No.1742. NEW LEPIDOPTERA FROM MEXICO DYAR. 259 



Allied to Pseudhapigia xolotl Schaus, but larger, darker and without 

 silvery scales on the discal marks, which are also further apart and 

 more obliquely placed. The antennae of the female have shorter 

 pectinations than in xolotl. 



I place this species in Pseudhapigia, although it might perhaps be 

 better placed in the next genus. The antennas are pectinated within 

 a few joints of the tip, while veins 3 and 4 of hind wing are approxi- 

 mate at origin or only slightly separated.

HAP1GIODES, new genus. 



Near Pseudhapigia Schaus, but veins 3 and 4 of hind wings apart 

 and the antennas pectinated on the basal two-thirds only. The genus 

 falls in Schaus's table with Colax Hubner, from which it is readily 

 separated by the prominent tooth on the inner margin of fore wing. 



Type of the genus. — Hapigia xolotl Schaus.

 Pseudhapigia xolotl Schaus, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., L901, p. 343. 



This species has hitherto been known only from females. The type 

 was a female from Coatepec, Mexico, and there are before me three 

 other females from Paso San Juan, State of Vera Cruz. Lately, how- 

 ever, a male has been obtained by Mr. Schaus on the Sixola River in 

 Costa Rica. 



HAPIGIODES FREDERICA, new species. 



Head and thorax rusty brown; abdomen blackish gray. Fore wing 

 rusty brown at the base to beyond the tooth on inner margin, lilacine 

 shaded beyond; subbasal line erect on inner margin, black, slender, 

 pale-edged within; inner line similar, forming arcs on the veins, the 

 points inward, pale-edged without; discal marks, orbicular and reni- 

 form, approximate, oblique, dark brown; outer line straight, narrow, 

 dark without, pale within, bent on vein 1 ; subterminal line blackish, 

 forming a series of loops between the veins, marked with silvery scales 

 at apex. Hind wing whitish, a little soiled with fuscous. Expanse, 

 54 mm. 



One male, Cordoba, Mexico, February 17, 1908 (F. Knab). 



Type.— C&t. Xo. 13012, l.S.X.M. 



Easily distinguished from its allies by the wing shape, the outer 

 margin being prominent at veins 5 and (>, straight or slightly concave 

 below, the tooth on inner margin very large, very much as in Hapigia 

 accipiter Schaus, though the species is smaller.
