OPHTHALMOPHORA. 97 
Felder and Rogenhofer ! describe the male of this species, and also give a figure of 
the female. 
A male from the Volcan de Atitlan is shown on our Plate. 
6. Ophthalmophora asopis, sp. n. (Tab. L. figg. 19, ¢ ; 20, 2.) 
Male. Closely allied to O. limboguttata (Feld. & Rogenh.), from which it differs in its larger size, and also in 
the following particulars :—The dark patches are not irrorated with white, the ocellus on the secondaries is 
much more distinct, and the yellow band crossing the primaries is much wider and of a brighter yellow. 
Expanse, ¢ 1p;, 9 13 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Ribbe, in mus. Staudinger), Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 
3000 feet (Champion). 
The dark brown patches on the wings and its larger size sufficiently distinguish 
O. asopis from O. limboguttata ; the differences between the females of the two species 
will be best understood by a comparison of the figures. 0. limboguttata seems to be 
restricted to Mexico and Guatemala, and O. asopis to Chiriqui; we have received a 
good series of each of them. 
7. Ophthalmophora aspledon, sp. n. (Tab. L. fig. 22, 2.) 
Female. Primaries dark yellowish-brown, the costal margin, apex, and outer margin, and also a spot at the 
anal angle, orange-yellow, an indistinct metallic line crossing the wing near the apex ; secondaries orange- 
yellow, thickly irrorated with dark brown scales, the base dark brown, the darker colour being edged on 
the outer side with a line of golden scales, a submarginal row of minute metallic spots extending from 
the apex to the anal angle, and a small black ocellus close to the apex; the underside pale yellow, the 
apex and outer margin of the primaries shaded with brown ; the fringe orange-yellow: head, thorax, and 
antenne yellowish-brown ; the abdomen orange-yellow above, pale yellow beneath; legs pale yellow. 
Expanse 1 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (2. H. Smith). 
One specimen. Allied to 0. limboguttata (Feld. & Rogenh.).

A common insect at Coatepec, according to Mr. Schaus. We have received a good 
series of it from the Volcan de Chiriqui. Mexican specimens are generally paler than 
those from more southern localities.
