OXEOSCHISTUS. 



II.— OXEOSCHISTUS COTHONIDES. Fig. 3. 



Oxcoschistiis Cothoniih's, H. Grose-Smith, " Annals and Mag. of Nat. Hist.,'' 

 Ser. 6, Vol. XVIII., p. 241 (September, 189G). 



Exp. 2| inches. 



Upperside. Anterior wings resemble 0. Colhon, Salvin. Posterior wings, 

 discal area bright tawny, with a broad marginal border of dark brown, irregularly 

 idented by the tawny area between the veins ; a dark brown spot centred by a 

 white dot situate in the tawny area between the two lowest median nervules, 

 and two similar contiguous spots above the anal angle, as in 0. Cuthon. The 

 discal area becomes darker tawny-brown towards the base and inner margin, 

 the darker area extending transversely from the middle of the costa and crossing 

 the cell a little beyond its middle towards the anal angle, where it merges in the 

 dark brown marginal border. The female resembles the male. 



The UNDERSIDE does not differ appreciably from 0. Cothon. 



Hab. Cartago, Costa Rica. 



In the CoUectiou of Mr. Grose-Smith. 



Described from four specimens. At first I thought this insect might be the female of 

 0. Cothon ; but possessing a female of 0. Cothon which does not differ from the male, I conclude 

 that the very distinct colouring of the upperside of the posterior wings justifies me in describing 

 it as distinct from 0. Cothon. The specimens were sent by Mr. Underwood with a good series of 

 0. Cothon from the same locality. 



III.— OXEOSCHISTUS CHYPEOTA. Figs. 4, 5. 



Exp. 2f inches. 



Male. Upperside rufous-brown ; anterior wings darker in the middle, with 

 the disc crossed by a row of paler rufous-brown spots, the two middle spots the 

 smallest; posterior wings with a row of rufous-brown sub-cordate spots crossing 

 the disc, gradually increasing in size towards the anal angle, the two lowest 

 lunules being centred by large dark brown spots, the extremities of the lowest 

 median nervule and submedian nervure with rufous lunules on the outer margin.
