THE AMERICAN SPECIES OF DYSODIA 43 



Type, No. 15626, U. S. Nat. Mus.; Tuis. Costa Rica, June (W. 

 Schaus). 



Dysodia confusata Warren. 



Dysodia confusata Warren, Nov. Zool., xv, 332, 1 908. 



Dysodia confusata olioescens Warren, Nov. Zool., xv, 332, 1908. 



Described from Ecuador. From the description it seems close to 

 p\)rsocoma, and it is perhaps the stem form from which it arose. I place 

 olivescens as a variety, following Warren. I have not seen specimens. 



Dysodia innubila Warren. 



Dysodia innubila Warren, Nov. Zool., xv, 334, 1908. 

 Described from Bolivia and Peru. I have not seen specimens, but 

 place it from Warren's description, characterized by the absence of the 

 apical clouding. 



Dysodia derufata Warren. 



Dysodia derufata Warren, Nov. Zool., xv, 333, 1908. 



This differs from speculifera by the divided discal spot of hind wing. 

 I have specimens from Castro, Parana, Rio Janeiro, and Joinville, Brazil. 



Dysodia flagrata Walker. 



Farnia flagrata Walker, Cat. Brit. Mus., Lep. Het., xxxiii, 826, 1865. 

 Platythyris floridana Hulst, Ent. Amer., ii, 182, 1886. 

 Dysodia flagrata Warren, Nov. Zool., xv, 333, 1905. 



I placed floridana as a synonym of speculifera (Bull. 52, U. S. Nat. 

 Mus., 361, No. 4136, 1903) but according to Hulst's description it 

 differs in the divided discal spot of hind wing and the fore wing being 

 shaded broadly along costa with dark color from base to outer line. I 

 possess no material of this form, but Warren's notes on flagrata appear 

 to make floridana identical with it. 



Dysodia nomima, new species. 



Dull orange, with little red tint, finely reticulate ; outer line broad, 

 evenly widened to costa, its outer edge smoothly convex ; a fine line run- 

 ning up from tomus and one across apex. Hind wing evenly reticulate, 

 without contrasted lines except the broad mesial band, widest on costa ; 

 one minute white discal dot. Expanse, 22 mm. 



Type, No. 15536, U. S. Nat. Mus.; Rinconada, Vera Cruz, Mex- 

 ico (Schaus collection).
