is distinguished by the white line which in most specimens 

 crosses the underside of both wings. In some examples 

 this line is obsolete, only indications of it being visible. 



Lymanopoda ccendeata, n. sp. (Plate III., fig. 4). 



Exp. 1-8 poll. 



L. samio similis, sed alls latioribus et apicibus minus 

 acutis, marginibus nigris, punctis albis (nee cferuleis) 

 notatis ; subtus alis anticis ad basin fuscis, area mediana 

 nigris caeruleo atomatis et punctulis albis notatis. 



This beautiful species seems to take the place of Z/. samius, 

 in the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta. It is distinguished 

 by many characters, which will be apparent when L. samius 

 is compared with the figure now given. 



42. Pedaliodes polyxo (Plate III., fig. 8 c?, 8a ?). 



c? Exp. 1-6 poll. _ 



Alis-fusco supra nigris ; subtus anticis fuscis apice cane- 

 scente, posticis ad basin obscurioribus, striga albescente 

 transversa a limbo costali per cellulam ad marginem 

 internum transeunte, ultra earn, presertim marginem 

 internum versus, eodem colore variegatis, angulum analem 

 versus obscurioribus et macula fere W formante apud cellulae 

 finem ; margine externo et angulo anali productis et 

 serratis ut in genere Steromate. 



? .* Major et alis dilutioribus, posticis rufo variegatis et 

 duabus lineis angularibus prope marginem externum 

 notatis. 



This species has the general appearance of a Steroma, 

 but it wants the lobe on the costa of the hind wings which 

 characterises that genus. 



43. Pedaliodes leucocheilus, n. sp. (Plate III., fig. 5). 



Exp. 2*5 poll. 



Alis fusco-nigris, anticis ad apicem albescentibus : subtus 

 anticis fuscis, apicibus canescentibus, macula indistincta 

 cellulte finem versus, altera subtrigona inter earn et 

 limbum externum, rufis ; posticis fusco irroratis, macula 

 subquadrata in costa punctoque angulum analem versus 

 albis notatis. 



This is one of the peculiar species of the Sierra Nevada, of 

 which Mr. Simons has sent several specimens. It has no 

 very near allies that we know of.
