LARENTIA.—HETERUSIA. 151 
4. Larentia (?) conica, sp.n. (Tab. LV. fig. 16, 3.) 
Male. Primaries reddish-fawn-colour, clouded with black beyond the middle, and with a yellowish-brown 
spot on the costal margin near the apex; secondaries very pale fawn-colour, darker at the apex and 
round the outer margin, a small black spot at the end of the cell; the fringe reddish-brown: head, 
antenne, thorax, and abdomen brown, the legs dark brown. Expanse 14 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Las Vigas (coll. Schaus). 
One worn specimen. I place this species in the genus Larentia with considerable 
doubt. 
5. Larentia (?) plautilla, sp.n. (Tab. LV. fig. 17, 3.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries pale brown; the primaries crossed from the costal to the inner margin by 
two fine waved dark brown lines—the first nearest the base, the second beyond the middle,—and with a 
small black dot at the end of the cell; the secondaries crossed about the middle by a very faint brown 
line; the fringe brown; the underside paler than above, entirely without markings: head, antenna, 
thorax, abdomen, and legs pale brown. Expanse 12 inch. 
Hab. Guatemata (Conradt, in mus. Staudinger). 
_ One specimen. 
HETERUSIA. 
Heterusia, Geyer, in Hiibner’s Zutr. Samml. exot. Schmett. iv. p. 7, figg. 603, 604 (18382). 
Scordylia, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 383 (1857) ; Walker, Cat. xxiv. p. 1274. 
Walker, in his Catalogue, included seventeen species in this exclusively Tropical 
American genus, and many others have since been added by various authors. It is 
represented in our region by ten species, one of which I have described as new. 
Guenée and Walker apparently overlooked Hiibner’s name, as it is not mentioned by 
either of them.

The numerous specimens of this species before me show considerable variation 
in the length and width of the black streak on the secondaries.
