NATURAL SCIENCES OF PHILADELPHIA. 341 



tinged with orange towards the costa ; a terminal brown line as on the fore 

 wings; a narrow discal bar, a broad belt across the middle of the cell, con- 

 nected above with two equally broad spots, b >th extending to the costal 

 nervure, and commingling below with the dark abdominal shades ; an irregu- 

 lar tnmsverse band, twice bent at right angles near its middle, beyond the 

 cell, extending from the first subcostal veinlet to the submedian vein ; all 

 dark brown ; expanse 2-5 inches. 



Underneath the primaries are ochreons, paler towards the outer margin, 

 and with au ashy apical spot ; the markings of the upper surface are almost 

 obsolete. 



Secondaries dull orange brown; markings as above, but very indistinct; 

 the abdominal and apical areas are strewn with ashy atoms. 



Antennae black, ochraceous beneath. 



Hah. " Mexico, near Vera Cruz." W. H.Edwards. 



This, most beautiful as well as one of the largest species of its genus, does 

 not assimilate closely with any of its associates. 



I have many other new species ot this genus, which I hope to figure at 

 some future time ; it is impossible to describe them. 



At the time that I wrote the " Notes upon Exotic Lepidoptera," &c, I had 

 had no opportunity of consulting any of Dr. Folder's numerous writings in 

 the " Wiener Entom. Monatschrift." I have now to regret having redesoribed 

 several of his species; an error which, however unfortunate, from uselessly 

 multiplying difficulties in the correct determination of species, is scarcely to 

 be avoided when two Entomologists are working upon the same subject at the 

 same time. I append their corrected nomenclature, together with some other 

 synouymical reciificatious.
