1 8 specimens, three of them females, St. Jean, Maroni, French 

 Guiana and 60 miles up the Maroni River, French Guiana (collection 

 of Wm. Schaus). 



Allied to Diarhabdosia laiidamia Druce, but much smaller, the c? 

 with a broken outer gray border on the hind wings instead of a large 

 gray tip, the 9 with the costa of the hind wings broadly yellow above 

 and below instead of entirely gray. 



This species was not described by Mr, Schaus, as at the time we 

 had ide tified it as D. laudaniia. However, I now think it abun- 

 dantly distinct. 



Type. — No. 10920, U. S. National Museum. 



Diarhabdosia mandana, new species. 



Body yellow, overspread with gray, a pink tint on the tegul^e, the abdomen 

 heavily gray shaded in the 9 • Fore wings straw-yellow, nearly covered by a broad 

 gray band that extends from base to apex, touching the costa subapically and the 

 internal margin at base and just before tornus, divided by a central pale ray. Hind 

 wings whitish in the ^ with a gray tip, gray in the 9 with the costa yellow nearly to 

 apex. Expanse, $ 22 mm., f 23 mm. 



Three males and two females, Castro, Parana, Brazil, and Rio Jan- 

 eiro, Brazil (collection of Wm. Schaus). 



Distinguished from the other species by the yellow along the 

 inner margin of fore wings being divided by gray at base and out- 

 wardly. Sir G. F. Hampson has identified this species as D. laudamia, 

 but I think it must be a distinct species.

Diarhabdosia laudamia Druce. 



This species is before me from Mexico, Costa Rica and Peru. 

 The synonymy given by Sir G. F. Hampson (Cat. Lep. Phal., II, 

 518, 1900) appears to be correct. He cites the species from Guate- 

 mala, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, Peru and Brazil. The latter 

 locality is probably wrong.
