fig. 58 (gd )’. 
Hab. Norta America, California!.—Mexico, Sierra Madre de Tepic (Richardson),

RACHEOSPILA. 
Racheospila, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 372 (1857) ; Walker, Cat. xxii. p. 581. 
The species of this genus are chiefly Tropical American; fifteen are now recorded 
from within our limits. 
1. Racheospila albociliaria. 
Geometra albociliaria, Herr.-Schaff. Samml. aussereur. Schmett. pp. 62, 82, fig. 344 (9). 
Racheospila albociliaria, Guen. Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 873 (?)?; Walk. Cat. xxii. p. 582°. 
Hab. Guatemata, Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 feet, Panima in Vera Paz 
(Champion); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion), Chiriqui 
(Zrétsch, in mus. Staudinger).—VENEZUELA 1 23, 
The specimen from the Volcan de Atitlan is much more heavily spotted than any of 
the others before me, and comes very close to R. morbilliata, Feld. & Rogenh. (Reise 
der Novara, Lep. t. 127. fig. 16), from Brazil. Some of the examples from the Volcan 
de Chiriqui are almost without spots. This species varies greatly in size, as well as in 
the distinctness of the markings. 
2. Racheospila arycanda, sp.n. (Tab. XLIX. fig. 21, ¢.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries pale semihyaline-bluish-green, thickly irrorated with white spots and streaks, 
more especially towards the outer and inner margins; the underside greenish-white, without distinct 
markings: head and abdomen white, the thorax greenish-white, the antenne and legs pale brown. 
Expanse 13 inch. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Rio Sucio (Rogers). 
One specimen. Allied to FR. stagonata, Feld. & Rogenh., from Colombia, but of a 
paler green colour and much more thickly irrorated with white. 
8. Racheospila athena, sp.n. (Tab. XLIX. fig. 22, ¢.) 
Mule. Primaries and secondaries pale semihyaline-green, thickly irrorated with white, the primaries with the — 
end of the cell and a large patch near the apex clear white, the secondaries with the base and apex 
broadly white, the fringe white; the underside pinkish-white, without markings: head and thorax 
green ; abdomen greenish-white, with three small brown tufts on the middle segments above, the base 
green ; legs whitish ; antennz pale fawn-colour. Expanse 12 inch, 
Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Trétsch, in mus. Staudinger). 
One specimen. Closely allied to R. arycanda, but differing from it in having a large 
patch near the apex of both wings, and the base also of the secondaries, clear white.
