the apex to about the middle of the inner margin by a narrow whitish-brown line, which is edged on the 
inner side with a darker line, this latter interrupted by the nervures, which are white; the secondaries 
crossed about the middle by a line corresponding to that on the primaries, below which are some dark 
streaks and spots; the underside of both wings dull greyish-brown, with the black dots very distinct ; the 
fringe greyish-brown: head and collar blackish-brown ; the thorax, abdomen, and hind legs greyish- 
brown; the front legs and antenne dark brown, the former banded with pale greyish-brown. The female 
very similar to the male, but considerably paler in colour. Expanse, 3 27, 9 2} inches. 
Hab. Mexico, Coatepec, Jalapa (coll. Schaus); Guatemaua, El Tumbador 2500 feet, 
Rio Naranjo 450 feet, Las Mercedes 3000 feet, Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 feet 
(Champion). 
Mr. Schaus informs us that this is a rare insect in Mexico; we have only received it 
from Guatemala. 2. marciana is allied to Z. onustaria, from which it may be readily 
distinguished by its greyish colour, larger size, and blackish-brown head and collar. 
5. Aaschropteryx martina, sp.n. (Tab. XLII. fig. 3, 3.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries pale yellowish-brown, each crossed by a darker line, below which the wings 
are indistinctly clouded with brown, a black dot at the end of the cell on the primaries, the costal margin 
of the latter rather paler in colour than the other part of the wing; the underside of both wings pale 
fawn-colour, thickly irrorated with dark brown dots: head and front of the thorax yellowish-brown, 
the abdomen and legs darker in colour, the antenne brown. Expanse 12 inch. 
Hab. Guaremata, in the city (Rodriguez), San Gerénimo and El Jicaro in Vera Paz 
(Champion). 
Four specimens, all males. The example from the city of Guatemala is darker in 
colour than the others. _4. martina is not closely allied to any species known to me. 
MICROGONIA. 
Microgonia, Herrich-Schiffer, Samml. aussereur. Schmett. p. 41 (1855). 
Herrich-Schaffer referred three species to this genus, and mentioned another as 
possibly belonging to it. 
1. Microgonia rhodaria. 
Microgonia rhodaria, Herr.-Schiaff. Samml. aussereur. Schmett. pp. 41, 63, f. 348°. 
Cherodes (?) rhodaria, Walk. Cat. xxvi. p. 1480’. 
Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Trétsch, in mus. Staudinger ).—BRaziL 12, 
A specimen from Chiriqui agrees fairly well with Herrich-Schaffer’s figure, but it is 
darker in colour. | 
CIRSODES. 
Cirsodes, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 41 (1857); Walker, Cat. xx. p. 30. 
Laudosia, Walker, Cat. xx. p. 268. 
Guenée included three species in this genus, one from Brazil and two from Colombia.
