FREILLA.—MARMORINIA. 411 
The Mexican specimens of this insect, captured by Mr. H. H. Smith in February 
1888, and from one of which our figure is taken, are all darker in. colour than those 
from more southern localities, and in some of them the underside is shot with a pink 
tinge. 
CALLISCOTUS. 
Calliscotus, Butler, P. Z. 8. 1878, p. 489. 
Butler founded Calliscotus upon an insect from Jamaica, which is now known to us 
from our region. It bears a slight resemblance to the Geometrid genus Scotosia, as 
noted by its author. 
1. Calliscotus bowreyi. 
Calliscotus bowreyi, Butl. P. Z. 8S. 1878, p. 489°. 
Hab. Mexico, Dos Arroyos 1000 feet, Tierra Colorada 2000 feet, both i in Guerrero 
(H. H. Smith); Guatemata, in the city (Rodriguez).— ANTILLES, Jamaica 1. 
Our specimens are almost identical with Mr. Butler’s type in the National Collection. 
The Mexican examples were captured by Mr. H. H. Smith during the months of 
September and October 1888; the one from Guatemala is very much stained, but I 
have no doubt it belongs to the same species. 
MARMORINIA. 
Marmorinia, Guénée, Sp. gén. des Lép. vii. p. 370 (1852) ; Walker, Cat. xv. p. 1597. 
Guénée included four species in this genus, two from North America and two from 
India; a fifth is now added from Central America. The North-American species, one 
of which is said to be from Georgia, are omitted from Grote’s Check-list. 
1. Marmorinia curviluna, sp. n. (Tab. XXXIII. fig. 21.) 
Primaries and secondaries dull greyish-fawn-colour, slightly darker round the outer margin’; .the primaries 
crossed from the costal to the inner margin by two narrow waved yellowish-brown lines (the first near 
the base, the second beyond the cell); the secondaries ‘erossed’ about the middle by a yellowish-brown 
straight line extending from the middle of the costal margin-to just above the anal angle, where it forms 
the outer limit of a large black spot; both wings with a submarginal row of minute black spots extending 
round the outer margin, and a white lunular-shaped mark at the end of the cell; the underside paler than 
above, with the white markings more distinct: head, thorax, and abdomen greyish-fawn-colour, the 
antennew and legs brown. ‘The female is duller in colour than the male, and has the black spot at the 
anal angle of the secondaries very much smaller. Expanse, ¢ ?, 14 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (fl. #. Smith); Guaremata, Volcan de Atitlan 
2500 to 3500 feet, Zapote, San Gerdnimo, Panima (Champion); Panama, Chiriqui 
(Ribbe, in mus. Staudinger). 
This small insect has a very wide distribution in our region. Our figure is taken 
from a Chiriqui specimen in Dr. Staudinger’s collection.
