(521) 5. Xanthospilopteryx medjensis, new species 



Plate XIII, Figure 1, cf 

 cf . Somewhat closely resembling the insect figured in Seitz, Gross-Schmett., XV, 

 PI. lib, and designated on the plate as X. vittalbata. I have been unable to discover 

 any reference to this figure in the text written by Dr. Karl Jordan to accompany the 

 plates. He apparently has made no reference to it unless he means to refer to it as 

 X. paucicolor, where he speaks on page 3, under X. gruenbergi of such a species as 

 figured on PI. 116. The insect before me differs, however, from that figured as vit- 

 talbata in having on the upper side of the primaries on the posterior margin behind 

 the middle a large white subtriangular spot, divided by a deep black narrow line on 

 vein 1 . There are also a number of small and less clearly defined spots near the base 

 on this wing. 



The collection contains three specimens, a male and two females, 

 taken at Medje, the male in April, the females in July. The type, o^, 

 and allotype, 9 , are in The American Museum of Natural History. 

 A female paratypeis in the Holland Collection in the Carnegie Museum.
