with the inner margin and a broad spot at the 

 outer angle white. The secondaries are 

 colored like the primaries, but are clouded on 

 the inner margin with pale fuliginous. 

 Expanse, 48 mm. 



This species is represented in^mj collection 

 bv two specimens only, both of which are 

 females. 



23. R. Iiypocaloides., sp. nov. J . Head 

 and collar bright ferruginous; patagia dark 

 brown; upper side of abdomen ochraceous. 

 The middle of the thorax and the extremity of 

 the abdomen are marked with dark brown. 

 The lower side of the thorax and abdomen 

 are pale whitish-ochraceous. The upper side 

 of the primaries is light brown with a few ill 

 defined basal, median, and submarginal lines. 

 A well defined reniform spot appears at the 

 end of the cell. At the outer angle there are 

 some dark markings accentuated bj three or 

 four chalky-white marks on the side of the 

 base. The secondaries are bright orange- 

 yellow with the outer margin broadly banded 

 with black, the black band extending inwardly 

 around the margin to the anal angle, gradually 

 diminishing in width. On the under side> 

 both wings are pale yellow, the primaries 

 being crossed by a very broad blackish sub- 

 apical band, extending from the costa to the 

 outer angle. The secondaries have a dark 

 border as on the upper side, but paler. 

 Expanse, 40 mm. 



HVBL.\EIDAE. 

 Hyblaea, Fabr. 



24 H. occidentalmm, sp. nov. J. Head, 

 collar, and upper side of thorax dark olive- 

 brown. Abdomen blackish with the outer 

 edges of the segments narrowly margined 

 with pale rufous. The under side of the 

 thorax pale yellow-. The first two pairs of 

 legs are pale yellow with the tarsi blackish ; 

 the third pair of legs are yellow with the 

 tibiae crimson, marked at the upper end with 

 black, and with the tarsi blackish. The prim- 



aries on the upper side are dark olive-brown 

 with obscurely defined blackish marks on the 

 costa, and the median area accentuated on the 

 costa by conspicuous whitish spots, and near 

 the base by two bright yellow spots, of which 

 the lower one is the larger and the upper one 

 is quite small. The secondaries are black 

 marked by a broad mesial fascia of bright 

 yellow. The fringes from the middle of the 

 outer margin to the middle of the inner mar- 

 gin are bright orange-yellow. On the under 

 side, the primaries aie bright yellow, tinged 

 on the costa with crimson, and having the 

 inner margin white, shining. Along the 

 upper edge of this white shining area there is 

 a narrow black line fusing with a broad black 

 U-shaped mark, which is located on the outer 

 third of the wing. The fringes are blackish- 

 The secondaries on the imder side are pale 

 yellow laved on the outerangle with crimson, 

 traversed by a broad submarginal black band 

 and a median band of interrupted black spots, 

 of which the one nearest to the costa is sub- 

 quadrate in form and the others linear. 

 There are also a number of blackish dots 

 sprinkled over the lighter surface of the wing. 

 ? . The female is like the male, except that 

 the ground color of the primaries is generally 

 paler and the white and vellow markings on 

 the upper side of the primaries are wanting. 

 Expanse. <J , 25-30 mm; ?■ 30-33 mm. 



GONOPTERIDAE. 



Gonitis, Guen. 



25. G. margiiiata, $. Palpi, head, and 

 thorax obscure fawn. Upper side of thorax 

 and abdomen whitish with the abdominal 

 extremity rusty. The primaries on the upper 

 side are reddish-fawn, except on the outer 

 margin, which is uniformly pale cinereous 

 except just below the apex on the outer 

 margin, where it is lightly touched with dark 

 brown. The darker area within the paler 

 band is profusely sprinkled with brown spots. 

 There is a small annular spot in the middle of 

 the cell, an oval blackish spot at the end
