274 HETEROCERA. 
10. Cataclysta pulcherialis, sp.n. (Tab. LXII. fig. 16.) 
Primaries and secondaries silky-white; the primaries crossed from the costal to the inner margin by fine brown 
- ines, and with a wide pale yellow band crossing about the middle from the costal margin to the anal 
angle, where it joins a yellow marginal pand, on the inner side of which is a second yellow band; the 
secondaries crossed near the base by two brown lines, and with two fine waved lines below the middle 
extending from the costal to the inner margin, and a wide submarginal pale yellow band extending from 
the apex to the anal angle, the outer margin spotted with black: head, thorax, abdomen, and legs 
yellowish-white, the antenne pale brown. Expanse ? inch. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 feet (Rogers). 
One specimen, probably a female. 
11. Cataclysta darsanialis, sp.n. (Tab. LXIII. fig. 17.) 
Primaries and secondaries dark brown; the primaries irrorated with greyish scales near the base, pale yellow 
at the apex, with a submarginal metallic silvery line; the secondaries with some metallic spots along the 
outer margin; the fringe dark brown: head, thorax, and abdomen dark brown. Expanse 3 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Ribbe, in mus. Staudinger). 
One specimen, quite unlike any other species known to me. 
12. Cataclysta cronialis, sp. n. (Tab. LXIII. fig. 18, ¢ .) 
Male. Primaries pale greyish-brown; crossed about the middle from the costal to the inner margin by an 
indistinct waved pale brown line, and with two short white lines near the apex (somewhat in the form of 
a V), the outer margin and anal angle yellowish-brown, the fringe dark brown; secondaries dusky-white, 
partly crossed about the middle by a rather wide yellowish line, a row of small metallic spots edged with 
black on the outer margin extending from the apex to the middle, the fringe dark grey: head, thorax, 
and abdomen greyish.—Female. Very similar to the male, but paler and slightly larger. Expanse, ¢ 1,},, 
9 1,4; inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (MZ. Trujillo, Schaus). 
Numerous examples. The insect varies considerably in colour. 
13. Cataclysta cryptalis, sp.n. (Tab. LXIIZ. fig. 19, ¢.) 
Male. Primaries brown, crossed by zigzag white lines, the outer margin edged with white, the marginal line 
yellowish, the fringe dark brown ; secondaries brown, crossed in the middle by a wide dusky-white band, 
which is edged with brown and white lines, the marginal line yellow from the anal angle almost to the 
apex, where it joins a row of small metallic black-edged dots, the fringe greyish-brown : head, antenne, 
thorax, and abdomen brown.—Female. Very similar to the male, but generally larger and darker. 
Expanse, ¢ 1,3,, 9 13 inch. 
Hab. Muxtco, Jalapa (M. Trujillo), Coatepec (coll. Schaus); Costa Rica, Candelaria 
Mts. (Underwood); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
This species is not uncommon in Eastern Mexico. It varies slightly in colour, and 
in the distinctness of the white lines on the wings, these being almost obliterated in 
some specimens. We figure a male from Jalapa.
