9. Trochiodes(?) crossa, sp.n. (Tab. LVIII. fig. 22.) 
Female, Primaries black, crossed beyond the middle by an oblique semihyaline wide white band, which does 
not reach either margin, and with a semihyaline white spot near the apex ; secondaries semihyaline-white, 
broadly bordered with black, the veins all black; the underside whiter than above: head, antenne, thorax, 
and legs black (abdomen wanting). Expanse 1,3, inch.

One specimen. This species is quite unlike any other known to me. 
Subfam. EMPLOCIINA. 
EMPLOCIA. 
Emplocia, Herrich-Schiffer, Samml. aussereur. Schmett. p. 81 (1850-58) ; Guenée, Sp. gén. des 
Lép. x. p. 531; Walker, Cat. xxv. p. 1472. 
This genus is represented in our region by five species, four of which are described 
as new. 
1. Emplocia primulina. 
Emplocia primulina, Butl. & Druce, Cist. Ent. i. p. 118°; Butl. Lep. Exot. p. 178, t. 61. fig. 3”. 
Hab. GuateMaua, Purula, San Gerdnimo, Duefias, Capetillo, Zapote, Cerro Zunil 
4000 to 5000 feet (Champion), Volcan de Santa Maria, Pacific Slope (Richardson) ; 
Costa Rica, Cartago 1? (Van Patten, in mus. D.). 
This species is well figured by Mr. Butler?. We have a very large series of it from 
Guatemala. 
2. Emplocia potentia, sp.n. (Tab. LVIII. fig. 23.) 
Male. Primaries black, with an elongated yellow spot extending from the base to about the middle ; secondaries 
yellow, broadly bordered with black on the costal margin, apex, and outer margin; the fringe black; the 
underside resembling that of HZ. primulina, Butl. & Druce, but blacker: head, antenne, and thorax black ; 
abdomen black, banded with yellow; collar and tegule yellow. Expanse 1,); inch. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Rio Sucio (Rogers). 
Allied to E. primulina, but smaller and with less yellow on the wings, and the 
primaries without the yellow apical band. Only two specimens have been received. 
3. Emplocia cynaxa, sp.n. (Tab. LVIII. figg. 24, 25.) 
Primaries and secondaries bright yellow ; the primaries with the costal margin from the base to the middle 
narrowly edged with black, from the middle to the apex broadly bordered with black, the inner margin 
from the base to the anal angle and the outer margin also broadly bordered with black, the fringe black ; 
the secondaries with the costal margin, apex, part of the inner margin, and the anal angle broadly 
bordered with black; the underside of the primaries paler than above, that of the secondaries cream- 
colour, with the base carmine-red: head, antenne, thorax, abdomen, and legs black, the collar carmine. 
Expanse 1,3, inch. 
Hab. Guaremaa, Quiché Mountains 9000 feet (Champion). 
One specimen. This species somewhat resembles Josia ligata from the same region.
