sraall diffnse pinkish discocellnlar spot at lower angle of cell ceutreil with white ; 

 distal margin couvex. Hiudwiiig with black discoccllulur ring (diameter :51 to 

 4 luiu.) encircliug a greyish white spot. On nndeiside a whitish discocellular spot 

 encircled on both wings by a purplish or blackish ring, which is more or less diffuse 

 and smaller than the one on npperside of hindwing. 



Length of forewing : 30 to 38 mm.

11. Rhescyntis polyodonta sp. no v. 



c? ?. Near Jllmcyntis armida Cr. (ITTO), of which it may be the West Mexican 

 snlispecips. Similar to light-colonred specimens of that species, but the forewing 

 shorter and broader and the outer margin of the hindwing in S very obtusely 

 (tngulate and in ? almost evenly rounded. Forewing grey from base to brnwu 

 discal band ; antemedian line more distal than in A", armida, incurved in cell and 

 forming a ring with the discocellnlar bar ; discal line, which bounds the brown 

 discal band proximally, slightly excurved between costa and lower median, and 

 then incurved ; postdiscal whitish line sharply marked from costal to inner margins 

 and bordered for its whole length on the proximal side by a distinct blacldsh-brown 

 line ; the blackish outer border of the whitish line as in K. armida, with this 

 exception that it forms four large teeth between the isabella-colonred apical patch 



and the lower median vein. On the hindwing the discal line of the S is nearly 



]iarallel to the postdiscal triple line, while it is more straight in the ? ; the black 

 teeth of the postdiscal line much larger than in .1. armida. 



?. Paler than the S, the body and the distal marginal border of both wings 

 bnff; a costal streak at base of forewing black. 



Length of forewing : c?, 56 mm. ; ? , 56 to 66 mm. 



Ilab. West Mexico : Cnernavaca, September l'J04 (Dr. 11. Galow), Tena- 

 mastlan in Jalisco, .Tnly 1892 (Dr. Buller), and Guerrero (0. T. Baron); 1 6 and 

 4 ? ?. 



12. Rhescyntis sylla pelias subsp. nov. 



c? ? . Paler than /.'. «. sylla Cr. (1779) and hercides Walk. (1855). The huffish 

 white line bordering the brown discal band broader in both wings, which is esjiecially 

 noticeable at the costal margin of the forewing ; the marginal area as wide as in 

 hercules, being appreciably broader than in sylla. 



(?. Brown baud of forewing 13 mm. wide at lower median vein and the greyish 

 fawn costal area 2U mm. ; the walnut-brown streak situated below apex interrupted 

 at R' and the black patch between R' and R- nearly as large as in hercules, being 

 larger than in sylla. The fawn patches at outside of huffish white line less purplish 

 than in sylla and hercules. The tail shorter ; the brown band of the hindwing 

 15 mm. wide at the npper radial and the marginal area 14 mm. 



?. Nearly as bright clayish ochraceons as R. meander Walk. (ls.")."i). Brown 

 discal band of forewing 18 mm. broad at the lower median, the costal area 20 and 

 the marginal area 27 ; the black patch below apex very large. Brown band of 

 hindwing mm. broad at II' and the marginal area 22 mm.; the purplish i)ost- 

 discal patches large, followed by large tawny arcs.
