150 HETEROCERA. 
Hab. Mexico, Atoyac in Vera Cruz (H. H. Smith); GuaremaLa, Volcan de Atitlan 
2500 feet (Champion). | | 
Two specimens, both males. This insect is not like any other species known to me. 
We figure the example from Atoyac. 
LARENTIA. 
Larentia, Treitschke, Schmett. Europ. vi. 2, p. 75 (1828) ; Walker, Cat. xxiv. p. 1169. 
Walker included eighty-four species in this genus from all parts of the world. 
Larentia, so far as we know at present, is poorly represented in Tropical America, two 
species only having been described from that region. We now add five species from 
within our limits, two of which are doubtfully placed in the genus. 
1. Larentia columella, sp. n. (Tab. LV. figg. 12, ¢; 13, 2.) 
Male. Primaries pale brownish-fawn-colour, irrorated with white scales, with a black dot at the end of the 
cell, several indistinct waved whitish lines crossing near the base from the costal to the inner margin, 3 
wide white line crossing beyond the middle, and a fine waved white submarginal line extending from 
the apex to the anal angle; secondaries creamy-white, the marginal line brownish-fawn-colour ; the 
fringe greyish-brown; the underside white, very thickly irrorated with reddish-fawn-colour: head, 
antenne, and thorax pale brown, the abdomen greyish-brown, the legs pale brown.—Female very similar 
to the male, but more distinctly marked, especially on the secondaries. Expanse, ¢ 17, 9 14%) inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Milpas in Durango 5900 feet (Forrer), Las Vigas (coll. Schaus). 
Two specimens ; the male is contained in Mr. Schaus’s collection. 
2. Larentia core, sp.n. (Tab. LV. fig. 14, 3.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries semihyaline-white; the primaries thickly irrorated with greyish-brown 
scales, and crossed beyond the middle by two waved white lines—the first slightly tinged with yellow; 
the secondaries with their outer half thickly irrorated with greyish-brown scales ; the fringe alternately 
grey and white; the underside almost white: head white, the antenne brown, the thorax and abdomen 
grey. Expanse 14 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Las Vigas (coll. Schaus). 
One specimen. 
3. Larentia polimela, sp.n. (Tab. LV. fig. 15, ¢.) 
Male. Primaries very pale greyish-fawn-colour, the secondaries a little paler in colour; the primaries crossed 
about the middle by a wide darker band which extends from the costal to the inner margin, and with a 
small black dot at the end of the cell, and a very faint submarginal greyish line; the fringe pale grey: 
head, antenne, thorax, and abdomen greyish-brown, the underside of the abdomen greyish-white. Expanse 
14 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Amecameca in Morelos (fF. D. G.), Las Vigas (coll. Schaus). 
Mr. Godman captured eight males of this insect in April 1888; the female is 
unknown to me.
