c??. Resembling the southern form analis, hut the posUiiscal pale baud and 

 the apical aud anal pale patches of forewing more silvery-grey ; the series of black 

 snbmarginal sjwts of hiudwiug continued costad by a rather distinct line, the 

 external area being less deep black than in the other races of satellitia. 



Ilab. Cuba ; Bahamas ; Florida. Perhaps to be discovered in Haiti.

4n:. Pholus dnicei spec nov. (PI. II. f 3, c?). 



$. Resembling Vh. .vitellitia amil/s, bnt deeper olive ; pale dorsal line of 

 abdomen narrower, not narrowed at the base of the segments ; lateral patch of 

 second, and dorso-lateral one of third segment larger and deejier in tint. 



Wings, abort'. Forewing : olive patcii at hinder margin triangular, discal 



lines sharper marked, more oblique to the veins, the discal costal olive shade less 

 distinct, not obviously continued distad before N', a tawny shade along M', con- 

 liniied l)asad ; triangular olive j)atch at inner margin before angle extended costad 



til M'. Hindwing : abdominal margin broadly red ; a black stigma ; a sharply 



marked line running costad from upper outer corner of square black patch, sub- 

 marginal black band distinct up to U-, then fading away in a blackisli olive area, 

 wliich is narrower than in natetlitia ; between black scjuare patch and snbmarginal 

 baud there are three sharply marked black lines. 



Underside as in Fh. satellitia analis, but hindwing rosy red fmm abdominal 

 edge up to ceil ; disc slightly shaded with rosy red. 



First segment of hindtarsus only as long as the following two segments ; 

 short apical spur more than half the length of tlie long one. 



(S . Tenth tergite narrowed towards apex, but not sharply jointed. Clasper 

 without patch of bristles on inner surface ; dorsal margin straight, slightly concave; 

 liarpe as in I'h. aatellitia licnon., but obviously less curved, the hook being shorter. 

 Penis-sheatli less pointed than in .-inti'lUtia.

40S. Pholus neuburgeri spec. nov. (PI. II. f 4, S). 



S. Markings deeper in tint than in all the other species. Body similar to 

 that of satellitia as regards markings, but up[)erside dark fawn-colour, olive patch 

 of mesothoracic tegula smaller than in satellitia, pale dorsal line of abdomen of 

 nearly even width, shar])ly marked also on the first segments and continued to 

 metauotum, and behind to eigiith tergite, here thin, dividing the olive mesial 

 patch into two slender triangles ; lateral patches of abdomen all sharply marked, 

 the anterior ones the largest, black at lower edges. Underside brick red ; jialpus, 

 sides of breast and legs more or less dark pinkish fawn ; jialpus without white
