Protoparce brontes haitiensis subsp. nov. 
Plate IV, figures 1, 2. 
Al. ant. long., o', 45 mm.; 9, 50 mm. Al. ant. lat., #7, 20 mm; 
9,22mm. Marg. ext., o, 27 mm.; 9, 29 mm. 
Locality.— Port au Prince, Haiti. One male and one female taken by 
Dr. W. M. Mann in December, 19138, and given to the writer. 
This form appears to be intermediate between the Cuban and the 
Jamaican subspecies, but closer to the latter. It is in size larger than a 
measured series of P. cubensis, and differing but slightly in this particular 
from P. brontes. The black lines of the upper side of the fore wing are in 
both sexes slightly, if at all, more prominent than in brontes, and much 
less conspicuous than in cubensis, The general tone of the fore wing being 
darker than in brontes, the effect produced is of a more uniform coloration 
of the fore wing than in that subspecies. This is especially marked in 
the male. The post-discal interspace and the streak before SM2, on upper 
side of fore wing in the male, are in the Haitien form of the same gray 
color as the rest of the wing, not buff or pinkish buff as in brontes. The 
mesothoracic tegula in the female is as white as in brontes, but the sub- 
basal and distal areas of the fore wing above and the anal area of the hind 
wing, are darker, and closer in tint to cubensis. 
More Haitien material would be desirable, but as this is difficult 
to obtain, it seems worth while to note the differences in the pair 
in the collection of the writer. 
Protoparce afflicta bahamensis subsp. nov. 
Plate III, figure 2. 
Habitat— Nassau, New Providence Island, West Indies. One male in 
the collection of B. Preston Clark was taken by Mr. George P. Engelhardt 
of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, and given by him to the 
writer. 
In the ‘Revision’ it is suggested that more material is necessary to 
determine whether the insular and continental specimens of Protoparce
