Euphanessa pauper n. sp. 
Wings ochreous hyaline. On the primaries at the base of the costal margin is a 
black point ; about the center of the cell is a smoky spot, and below it a second 
similar spot. Just beyond the cell the wing is crossed by a smoky band, having at its 
upper extremity two short diverging branches, one extending towards the apex, and 
the other towards the center of the outer margin, in one instance touching it. An- 
tennze, head, thorax and abdomen ochreous. Expanse, 24 mm. 
23'S. Las Vigas. 
Famiry MELAMERIDE. 
Ephialtias coatepeca n. sp.

of the costal margin to the anal angle by a rich yellow band ; the secondaries with a 
broadish central yellow band. Antennz, head, thorax and abdomen dull black. Ab- 
domen beneath white. Expanse, 28—31 mm. 
26'3,5 99. Coatepec, Paso de San Juan. Closely allied to 
Ephialtias ariaca Druce. 
Melanchroia monticola n. sp.

Famity DIOPTIDZ. 
Polypetes cethegus n. sp. 
Primaries above olive brown, paler at the base and along the outer margin ; all 
the veins yellowish-brown ; a white spot at the end of the ceil, Secondaries white 
with a very broad abdominal and outer margin, and a narrow costal margin black. 
Underneath primaries dull black with a white spot at the end of the cell ; the second- 
aries the same as on the upper side. Head, thorax and abdomen dull black above, 
whitish underneath. Tegulz ochreous. Expanse, 27 mm. 
2 d'd', 2 QQ.  Coatepec. This species is most nearly allied to 
Polypeles etearchus Druce, but differs from that species in the ground 
color of the primaries, and also in having the black margin to the 
secondaries much broader. 
Famuy CERATOCAMPID. 
Eacles ormondei n. sp. 
Primaries above orange red, except a small space in the cell, a triangular space 
at the apex and a small space at the anal angle, all of which are yellow. The wings 
are speckled as in other species of Zacles with purplish brown, A straight purplish 
line crosses the wing from the apex to the inner margin at two-thirds from the base ; 
this line is bordered outwardly on its anterior half with lilac. The wings are also 
crossed near their base by a narrow dark wavy band. About the center of the outer 
margin the ground color assumes a darker shade, and at the end of each vein is a 
small dark spot. The two discal spots dark gray with a few whitish scales in their 
center Secondaries yellow, speckled with brown. a purplish wavy transverse band 
crossing from the costal to the inner margins. An elongated orange red space borders 
this band on its outer portion. The basal portion of the inner margin and a wavy 
band at the base of the secondaries also orange red. The discal spot dark gray with ~ 
a white center, A few dark spots at the tips of the veins along the outer margin. 
Underneath yellow mottled with lilac and pinkish scales and speckled with brown ; 
a lunular band crosses the wings trom the apex of the primaries to the center of the 
inner margin on the secondaries. Head and collar yellow, thorax orange red ; ab- 
bomen dorsally orange red, laterally yellow with a row of dark gray spots, and
