NEW LEPIDOPTERA FROM MEXICO— DYAR. 



paratvpe, male, No. 18831a., U.S.N.M.; Guerrero, Mexico (through 

 J. Doll). 



Nearest to H, daraba Druce. 



HEMIHYALEA RHODA Druce. 



Phaegoptera rhoda Druce, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, vol. 3, 1894, p. 173. 

 JTemihyaleafuscescens Rothschild, Nov. Zool., vol. 16, 1909, p. 277. 



I identify this form by the descriptions of Druce and Hampson, 

 smce the figure in the Biologia Centrali-Americana (pi. 74, fig. 17) 

 is apparently misleadmg and mdistinguishable from daraha Druce, 

 except for the brown thorax, which varies. True rhoda (=fuscescens 

 Rothschild) is distinguishable from daraba by being gray-brown, 

 without any pure ocher, wliich appears at the bases of the wings and 

 m the bands of daraha, even of the more hyaline variations. The 

 determmations in the collection before me are much mixed. 



HEMmVALEA RHODA HIDALGONIS, new subspecies. 



Differs from rlioda m havmg the pale bands sliglitly marked on 

 both costa and umer margin, faintly traceable across wmg. In 

 rhoda the bands are occasionally marked on the costa but not on the 

 inner margin. 



T;vpe.— Male, No. 18832, U.S.N.M.; Guerrero Mill, Hidalgo, 

 Mexico, 9,000 feet (Mann and Skewes, gift of B. Preston Clark). 



Genus CALIDOTA Dyar. 



CALIDOTA CLARCANA, new species. 



Similar to C. divina Schaus; smaller, the pale markings on fore 

 wmg formmg a series of small irregularly connected spots, those of 

 subterminal Ime formmg spots similar to the other lines, not diffused; 

 wings uniformly darkened over the spotted ground, not m dark 

 shades beyond the Imes only as in C. divina. Hmd wmg spotted, 

 the pale gromid bemg crossed by mesial, outer and marginal pale 

 gi-ay bands, dentate, the outer two sometimes fused, but never the 

 even border of divina, m which the mesial band is absent. Expanse, 

 47 mm. 



r^/pe.— Male, No. 18833, U.S.N.M.; Guerrero MiU, Hidalgo, 

 Mexico, 9,000 feet (Mann and Skewes, gift of B. Preston Clark). 



Named in honor of Mr. Clark, who presented this and much other 

 valuable material to the National Museum. 



MANNINA, new genus. 



Fore wmg with vein 2 before the middle of the cell, 3 long before 

 the end of the cell, 4 — 5 from the end of the cell, 6 shortly stalked, 

 9 from 10 anastomosing with 8 to form an accessory cell, 11 on the 

 cell. Hmd wmg with vein 2 from the middle of the cell, 3 before
