from south of the State of Panama. The locality of Walker’s type is not stated’. 
TROCHIODES. 
Trochiodes, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 580 (1857). 
Odezia, Herrich-Schiaffer, Samml. aussereur. Schmett. p. 81. 
Guenée founded this genus upon an insect supposed to have come from Brazil. 
1. Trochiodes hzemataria. 
Erateina hemataria, Herr.-Schaff. Samml. aussereur. Schmett. p. 65, figg. 320, 321°; Walk. Cat. 
XV. p. 1471. 
Odezia hemataria, Herr.-Schaff. loc, cit. p. 81°. 
Hab. Mextco1?2; Guatemata, Totonicapam 8500 to 10,500 feet, Quiché Mountains 
7000 to 9000 feet (Champion). 
Our specimens are not nearly so red on the underside of the secondaries as Herrich- 
Schaffer’s figure ; they vary in colour, some examples being much paler than others. 
2. Trochiodes polyxena, sp. n. (Tab. LVIII. figg. 14, 15.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries black, each with a rather large central white spot—that on the primaries oval 
at the end of the cell and extending downwards, that on the secondaries deeply dentated on the outer 
edge,—the fringe of the primaries black, of the secondaries white from the apex to the middle of the outer 
margin, then black to the anal angle; the underside as above, but with the primaries crossed near the 
apex from the costal to the outer margin by a rather wide white band, and the secondaries with all the 
veins white: head, antenn, thorax, and abdomen black, the abdomen banded with fine white lines, the 
collar and underside of the thorax orange-yellow. Expanse 17 inch. 
Hab. Guaremata, Calderas 7000 feet (Champion). 
Allied to 7. hemataria, Herr.-Schaff. The three specimens received do not show any 
variation. 
3. Trochiodes lithosiata. | 
Trochiodes lithosiata, Guen. Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 530, Phalén. t. 22. fig. 2; Walk. Cat. xxv. 
p. 1472”. 
Hab. Muxico, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (H. H. Smith).—? Braziu’. 
The three specimens captured by Mr. Herbert Smith agree fairly well with Guenée’s 
figure, which is not a very good one.
