between the veins, the anal angle rounded, the inner margin straight, the cell very broad and much 
shorter than in Samia; secondaries with the costal margin very much rounded to the apex, which is quite 
pointed, the outer margin deeply concave to the middle, then almost straight to the anal angle, dentated 
slightly between the veins, the inner margin slightly curved from the abdomen, the anal angle rounded. 
Type Metosamia godmani. 
Saturnia montezuma, Sallé, antea, i. p. 191, also belongs to this genus. 
1. Metosamia godmani. (Tab. LX XXIII. fig. 4, ¢.) 
Metosamia godmani, Druce, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) ix. p. 277°. 
Male. Primaries and secondaries uniform bright orange-brown ; the primaries with nearly two-thirds of the 
costal margin broadly edged with greyish-brown, thickly irrorated with white scales, a large white spot 
at the base close to the thorax, a large V-shaped white mark at the base of the cell, and a large hyaline 
oval spot at the end of the cell bordered with pale yellow and edged with a very fine black line, a pinkish- 
white line partly crossing the wing near the base, and a rather wide black submarginal line edged with 
pinkish-white scales extending from the costal margin near the apex to the inner margin just above the 
anal angle; the secondaries crossed below the middle from the costal margin to the anal angle by a black 
line corresponding to the one on the primaries, but only edged with pinkish-white scales from the end of 
the cell to the anal angle, and with a small hyaline spot at the end of the cell broadly bordered with pale 
yellow and edged with a rather wide black line, the black line on the inner side being divided into two 
by a narrow line of bluish-white scales; the underside reddish-brown, thickly irrorated round the outer 
margins and at the base of the secondaries with black and pinkish-white scales: head, front of the 
thorax, and base of the tegule greyish-brown, clothed with scattered white hairs; the rest of the thorax 
and tegula, the abdomen, and legs bright orange-brown ; the antennz pale yellowish-brown. Expanse 
7 inches. 
Hab. Mexico, Oaxaca (F. D. Godman?), Jalapa (M. Trujillo). 
A specimen of this grand insect was obtained by Mr. Godman during his visit to 
Mexico, and several others have since been received from the same country. Its 
differences from M. montezwma will be seen at once by a glance at our figures. 
2. Metosamia montezuma. (Tab. LXXXIV. fig. 3, ¢ ) 
Samia montezuma, antea, 1. p. 191. 
To the Mexican locality given, add:—Durango city (Becker). 
The female is very similar to the male. 
RHESCYNTIS (1. p. 191). 
1. Bhescyntis norax, sp.n. (Tab. LXXXIV. fig. 2, ¢.) 
Rhescyntis hippodamia, antea, i. p. 192 (part.) (nec Cram.). 
Male. Similar to R. hippodamia (Cram.), but with the bands crossing the wings in a different position, the outer 
margins of both primaries and secondaries much straighter, the pale submarginal line on the seeondaries 
angular (not rounded as in R. hippodamia), and the spots on the outer side of the submarginal pale line 
very much larger; the underside of the primaries with one brown line only (instead of two) crossing the 
wing. Expanse 7 inches. 
Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Trétsch, in mus. Staudinger). 
As this insect, of which I have now seen several specimens, seems to differ constantly 
from the southern R. hippodamia, I have given it a separate name.
