brown, and placed about halfway between the costal and inner margins on the outer side of the dark line, 
the upper one small, the lower one considerably larger; the secondaries with two similar spots above the 
anal angle and nearest the inner margin; the fringe primrose-yellow, slightly darker than the wings ; 
the underside of a brighter and darker yellow colour than the upperside, the primaries only crossed by a 
reddish-brown line (corresponding with the line on the upperside), the secondaries with three small 
reddish-brown spots near the apex, both wings very slightly irrorated with dark reddish-brown scales: 
head, thorax, abdomen, and legs pale yellow, the antenne and palpi pale brown. Expanse 14 inch.

(Buckley, in mus. D.). 
One specimen of this very distinct species has been received from Guatemala. An 
example of the female from Ecuador is contained in my own collection ; it differs from 
the male only in the entire absence of the spots on the wings.

generic name. ‘The genus is represented in Central America by four species, including

This species varies very considerably in the distinctness of the markings, and also in 
colour. ‘The type of Clysia discolor, Walk., is now in my own collection; it is in- 
separable from Cramer’s species. The specimen from Chiriqui in Dr. Staudinger’s 
collection has a distinct white costal spot, and the usual markings and spots are very 
indistinct. In some of the Ecuador examples in my collection, captured by Buckley, 
the white costal spot is just visible. Walker mentions* a specimen from Rio Janeiro 
in Mr. Fry’s collection, which has the white costal spot; he also states* that Clysia 
comiciata, Guen., seems to be identical with Paragonia tasima (Cram.), which I am 
inclined to think is correct.
