CRATOPTERA. 35 
dots, a small black dot at the end of the cell of both wings, and a very faint brown spot on the costal 
margin just before the apex; the underside coloured as above: head, thorax, abdomen, antennz, and legs 
pale grey. Expanse 13 inch. . 
Hab. Muxico, Presidio de Mazatlan (Forrer), Paso de San Juan in Vera Cruz (coll. 
Schaus). 
Mr. Schaus’s specimens are rather more distinctly marked than ours; a worn male 
in his collection has the dark mark on the costal margin of the primaries very much 
more distinct, and is more shaded with yellow at the anal angle, and partly round the 
outer margin of the secondaries. We figure a female from Presidio de Mazatlan. 
2. Cratoptera mena, sp.n. (Tab. XLIV. fig. 11, 9.) 
Female. Primaries and secondaries greyish-mouse-colour, the primaries shaded with dark brown at the apex, 
and with a dark brown line crossing from the apex to the inner margin close to the base, this line con- 
tinuing across the secondaries to the inner margin, both wings with a submarginal waved pale line with 
dark spots, the fringe dark brown; the underside pale mouse-colour, without markings: head, thorax, 
abdomen, legs, and antenne pale mouse-colour. Expanse 13? inch. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba 1000 feet (Champion). 
One specimen. ‘This insect is allied to C. retectaria, Feld. & Rogenh., from which 
it may be at once distinguished by its darker colour and the waved submarginal line 
to both wings. It also approaches an undescribed species from Ecuador in my own 
collection. 
3. Cratoptera atina, sp.n. (lab. XLIV. figg. 12, 13, 2.) 
Female. Primaries reddish-brown, crossed in the middle by a wide greenish-brown band, edged on the outer 
side with a silvery-grey line and on the inner side with a similarly-coloured much dentated line, the 
latter extending from the costal to the inner margin, a submarginal row of dark brown spots with silvery- 
grey points extending from the apex to the anal angle, and a small black dot at the end of the cell, the 
marginal line grey, the fringe dark reddish-brown ; secondaries reddish-brown, with the base greenish- 
brown, a greyish line crossing the wing above the middle from the costal to the inner margin, the fringe 
dark reddish-brown ; underside bright orange-yellow, the primaries slightly irrorated with brown scales, 
and with a dark brown narrow line crossing from the apex to about the middle of the inner margin, the 
apex with two or three small patches of white scales close to the costal margin, a submarginal row of 
dark brown spots extending from just below the apex to the anal angle, the secondaries with a few very 
minute dark brown dots close to the anal angle: head, thorax, abdomen, and legs dark reddish-brown 
above, bright orange-yellow beneath ; antenne dark brown. Expanse 1,§, inch. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Caché (Rogers). 
One specimen. 
4, Cratoptera retectaria. 
Cratoptera retectaria, Feld. & Rogenh. Reise der Novara, Lep. t. 133. fig. 17 (g)'. 
Hab. Guaremata, San Gerdénimo (Champion).—Amazons 1. 
A worn female specimen from Guatemala agrees fairly well with Felder and Rogen- 
hofer’s figure, and also with male examples from the Amazons in my own collection.
