96 HETEROCERA. 
Chiriqui specimens agree very nearly with Snellen’s figure; some of them are darker 
than others. 
2. Ophthalmophora mela, sp.n. (Tab. L. figg. 16, ; 17, 2.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries pale greyish-fawn-colour, very thickly irrorated with silvery scales; the 
primaries with a submarginal orange-yellow line extending from the costal margin to the inner margin 
close to the anal angle, and bordered on the inner side with silvery scales, and with a large round ocellus 
at the end of the cell—black, bordered with orange-yellow, and with a central silvery spot ; the secondaries 
with a submarginal silvery line and a row of marginal black dots edged with silvery scales; the fringe 
pale greyish-fawn-colour ; the underside pale silky greyish-white, without markings, the fringe pale 
greyish-brown : head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, and legs pale greyish-white. The female very similar 
to the male, but much less irrorated with silvery scales, the submarginal line on the primaries more 
waved, the secondaries darker, and the underside yellower in tint. Expanse, ¢ 13, 2 13 inch. 
Hab. Guatemaua (Conradt, in mus. Staudinger); Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de 
Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion).—Ecuapor. 
Allied to 0. prospectata (Snellen), from which it may be easily distinguished by the 
larger ocellus at the end of the cell on the primaries. The specimens from Ecuador in 
my own collection are rather darker in colour than those from Central America. Our 
figures are taken from Chiriqui specimens. 
3. Ophthalmophora alba, sp.n. (Tab. L. fig. 21, 3.) 
Mule. Primaries and secondaries pure white ; the primaries with a rather large ocellus at the end of the cell 
black, edged with orange-yellow and metallic gold, and a submarginal metallic gold line edged on the 
inner side with very pale yellow extending from the costal margin to the anal angle; the secondaries 
with a wide straight silvery line crossing from the apex to the anal angle, below which on the outer 
margin are two small black spots edged on the inner side with silvery scales; the fringe brown; the 
underside pure white, without markings: head, thorax, and abdomen white, the antenne and legs pale 
brown. The female very similar to the male, but slightly larger. Kxpanse, g 14, 2 14 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Valladolid in Yucatan (Gaumer). 
We have only received one pair of this very distinct species.

The single specimen ( @ ) received from Chiriqui is brighter in colour than the figure 
of Felder and Rogenhofer, and has the underside bright orange-yellow, with the outer 
margins slightly clouded with brown. Butler ¢ also gives “ Limas ” as a locality.
