NO. 2046. THE GENERA PALTNDIA AND DY03IYX—DYAR. 115 



DYOMYX GUENEI Bar. 

 Dyomix guenei Bar, Ann. Soc. Ent. France (5), vol. 6, 1876, p. 442. 

 This is not before me. Bar's figure seems excellent. 



DYOMYX MEGALOPS Guenee. 



Dyomyx megalops Guenee, Spec. Gen., vol. 6, 1852, p. 282. 



I have not seen specimens. Guenee's figure is very sketchy, but 

 probably recognizable. 



DYOMYX JANUS Bar. 

 Dyomix janus Bar, Ann. Soc. Ent. France (5), vol. 6, 1876, p. 441. 

 Not known to me in nature. 



DYOMYX OCALA Schaus. 



Dyomyx ocala Schaus, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8), vol. 7, 1911, p. 61. 



The male type is before me. Mr. Schaus had associated with it 

 another specmien as the female, but I consider this specimen to belong 

 to the next species. 



DYOMYX EGISTOIDES Bar. 

 Dyomix egistoides Bar, Ann. Soc. Ent. France (5), yol. 6, 1876, p. 440. 

 A single female from Costa Rica is before me, agreeing well with 

 Bar's characterization. It is mentioned above under ocala. 



DYOMYX HERBERTA, new species. 



Dyomyx lineata Druce male (not female), Biol. Cent.-Amer., Lep. Het., 1889 

 pi. 29, fig. 24. 



Brown, with faint purple irridescence over whole of fore wing, 

 very faint on hindwing; lines slender, straight; subbasal half line, 

 to vein 1, parallel to inner line, which runs from inner fifth of costa 

 to inner thu-d of inner margin; mesial line a little broader and less 

 rigid than the other, slightly bent at median vein, touching inner 

 side of small black ocellus on vein 1, which has white pupil, orange 

 ring and brown outer ring; reniform vague, rather narrow, lunate, 

 defined by inner and outer curved lines ; outer line bent above vein 7, 

 lost below 2, a brown marginal Ime, edged on both sides by pale lines. 

 Hindwing with a line across disk, running close to margin, twice 

 angled but not dentate, followed by a narrow dull orange streak and 

 a blue-gray powdery area, which runs upward to about vein 5 ; two 

 distant narrow white marginal lines; a small black dot between them 

 opposite the outer angle of the middle line. This spot has an orange 

 edging but is scarcely ocellate. Beneath a common mesial curved 

 crenulate luie, the hind wing with a straight shaded arc within it. 

 Expanse, 43 mm.
