3. Porpe pelinobasis, sp.n. (Tab. IX. fig. 16.) 
Antennae faintly annulate with brown and whitish. Palpi mixed brown and brownish creamy. Heud and 
Thorax brownish creamy, the latter smeared with brown. Forewings with a brownish creamy basal 
patch to nearly one-fourth, wider on the dorsum than on the costa; this is followed by a dark brown 
transverse band, wider on the costa than on the dorsum, containing a few spots of dark fuscous ‘scales ; 
an iridescent cupreous metallic streak from the costa, a small cupreous spot at its outer edge near the 
costa, and a reddish cupreous spot at its outer edge on the lower margin of the cell ; a brownish creamy 
band, much speckled with fuscous succeeds it, containing the usual dark-margined metallic dot in its 
upper half, and the usual geminate black patch, obliquely divided by an ochreous line, with metallic lines 
in the black on either side above the tornus; a dark brown, outwardly curved band, margined by a 
cupreous metallic line, precedes a dull olivaceous ochreous apical and partially terminal band, beyond 
which the brownish cilia are dusted, especially along their base, with brownish creamy. Exp.al. 14mm. 
Hindwings and cilia dull cinereous, the former much shaded, especially toward the apex and termen, 
with brownish fuscous, the latter with two shade-lines. Abdomen dull brownish cinereous. Legs 
brownish creamy, with brown annulations on tibiae and tarsi.

Hab. GUATEMALA: SACATEPEQUEZ: Volcan de Agua, 8500-10,500 ft., 13. I. 1881 
(G. C. Champion). Unique. 
Near Jeucobasis Frnld., but with the basal patch distinctly darker—less white. 
4. Porpe enantia, sp. n. 
Antennae annulate black and white. Palpi with mixed brownish fuscous and whitish scales. Head fusecous, 
dusted with whitish. Thorax fuscous. Porewings with a white basal patch reaching to one-fifth, 
scarcely convex outwardly, and with a slight dusting of fuscous; beyond this is an ochreous brown 
band, wider on the costa than on the dorsum, containing much fuscous shading, especially on the dorsum 
and on its outer edge at the costa—also containing, before its middle, a straight steel-bluish metallic 
streak, arising from a few white scales on the costa, bent, outward toward a small metallic spot on 
the lower edge of the cell; a similar spot lies at the outer edge of the band near the costa, and is 
followed by two small white costal spots, bounding the upper edge of a broader transverse whitish band, 
much streaked and speckled with fuscous, and including, first, a dark-margined metallic dot on the upper 
edge of the cell, and secondly a geminate black patch above the fold, reaching nearly to the tornus, 
and containing lines of metallic scales on either side of an ochreous line, which separates the two sides of 
the patch obliquely ; beyond is an outwardly curved, narrow, dark brownish band, margined externally 
toward the apex by a steel-blue metallic line separating it from an ochreous apical patch, narrowly 
produced downward along the termen, and bounded by a black line at the base of the fuscous cilia, which 
are sparsely sprinkled with white. Zap. al. 11-12 mm. Hindwings in the ¢ bluish white, with a 
plackish border, widest at the apex and tapering nearly to the flexus; in the 2 white, but almost 
entirely suffused with dark brownish fuscous; cilia fuscous, touched with white along their middle and 
at their tips. Abdomen blackish, with some white along the edges of the segments. Legs white, with 
blackish annulations on tibiae and tarsi.

Hab. Mexico: vera cruz: Cordova, XII-III. 1908 (Ff. Knab). Seven specimens. 
Allied to schausiella Busck, but, unlike that species, having always a more or less 
clearly defined white basal patch, beyond which the first dark band is somewhat 
broader.
