The specimens from Panama and Colombia agree with the Type in the number and 
position of the markings, but they are distinctly smaller, and the greater predominance 
of the sprinkling of white scales along the margins of the darker spaces, especially 
above the tornus, give them a somewhat different appearance ; the basal patch may 
perhaps be said to be somewhat less bent on its outer edge, but the Type being unique 
it would be rash to regard the Central American form as more than a geographical 
subspecies which may be known as isthmia, var. n. [an sp.n.?] Sixteen specimens.

10. Hemerophila xutholopa, sp.n. (Tab. IX. fig. 20.) 
Antennae biciliate 1 in the 3; blackish, barred with white on the basal half above. Palpi tawny brownish 
grey above; white beneath. Head and Thorax tawny brownish grey ; the latter white beneath. Fore- 
wings tawny brownish grey, minutely speckled with rosy whitish scales—these are mainly distributed in 
two slightly outwardly curved and diffused transverse bands, the first at one-fourth, the second about 
the middle, and in a small costal patch before the apex ; the termen and apex are narrowly pale orange- 
yellow, and before the margin a waved and angulate band of the same straggles across the wing, sending 
inward toward the base, first a short straight dash below the costa, margined by a few black scales, 
secondly a wide bow opposite the middle of the termen, and thirdly a short oblique dash from near the 
tornus ; cilia black at the base, shining silvery at their tips. Exp. al. 14 mm. Hindwings orange- 
yellow, with a tawny grey streak from the base below the cell, and another, near the limbus, not quite 
reaching the flexus; before and parallel to the termen is a rather broad blackish band; cilia tawny grey. 
Abdomen dull greyish ochreous, white beneath. Legs tawny grey, with white bands.

Hab. Mexico: taBasco: Teapa III. (H. H. Smith). Unique. 
This species differs from contrariana Wkr. in its yellow hindwings, but in the pattern 
and colouring of the forewings it is almost precisely similar.
