ARISTARIA. 459 
5. Aristaria ? 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). 
One worn specimen, apparently belonging to a distinct species. 
6. Aristaria (?) lycaon, sp.n. (Tab. XXXVIL. fig. 22, 2.) 
Male. Primaries pale brown shaded with darker brown, with three dark brown lines crossing from the costal 
to the inner margin, two blackish-brown spots close to the apex—the first rather large, the second small,— 
and a fine waved indistinct submarginal yellowish-brown line extending from the costal margin close to the 
apex to the anal angle; secondaries dull brown, with a faint rather darker brown line crossing the middle 
from the costal to the inner margin; the underside of both wings uniform pale dusky brown: head, 
thorax, abdomen, palpi, antenna, and legs dull brown. The female very similar to the male, but more 
uniform in colour, and with all the markings more indistinct. Expanse, g 14, ? 1,3; inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (H. H. Smith); Guatemaua, San 
Geronimo, Capetillo (Champion). 
Mr. Herbert Smith captured a male of this insect in August 1888 ; it is rather darker 
in colour than the male and female before me from Guatemala. A male from San 
Gerdnimo is figured.

7. Aristaria (?) apicata, sp.n. (Tab. XXXVII. fig. 23, ¢.) 
Male. Primaries dark fawn-colour, crossed from the costal to the inner margin by two dark brown lines which 
are edged with paler brown on the outer side—the first close to the base, the second beyond the middle,— 
two black spots at the end of the cell, and a pale waved submarginal line extending from near the apex 
to the anal angle; secondaries blackish-brown; the fringe of both wings yellowish fawn-colour; the 
underside almost uniform dull brown, slightly irrorated with a few greyish scales: head, thorax, abdomen, 
palpi, antenne, and legs brown. The female very similar to the male, but usually very much paler in 
colour, and with simple antenne. Expanse, ¢ 2, 1 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Mazatlan (Forrer), Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith); GuareMaa, San 
Gerénimo (Champion) ; Costa Rica, Caché (Rogers). 
Varies considerably in colour, the females being generally the lightest. Mr. Herbert 
Smith captured specimens in March and April 1888. Our figure is taken from a Costa 
Rican male. 
8. Aristaria (?) mera, sp.n. (Tab. XX XVII. fig. 24, 3.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries pale brown; the primaries crossed before the middle from the costal to the 
inner margin by a rather wide dark brown band, an oval spot of variable size and colour at the end of the 
cell (in some specimens greyish-yellow, in others black, and in some almost obsolete), and a submarginal 
row of very minute yellowish-white dots extending from near the apex to the inner margin just above the 
anal angle; the fringe of both wings pale brown; the underside uniformly brown. The female very 
similar to the male, but with the antenne simple. Expanse, ¢ 9, 1} to 1; inch.
