1. Cidaria polyphonta, sp.n. (Tab. LVI. figg. 1, 3; 4, ¢ .) 
Male. Primaries dark sage-green, crossed from the costal to the inner margin by five reddish-brown waved 
bands, a wide white band crossing beyond the middle but not reaching the outer margin, two pinkish 
spots near the anal angle, and a row of small white dots along the outer margin, the marginal line dark 
brown, the fringe brown, whitish near the anal angle; secondaries uniformly greyish-black, the fringe 
pale brown ; the underside dusky-brown, with a white band on the primaries as above: head and thorax 
green, the upperside of the abdomen brown, the antenne and palpi black, the underside of the abdomen 
and the legs pale brown.— Female. Very similar to the male, but the primaries with the white band 
more broken into spots and with a very distinct white dot close to the inner margin. Expanse, ¢ 2, 
Q 2,45 inches. . 
Hab. Muxico, Coatepec (coll. Schaus); Costa Rica, Volcan de Trazu 6000 feet 
(Rogers). 
I have only seen two specimens of this fine species—a male from Costa Rica and a 
female from Eastern Mexico. 
2. Cidaria (?) prema, sp.n. (Tab. LVI. fig. 5, ¢.) 
Male. Primaries pale greenish-brown, crossed by darker greenish-brown bands, the costal margin with six 
somewhat V-shaped black marks which are edged with white, a submarginal waved white line extending 
from the costal margin near the apex to the anal angle, a black streak at the apex, joining a large bluish- 
grey spot below it on the outer margin, a row of small black spots crossing the wing beyond the middle, 
and a white spot on the inner margin, the marginal line black, the fringe alternately black and greenish- 
white ; secondaries grey, darker round the outer margin from the apex to the anal angle, and with two 
faint waved dark grey lines—the first, beyond the middle, extending from the costal to the inner margin, 
the second submarginal, extending from the apex to the anal angle,—the fringe alternately black and 
greenish-white ; the underside greyish, with the black markings very much as above, but much more 
distinct on the secondaries: head white, the antenne and palpi black, the thorax and tegule pale 
greenish-brown, the abdomen and legs brownish-grey. Expanse 1? inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Las Vigas (coll. Schaus). 
One specimen. Mr. Schaus informs me that this species is common at Las Vigas. 
3. Cidaria (2?) pomponia, sp.n. (Tab. LVI. figg. 6, ¢; 7, 2.) 
Male. Primaries pale green, crossed before the end of the cell by a wide blackish-brown band, beyond which 
are two large patches of the same colour—the first near the apex, the second close to the anal angle,—a 
streak at the end of the cell and two small spots beyond it white, the marginal line spotted with dark 
brown; secondaries yellowish-white, the fringe yellowish: head and thorax green, the abdomen 
yellowish-white.—emale. Similar to the male, but with the markings on the primaries smaller and 
more distinct ; the underside of the primaries pale yellow, with the costal margin and apex greenish, 
and the black markings as above, but not so distinct,—that of the secondaries brownish-grey, thickly 
irrorated with brown scales, and crossed beyond the middle by two faint brown lines. Expanse, ¢ 13, 
2 1,4 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Milpas in Durango 5900 feet (Forrer), Real del Monte in Hidalgo 
(M. Trujillo). 
Three males and one female, the males all in poor condition.
