varies considerably in the depth of colour and in the markings. 
3. Acrotomia muta, sp.n. (Tab. XLV. figg. 15, 16, 3.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries yellowish-fawn-colour, darker round the outer margins; the primaries with 
a small black dot at the end of the cell, a narrow brown line edged with white on the outer side crossing 
from the apex to the inner margin, and 4 submarginal row of white spots extending from the apex to the 
anal angle, the marginal line white, the fringe brown ; the secondaries crossed about the middle from the 
costal to the inner margin by a brown line, which is edged with white on the outer side, a submarginal 
row of small white spots extending from the apex to the anal angle ; the underside orange-yellow, with the 
outer margin of both wings bright orange, the primaries with a rather wide dark brown submarginal 
band extending from the apex to the anal angle, and on the outer side of this a very fine waved white 
line: head, antenne, thorax, and abdomen yellowish-fawn-colour above, pale yellow beneath; the legs 
yellow. Expanse 1,5, inch. 
Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Trdtsch, in mus. Staudinger). 
One specimen. 
4, Acrotomia polla, sp.n. (Tab. XLV. figg. 17,3; 18, 2.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries pale creamy-fawn-colour ; the primaries crossed from the apex to about the 
middle of the inner margin by a rather wide yellow line, and with a faint curved yellow line nearer the 
base, a small black dot at the end of the cell, a brown spot on the costal margin close to the apex, and a 
submarginal indistinct waved line extending from the apex to the anal angle, the fringe pale brown; the ~ 
secondaries crossed about the middle by a yellow line similar to that on the primaries, and with a faint 
submarginal line extending from the apex to the anal angle, the fringe brown ; the underside yellow, with 
a line crossing the primaries from the apex almost to the inner margin, a small black dot at the end of the 
cell on both wings: head, thorax, abdomen, and antenne pale fawn-colour. The female differs from the

costal to the inner margin by two darker curved lines—the first near the base, edged on the inner side 
with a very fine waved white line, the second about the middle,—beyond which a zigzag fine white line 
extends from the costal margin near the apex to about the middle of the inner margin, where it joins the 
second dark line crossing the wing, the fringe olive-yellow ; the secondaries crossed beyond the middle by 
a zigzag white line, beyond which is an indistinct greyish band, and with a very distinct black spot at the 
end of the cell, the fringe orange-yellow; the underside of the primaries greenish-yellow, with a submar- 
ginal brown line extending from the apex to the inner margin, and a spot at the end of the cell and the
