Descriptions of New Species of Mexican HETEROCERA. 
By Wm. Scuavus, JR. 
The following species were all captured by myself in the State of 
Vera Cruz, Mexico, and the types are in my own collection. 
Famity AGARISTIDAL. 
Pseudalypia stuartii, n. sp. Primaries brown-black ; a streak of metallic 
blue scales between the median and submedian veins, and a small spot of the same at 
the end of the cell, beyond which a narrow white band crosses the wing from close 
to the costal margin to near the internal angle ; at each extremity this branch turns 
abruptly inwards, forming a sharp hook ; fringe brown. Secondaries blue-black ; 
fringe brown. Underneath brown-black with the transverse band on the primaries 
repeated as above. Head and thorax brown. Tegule orange. Body blue-black. 
Legs brown. 
Expanse, 38 mm. 1 gi. Paso de San Juan. 
This species is very closely allied to Pseudalypia walker, recently 
described by Mr. Druce, and found at Acapulco. 
SuBFAMILY EUDRIIN A. 
Leisoma juanita, n. sp. Primaries above brown, powdered with bluish atoms 
especially along outer margin. An elongated, irregular, olive-green space extends 
from base of wings and nearly touches the costal margin at a third from apex.; this 
space is separated from the ground color towards the inner and outer margins by a 
band of very dark brown, at the end of the cell is a small bluish crescent. Apex 
broadly white bordered internally by a broken band of dark brown ; a series of small 
brown spots along the outer margin ; fringe white at apex, brown otherwise. Second- 
aries above brown-black with fringe white, except on inner margin where it ts brown, 
Underside of wings brown-black without markings ; the apex of primaries white, and 
the outer margin thickly powdered with white scales. Head and thorax brown with 
bluish atoms, Ocellus white. Antennz brown, white at the base. Body brown- 
black with a large orange spot on either side. Legs brown, powdered with bluish 
scales, 
Expanse, 46mm. 1 Q. Paso de San Juan. 
Found in thick forest. 
Famiry ZYGAENIDE-. 
SUBFAMILY PHAZUDIN ZA. 
Harrisina mexicana, n. sp. Very similar to americana of Harris, but mach 
smaller than any specimens I possess of that species. Entirely dull black with the 
secondaries semi-transparent. The antenne are also much more deeply pectinated 
than in the above mentioned species. 
Expanse, 18 mm. 1 <j. Paso de San Juan. 
This species is also allied to Harrisina guatemalena of Druce.
