84 INSECUTOR INSCITlit MENSTRUUS 



(Laguna). Females jure not as much shaded beneath with purple-red as 

 males. The three from Panjima and Costa Rica are darker purple above 

 than the true suhruhella, probably forming a local race. Mr. Schaus 

 labeled the $ from Costa Rica " subrosea Warr.," but it agrees better 

 with this. 



Calyptocome amechana, new species. 



Fore wing with a slight angulation in middle of outer margin, the part 

 above slightly emarginate. Hind wing evenly rounded. Dark purplish, 

 the lines slight and without pronounced borders. Expanse, 1 8 mm. 



Type, c? , No, 15663, U. S. Nat. Mus. ; Orizaba, Mexico (Schaus 

 collection). 



The type is badly rubbed, but the species is readily recognizable by 

 the wing shape and d secondary character. A 9 from Orizaba has 

 been associated with the type, having a similar wing-shape. It is, how- 

 ever, redder, and shows more rosy tint beneath, 



Calyptocome ignifera Warren. 



Crypsit^la ignifera Warren, Proc. U. S. Na^. Mus., xxx, 436, 1906. 



Warren described from 3 c? and 1 9 , but only two specimens bear 

 his label in the collection. The series from the Guianas comprises 1 8 

 specimens, including the types. There are also I 5 specimens from Pa- 

 nama (Corozal, Canal Zone, La Chorrera, and Cabima). Most of the 

 Panama specimens show more grayish shading submarginally, mesially, 

 and basally than the Guiana ones, but the difference is not constzint. 



Calyptocome purpurascens Hulst. 



Eots purpurascens Hulst, Can. Ent., xxxii, 105, 1900. 



Eois purpurascens Hulst, Bull. 52. U. S. Nat. Mus., 296. No. 3522, 1903. 



Close to variabilis Dyar, but larger and brighter, apparently specifi- 

 cally separable, though evidently derived from an Antillean form. See 

 phorcaria Guenee, following. Besides the type, the collection possesses 

 six specimens from Cocoanut Grove and four from Miami, Florida. 



Calyptocome rubrotincta Hulst. 



Wauchula rubrotincta Hulst, Joum. N. Y. Ent. Soc., viii, 216, 1901. 



I have only the single <S type from Florida. It may be a. suffused 

 specimen of purpurascens Hulst.
