This is a well-marked species, combining some of the character- 
istics of two of the groups of this interesting genus. 
X. catarhodia, sp. nov. ¢- This species recalls in its general 
aspect .Y. azsha, Kirby, a good figure of which is given in the 
Proce, Ent.ooc. London, vol. xxxix. Pl. XV... fig: 3, but from which 
it differs noticeably in having fewer small light spots at the base 
of the primaries, in having the black border of the secondaries 
much narrower at the anal angle, and in further having the ab- 
domen black, very narrowly ringed with yellow, the yellow lines 
being much narrower than in X. atsha. Furthermore, the ground 
color of the secondaries is not crimson as in Kirby’s species, but 
rather pale rosy pink. Expanse 48 mm. Type unique. Dabulli,
