HETEROCERA. 327 
slightly hooked ; a narrow metallic line extends from the base along the costal margin, but not beyond 
the white band, one at the end of the cell, and several between it and the inner margin: head, thorax, 
and abdomen glossy black, as also the legs and antenne; the tegule orange-red. Expanse 2 inches. 
Hab. Mexico, Acapulco (J. J. Walker), Paso de San Juan in Vera Cruz (coll. 
Schaus*); GuatemMaa, Volcan de Santa Maria, Pacific Slope (Aichardson). 
This species is allied to A. (Agarista) radians, Feld., from which it may be at once 
distinguished by the white band on the primaries. 
4. Alypioides radians. 
Agarista radians, Feld. Reise der Novara, Lep. t. 107. fig. 9°. 
EKusemia radians, Boisd. Rev. et Mag. Zool. 1874, p. 105 °. 
Hab. Mexico 1, Cuernavaca in Morelos (H. H. Smith). 
The locality “ Moluques ” mentioned by Boisduval ? is clearly an error. 
ALYPIA (I. p. 35). 
1. Alypia disparata. (Tab. LXX. fig. 2,¢.) 
Alypia octomaculata, antea, i. p. 35 (nec Fabr.)*. 
Alypia disparata, H. Edwards, Papilio, iv. p. 13 2. 
To the Mexican localities given, add :—Atoyac in Vera Cruz (H. H. Smith, Schumann), 
State of Vera Cruz (Schaus ). 
The additional specimens received show that the Mexican insect is distinct from the 
North-American A. octomaculata (Fabr.). The females of the two species are very 
similar; but, as pointed out by Edwards’, the males are very different. It is 
probable that <A. disparata will have to be separated eventually from the genus 
Alypia. 
PHASIS (I. p. 36). 
Phasis tribuna (I. p. 36). 
Eusemia schausii, H. Edwards, Ent. Amer. iii. p. 90 (1887)'. 
To the localities given, add :—MeExico, State of Vera Cruz (Schaus 1). 
The late Henry Edwards, upon seeing my specimens of P. tribuna, informed me that 
his Eusemia schausiéi belonged to the same species. 
DARCETA (to follow the genus Phasis, I. p. 36). 
Darceta, Herrich-Schaffer, Samml. aussereur. Schmett. pp. 13, 71, 84 (1850-1858); Walker, 
Cat. xxxi. p. 1389 (1864). 
This genus is allied to Diamuna*, but differs from it in having the wings con- 
siderably shorter and the apex more pointed. 
* The genera Diamuna and Clitis, Walk. (antea, i. pp. 333-335), were incorrectly included by me in the 
family Noctuide: they really belong to the Agaristide, and should follow the genus Hecatesia in Vol. I. 
p. 36.
