9. Kricogonia Fantasia Butler. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. for 1871, 

 p. 170, pi. 7, fig. 6. 



The following is the description: 



9 . Wings above greenish white; front wings with the basal costa 

 dusky sulphur-yellow; a pale brown marginal band beginning broad 

 on costa and tapering to near the anal angle; hind wings tinted with 

 pale sulphur; front wings below with the greater part of the discoidal 

 cell and basal half of the costal area bright sulphur-yellow; apical half 

 of the costal area and apex tapering to near the anal angle tinted with 

 pale sulphur; hind wings as above, but brighter toward the base; body 

 cream-white; anus brownish. 



Exp. of wings two inches four lines to one inch four lines. 

 Hab. — Nicaragua, (coll. Boisd. ) 



Most nearly allied to K. Lyside {Castalia Butler, nee. Fabr. ), but at 

 once distinguishable by the marginal band and differently colored bases 

 of the wings (Butler). 



Four examples, all 9 9; three in 1877 coll. 



10. Kricogonia Terissa Lucas. 



Hab. — Mexico and Guatemala (Boisduval).

Boisduval states of this species: "In our 'Species' we have described 

 as a variety of Lyside, some individuals from Mexico which differ 

 sensibly from the type of the Antilles in that they are smaller, and that 

 the males show upon the costal border of the secondaries a short black 

 band. We believe to-day that this variety figured by Hiibner-Geyer, 

 Nos. 843 and 844, under the name of Lyside, well deserves to be re- 

 garded as a species pertaining to Central America. It is more com- 

 mon in Mexico than in Guatemala ( ' Considerations sur des LepidopBres 

 Envoyes du Guatanala a M. de V Orza, p. 10, 1870.')" 



11. Kricogonia Lanice n. sp. 



$. Primaries white; basilar region bright yellow, extending one- 

 third across the wing, or to the first median nervule; costa slightly, and 

 apex more conspicuously shaded with pale yellow; internal margin 

 bordered with black for one-fourth its length from the base. Secondaries 

 slightly tinged with yellow; bright yellow at the base, with a few black 

 scales; outer margin narrowly bordered with pale yellow; no discal 

 spot on either wing. 



Beneath, the yellow of the basilar region of the primaries is less 

 bright than above, while that of the costal and apical regions is deeper
