STEMMATOPHORA.—PYRALIS. 201 
(MM. Trujillo), Rio Papagaio in Guerrero (H. H. Smith); Guatemaua, San Gerdénimo, San 
Isidro (Champion) ; Costa Rica, Candelaria Mts. (Underwood).—Gutana (Whitely). 
A very dull-coloured species, varying considerably in size, and in the distinctness of 
the lines crossing the primaries—in some specimens they are almost obliterated, and in 
others very distinct. We figure a male from the Rio Papagaio. ‘The specimens 
collected by Mr. Whitely in British Guiana do not differ from those from our region. 
3. Stemmatophora (?) albopunctalis, sp. n. (Tab. LX. fig. 10, 2.) 
Female. Primaries and secondaries dark glossy brown, with the fringe of the same colour; the primaries 
crossed about the middle by a row of three white spots—the first on the costal margin, the second at the 
end of the cell, and the third on the inner margin,—and with a small round white dot in the middle of 
the cell; the underside paler than above, and without the white spots on the primaries: head, antenne, 
thorax, abdomen, and legs dark brown. Expanse 1 inch. 
Hab. Guatemata, Sabo, Panima, and San Gerénimo in Vera Paz (Champion). 
Three females.

2. Pyralis datames, sp.n. (Tab. LX. fig. 11.) 
Primaries very similar to those of P. glaueinalis, but with the yellow lines fainter and not widened-out on the 
costal margin as in that species; secondaries white, without lines: head, thorax, and abdomen pale 
brown, the antenne brown. Expanse 13 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme and Amula in Guerrero 6000 to 8000 feet (H. IT. Smith). 
This species may be at once distinguished from P. glaucinalis by the white 
secondaries. 
3. Pyralis decetialis, sp.n. (Tab. LX. fig. 12.) 
Primaries uniformly glossy pinkish brown ; secondaries pale silky grey, the outer margin and fringe rather 
darker; the underside very much as above: head, thorax, and abdomen pinkish-brown. Expanse 
1, inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (H. H. Smith). 
One specimen, apparently a female.
