444 PHYCIODES. By J. Rober. 



markings are very much as in ianfJie, but lilcewise broader, and the basal area of the forewiiigs is of a paler tint. 



myia. Ph. myia Heic (90 e), from Mexico and Central America, differs from ianthe in the narrower wings 



and reduced white markings of the upper side of the forewings. Also beneath it resembles ianthe, but has 

 griseo- the submarginal row of lunules dark, sometimes black, never white. — griseobasalis jorm. nov. has the middle 

 hasahs. ^pj] q£ ^l^^^ forewings underneath which m nonnal specimens is fulvous, grey. 



hermas. Ph. heriiias Heiv. (= genigueh Beak.), from California, I only know from the description and figure 



furnished by the author. Upperside of (^ dark brown, forewings with 12 or more distinct white spots, termen 

 feebly excavated, hindwings with 2 white spots near the base, a broad median macular band, and 2 submar- 

 ginal rows of fulvous spots. Under surface of forewings orange at base, then brown, with the white spots of the 

 upperside reproduced; hindwings brownish-white, w;ith a feAv indistinct white spots and a submarginal row 

 of W'hite lunules, termen fulvous, with one spot each at costa and middle termen. 



ofella. Ph. ofella Hew. (90 f), from Colombia and Chiriqui: wings very elongate, with broadly white median 



band reaching from inner margin of hindwings to middle of forewings. Under surface very much as in ianthe. 



leucodesma. Ph. leucodesina FhJr. (90 f), from Colombia and Venezuela. Wings very broad and rounded, with the 



bands and spots so broad that the greater portion of the upperside is white. Also underneath the white ground- 

 colour prevails; forewings with base yellow, and terminal markings dark brownish; hindwings with a sub- 

 terminal row of white lunules and, following it, a series of dark ocelli. 



coela. Ph. coela Druce (91 c), from Costa Rica. J forewings black, with a triangular white s])ot be^iiind the 



middle of the costa cut up into 4 by the veins, a small spot at the apex, a submarginal row of (i white 

 spots the third of which is smallest, and a large, round, white spot at the outer angle. Hindwings fulvous-orange, 

 base and termen black, with a white subapical spot and a submarginal series of yellowish lines. Under sur- 

 face like upper side, but witii all tlie white markings larger, a yellow streak at the base of both wings, and a 

 yellowish spot partially entering the cell of the forewings. 



nigrella. Ph. nlgrella Bates (88 i), from Central Guatemala. A small sized species. (^ wings very long, forewings 



pointed, termen gently and evenly curved outwards. Abdomen protuding beyond the wings. Upperside smoky 

 brown, with 3 or 4 pale brown spots in the middle of the forewings and a pale brown median band on the 

 hindwings. Under surface; Forewings brown with several dusky lines, darker in the middle, witli a large 

 triangular spot at the middle of the hindmargin and 2 pale spots near the apex; hindwings light brown, darker 

 from middle to termen, with a series of shoit curved dark striae and a row of black spots parallel to the 

 termen. 



liilesccns. Ph. lutescens Godm. a. Salv., from Guatemala, approximates to nigrella. ^ and $ resemble nigrella 



$, with the spots on the hinch^ings always distinct, those on the forewings and the band on the hindwings, 

 especially in $ much more prominent, resembling in this respect anieta. Probably it is only a form of nigrella. 



cerquita. Ph. cerquita Z)ogr«., from Ecuador (near io/a) ; only known to me from the description; "Both wings 



dirty white above, dusted with fine black scales ; forewings bordered with black throughout, hindwmgs with an 

 even black border along costa and terminal band, ^\'hich latter is much broader than on tiie forewings, and en- 

 closes at the apex a white point, abdominal border ferruginous. The under surface resembles the upper, but all 

 the white portions are scaled witli black, and the terminal band contains a row of wiiite dots on both wings." 

 Size hke that of lansdorfii. 



flavida. Ph. flavida Heiv., from Ecuador, approaches in size flavina, but is pale yellow above, the forewings 



broadly, hindwings narrowly bordered with blackish-brown. The colouring of the under surface is paler, and de- 

 void of all markings. 



albescens. Ph. albescens spec. nov. (90 f), from Ecuador (1 $), differs widely from all other species. Upper surface 



dirty whitish-yellow, with the border of the forewings broadly greyish-black, that of the hindwings narrow. 

 Underneath the forewings have in addition to the dark, somewhat faded termen a few brownish striae in the 

 cell, the hindwings fme greyish-fuscous markings on dirty yellowish ground. 



aMpunc- Ph. albipuiictata spec. nov. (90 f), from Mexico. Upper surface deep greyish-black, with a submarginal
