis, Hiibn.; indeed, the only difference I 
am able to detect is that the underside is very much paler in colour. 
3. Metalectra agathia, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIII. fig. 12.) 
Primaries and secondaries dark blackish-brown, each with two distinct waved black lines crossing about the 
middle from the costal to the inner margin, the primaries with a brownish spot at the end of the cell and 
a submarginal pale brown line, the secondaries thickly irrorated with reddish-brown from the middle to 
the outer margin; the underside of both wings pale brown, crossed by very indistinct lines of a darker 
colour: head, thorax, and abdomen above dark blackish-brown, beneath very much paler; antenna, 
palpi, and legs dark brown. Expanse 1 inch. 
Hab. Nicaraeua, Chontales (Janson) ; Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet 
(Rogers) ; Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
Four specimens are all we have received of this small dull-coloured species ; it is 
allied to MZ. dotata, Walk. <A Chiriqui example is figured. 
4. Metalectra zonata. : 
Homoptera zonata, Walk. Cat. xxxiil. p. 878'; Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1879, p. 40’. 
Metalectra zonata, Butl. loc. cit. p. 64. 
Hab. Norta America, United States !1—Mexico, Presidio (Forrer); Panama, Volcan 
de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion).—Amazons ?. 
This species was described by Walker from specimens said to have come from the 
United States ; it is not included by Grote in his Check-list of North-American Moths. 
5. Metalectra scitior. 
Homoptera scitior, Walk. Cat. xxxiii. p. 880°. 
Homoptera perpusilla, Walk. Cat. xxxiii. p. 881”. 
Hab, Mexico, Northern Sonora (Morrison), Presidio (Forrer); Honpuras (Dyson! 2), 
We have carefully compared Walker’s types, and find that they belong to one and 
the same species. 
6. Metalectra aglaia, sp. n. 
Primaries and secondaries of a uniform very pale fawn-colour, both wings crossed by narrow zigzag brown 
lines, the marginal line dark brown, the fringe pale fawn-colour; the underside whitish, without any 
markings: head, thorax, and abdomen pale fawn-colour; antenna, palpi, and legs brownish. Expanse 
1 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Northern Sonora (Morrison). 
Allied to M. scitior, Walk., but very different in colour..
