dark fuscous between larger, ill-defined and partly confluent blotches of the same—of these there are 
four costal, one, small, near the base, the others gradually inereasing in size until the fourth, which 
encroaches on the costal cilia and is produced on its outer edge to the termen above the tornus; others 
less clearly defined lie between the cell and the fold, the outer one being on the dorsum, with a smaller 
one at the end of the cell above and beyond it; broken shades of the same eolour run through the whitish 
cinereous terminal and apieal cilia. Hap.al. 16mm. Hindwings and cilia greyish brown. Abdomen 
greyish brown. Legs pale greyish brown, the tibiae strongly hairy; the hind tarsi with four whitish 
cinereous annulations. 
Type 3 (66793) Mus. Wlsm. (Godm-Salv. Coll.) BM. 
Hab. Mexico: GUERRERO: Amula, 6000 ft., VIII. (4. H. Smith). Unique. 
7. Amydria taracta, sp.n. (Tab. X. fig. 19.) 
Antennae greyish brown. Palpi fawn-ochreous ; median joint roughly clothed, tufted beneath ; terminal joint 
nearly as long as median, smooth. Head and Thorax dark fawn-brown. orewings cinereous, evenly 
mottled and sprinkled with dark fawn-brown and dark brownish fuscous sealing, to the almost entire 
obliteration of the paler ground-colour; there is no describable pattern, but the fuscous scaling tends 
to form an outwardly oblique band from near the base of the costa to below the fold, and another band 
at about, one-fourth from the base, reaching nearly to the dorsum, thence tending outward, recrossing 
the fold and reverting to the costa before the apex; cilia brownish cinereous, mottled and sprinkled 
with dark fawn-brown. Exp.al.19 mm. Hindwings and cilia greyish brown. Leys pale fawn-brown, 
the tarsi with darker annulations.

Hab. GUATEMALA, SACATEPEQUEZ: Zapote, 2000 ft., V-VI. 1879 (G. C. Champion). 
Unique. 
8. Amydria anceps, sp. n. 
Antennae whitish ochreous, Palpi brush-like beneath, the terminal joint slender, erect, shorter than the 
median, but reaching as high as the base of the antennae ; whitish ochreous, stained beneath with 
greyish fuscous. Head rough ; whitish ochreous. Zhorav whitish ochreous, with greyish fuscous 
patches on the tegulae. Forewings slightly widening outwardly, costa evenly arched, apex obtusely 
rounded, termen oblique; whitish ochreous, profusely speckled with dark umber scales, especially on 
the edges of a series of confluent pale mouse-grey mottlings, which, commencing at the base of the 
costa, dip obliquely to the fold, and thence revert to the costa at one-fourth, forming a more connected 
band which dips again obliquely, and is angulate on the fold, at less than half the wing-length, thence 
reverting to the costa beyond the middle, after throwing out an excrescence at the end of the cell; 
there is a costal spot half-way between the two points of contact, and a series of costal spots of the 
same colour, to the number of about four, on the outer half of the wing, repeated, but less distinctly, 
on the termen where they extend through the otherwise pale ochreous cilia. Hep. al, 21 mm. Hind- 
wings broader fhan the forewings; pale brownish grey ; cilia the same. Abdomen pale brownish grey. 
Legs whitish ochreous.

Hab. Mexico: Guerrero: Amula, 6000 ft., 1X. (H. H. Smith). Two specimens. 
9, Amydria meridionalis, sp.n. (Tab. X. fig. 21.) 
Antennae slightly ciliate ; brownish cinereous, barred with fuscous. Palpi short, erect ; median joint thickly 
tufted, terminal smooth, reaching as high as the crown; brownish cinereous, shaded with fuscous 
externally. Head and Thorax brownish. forewings brownish cinereous, somewhat suffused with tawn- 
brown, blotched and speckled with dark fuscous ; three spots on the basal half of the costa form the 
upper edge of a broken triangular patch, the apex of which crosses the cell to the fold; a similar, but
