Of this species we have received a long series from our region. It varies in the 
extent of the black markings on the wings. 
4. Conchylodes salamisalis, sp. n. (Tab. LXII. fig. 19.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries silky-hyaline-white ; the primaries with three short dark brown streaks partly 
crossing the wing from the costal margin, two broad brown bands crossing from the costal to the inner 
margin—the first near the base, the second beyond the middle,—a large dark brown spot close to the 
apex, and a submarginal fawn-coloured line extending from it to the anal angle, the fringe alternately 
dark brown and white; the secondaries with a fawn-coloured spot, with a fine black line on each side of 
it, at the end of the cell, below which a narrow black line partly crosses the wing, a black spot at the 
apex, from which a fawn-coloured line extends to the anal angle, the marginal line black, the fringe 
white: head, thorax, and abdomen yellowish-white, the latter with the third, fourth, and fifth segments 
black above, and the anus black; the legs black and white, the antenne brown.—Female. Very similar 
to the male. Expanse 1} inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Paso de San Juan in Vera Cruz (coll. Schaus); GuaTeMaLa, in the 
city (Rodriguez), San Isidro (Champion) ; Panama (Ribbe, in mus. Staudinger), Chiniqui 
(Trotsch, in mus. Staudinger ).— Ecuavor. 
Of this species, which is allied to C. (Lypotigris) diphteralis, Geyer, from the 
Antilles, I have seen five specimens only from within our limits; but from Ecuador I 
have received a large series, which show some slight variation in the distinctness of the 
markings. In some of the Ecuador specimens the fawn-coloured lines are entirely 
wanting. An example from San Isidro is figured.
