MASTIGOPHORUS.—NEOHERMINIA. 471 
5. Mastigophorus (?) lysaniax, sp.n. (Tab. XX XIX. figg. 4, 4a, 3.) 
Male. Primaries pale brown, crossed near the base by a dark brown line, a small pale spot at the end of the 
cell, beyond which the wing is crossed from the costal to the inner margin just above the anal angle by 
two narrow dark brown lines, the fringe pale brown ; secondaries dull brown, slightly greyish along the 
costal margin, with two dark brown lines, edged on the outer side with paler brown, partly crossing the 
wing from the anal angle ; the underside very pale brown, with all the lines very indistinct : head, front 
of the thorax, antenne, palpi, and legs pale brown, the rest of the thorax and the abdomen darker brown. 
Expanse 1} inch. ; 
Hab. Guatemata, Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 feet (Champion); Panama, 
Chiriqui (ibbe, in mus. Staudinger). 
The three male specimens captured by Mr. Champion in Guatemala show consider- 
able variation, not only in colour but in the distinctness of the lines crossing the wings ; 
one example is of a pale buff colour, with the lines very faint on the primaries. The 
Chiriqui specimen in Dr. Staudinger’s collection is similar to the one figured. The 
female remains to be discovered. 
6. Mastigophorus(?) mallophora, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIX. figg. 5, 5a, 3.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries dull whitish-brown, slightly darker round the outer margin, an indistinct 
brown spot at the end of the cell on the primaries, both wings crossed by a submarginal dark brown line 
(on the primaries from the costal to the inner margin, on the secondaries from the costal margin to the 
anal angle) and with the marginal line marked with very fine black points; the underside very similar in 
colour to the upperside, but with the submarginal line very indistinct: head, thorax, abdomen, palpi, 
antenne, and legs pale brown. LExpanse 1 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (coll. Schaus). 
Of this dull-coloured species I have only seen the male specimen captured by 
Mr. Schaus, who has kindly placed it at my disposal to describe and figure. 
7. Mastigophorus(?) aonia, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIX. figg. 6, 6a, 3.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries from the base to beyond the middle dark brown, where both wings are 
crossed by a narrow brownish-white line bordered on the outer side with pale brown (this colour shading 
to dark brown on the outer margin), a faint brownish-white line crossing the primaries from the costal 
to the inner margin near the base, a zigzag faint submarginal line extending from the costal margin near 
the apex to the inner margin of both wings, the marginal line of the primaries and secondaries black, 
the fringe dark brown; the underside pale brown, with a few indistinct markings: head, thorax, and 
abdomen dark brown, the latter banded with pale brown ; the antenna and palpi brown, the tuft of hair 
on the latter pale brown; the legs brown. Expanse 1 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
Two specimens of this distinct species, both males, were received from Mr. Champion, 
one being considerably paler in colour than the other. Our figure is taken from the 
darker of the two. 
NEOHERMINIA, gen. nov. 
Head and eyes small; antenne fine, rather more than half the length of the costal margin. Palpi of the male 
short, turned back over the head and tufted with hairs at the end; those of the female shorter and 
simple. Thorax small; abdomen slender, extending slightly beyond the wings; legs rather long and 
slender, the front pair in the male tufted with hair. Wings moderately small and rather broad; the
