Family XOCTUID.-E. 

 Genus Xanthopastis Hiibner. 



82. Xanthopastis timais (Cramer). 



Phalcciia timais Cramer, Papillons Exotiques, III, 1782, p. 148, PL CCLXXV, 

 fig. S. 



Three specimens taken at Nueva Gerona from the end of June to 

 the first week in August. 



Genus Cydosia Westwood. 



83. Cydosia linki sp. nov. (Plate XXXI, fig. 16.) 



Nearest C. phcedra Druce, but to be distinguished at a glance by the 

 fact that it has but two cupreous bands crossing the fore wing, while 

 C. phcedra has three such bands. 



Black, shot with deep blue; vertex white; patagia with two small 

 white spots; thorax and abdomen blue-black throughout; fore wing 

 with three minute white spots, one immediately at the base, closely 

 followed by two others, the upper one being a trifle larger than the 

 lower. These are next succeeded by a cupreous band, which originates 

 at the base, is carried outward along the costa for a short distance, 

 and then at right angles descends to the inner margin, gradually 

 increasing in width. This band is followed distally by two rows of 

 subcircular white spots, the upper two located upon the cell being 

 the larger. These spots are succeeded by the second cupreous band, 

 which is broader than the first, and runs from the costa to the inner 

 margin, at right angles to it. The second band is succeeded externally 

 by four small white spots, two near the apex and two near the inner 

 angle, the first and the fourth in the series being smaller than the pair 

 in the middle, between which there is an interval greater than that 

 between the two upper and the two lower spots of the series. Expanse 

 24 mm. 



The type is unique, and was taken at Los Indies in November, 1912, 

 by Mr. G. A. Link, Sr., in recognition of whom I name the species. 



Genus Heliocontia Hampson. 



84. Heliocontia pantherula (Herrich-Schaefter). 



Emmelia pantherula Herrich-Schaeffer, Corr.-Blatt Regensb., XXII, 1868, p. 

 151- 

 One male specimen taken at Los Indios, November, 191 2.
