more distinct and broken into a series of spots. Underneatli the wings are 

 yellowish brown and all the spots are metallic gray, in some instances faintly 

 outlined with black. Expands 23—25 mm.; 8 J^r? 2 $ $. 



Paso de San Juan. 



This species is near Caria ino, Godman & Salvin. 



Lasaia sessilis n. sp. Primaries above dark lustrous gray crossed by 

 irregular black lines, a marginal row of dark spots and a submarginal dark 

 wavy band. Underneath paler with the transverse lines broken up into spots, 

 the marginal spots very small and the submarginal wavy band decidedly in- 

 distinct, especially on the primaries. Expands 28 mm. ; 4 ^(S'- 

 Coatepec. 



Theope eupolis n. sp. Primaries above black, with a small patch of blue 

 at the base of the inner margin, and hardly extending above the median vein. 

 Secondaries blue, with the costal margin, and the apical half of the outer 

 margin broadly black. Underneath light brown with, at the anal angle, two 

 or three indistinct black spots edged inwardly with light blue. Expanse 

 30-35 mm. ; 2 cj^c? 3 9 ? • 



Paso de San Juan. 



This species comes very close to Theope virgelius Fabr. , but is 

 easily recognized by the smaller extent of blue on the primaries and 

 the black margin to the secondaries. 



Theope bacenis n. sp. Primaries above bleck, with a large bright blue 

 space at the base along the inner margin. This color does not extend above 

 the subcostal vein, nor beyond the cell. At the end of the cell is a band. 

 Secondaries, which are rather produced at the anal angle, bright blue. The 

 costal margin black. Underneath brown, yellowish at the base of the prima- 

 ries, the wings being crossed from the apex of the primaries to the center of 

 the anal margin by a dark brown band. Expands 33 mm. ; i i^. 

 Coatepec. 



SPHINGID^. 



Subfamily Macroglossin^. 



Enyo taedium n. sp. The male closely allied to the male of Enyo gorgon, 

 having the same general aspect and peculiar fold of the cell as in that species. 

 The costal margin is, however, straighter, the wings are not so long, and the 

 body is also shorter and less tapering than in Enyo gorgoti. Primaries red- 

 dish brown crossed by numerous wavy bands of a deeper brown. The apical 

 portion of the wing is rather darker, except a lighter space situate along the 

 center of the outer margin and inwardly curved. On the costal margin close 

 to the apex is a small dark brown triangular spot. Secondaries reddish 

 brown, darkest at their base and with a central and submarginal wav>' brown 

 line. Underneath reddish brown, gray along the outer margin of the prima- 

 ries with two wavy brown lines crossing the wings beyond the cells. Head 

 reddish brown. Thorax brown, with a darker shade crossing the patagiae.
