ACROTOMTA. 49 
edge of the costal margin close to the apex white,—that of the secondaries orange-yellow, irrorated along 
the costal margin with brown, and with a black dot at the end of the cell: head, thorax, and abdomen 
above yellowish-olive-colour, beneath and the legs orange-yellow, the antenne brown. Expanse 
12 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Trétsch, in mus. Staudinger). 
One specimen. 
6. Acrotomia minucia, sp. n. (Tab. XLV. figg. 21,6; 22, 2.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries pale brownish-grey, irrorated with grey ; the primaries crossed from the apex 
to the middle of the inner margin by a reddish-brown line, this line extending across the middle of the 
secondaries, both wings with a submarginal waved white line, the fringe grey; the underside pale yellow, 
irrorated with brown scales, both wings with a rather wide submarginal dark brown line (which is not 
nearly so broad in some specimens as in others), the primaries with three small white spots close to the 
apex: head, thorax, abdomen, and legs pale fawn-colour, the antenne brown.— Female. Primaries and 
secondaries pinkish-fawn-colour, slightly irrorated with brown scales, both wings crossed from the costal 
to the inner margin by a wide greyish band, which is thickly irrorated with black, and has black lines on 
either side, the band on the primaries extending from the middle of the wing to the apex and widened 
towards the costal and inner margins, the fringe fawn-colour; the underside very similar to that of the 
male, but in some specimens the submarginal brown band on the secondaries is wanting. Expanse, 5 2, 
1,2; inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Riimeli), Coatepec (coll. Schaus, Brooks), Atoyac in Vera Cruz 
(H. H. Smith); Panama, Chiriqui (Ridée, in mus. Staudinger).—Ecuapor. 
This insect varies considerably on the underside, not only in colour but in the extent 
of the submarginal brown band. 
We figure a pair from Chiriqui.

margin, both wings crossed by two fine waved brown lines, the fringe brown; the underside reddish-brown, 
the primaries crossed from the apex to the inner margin by a dark brown line: head, thorax, abdomen, 
antenne, and legs mouse-colour. Expanse 1,5, inch. 
Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Zrétsch, in mus. Staudinger). 
One specimen. 
8. Acrotomia (?) nisa, sp.n. (Tab. XLV. fig. 24, 3.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries very pale fawn-colour, crossed from the costal to the inner margin by a wide 
pale yellow band, which is edged on either side with a fine brown line, and with a submarginal waved 
brown line, the secondaries with a very distinct black spot at the end of the cell, the fringe yellowish- 
brown; the underside pale brownish-white, the primaries with a submarginal waved brown line: head,
