78. Phyciodes catenarius, sp. n. (Plate IV., fig. 11). 

 Exp. 1-4 poll. 



(?. Alis obscure fuscis, linea angusta submarginali flava, 

 intra earn serie colons ejusdem catenam formante : subtus 

 alis flavis, anticis lineis brunneis irregularibus transversis ; 

 posticis punctis quinque nigris irroratis fasciaque ultra 

 ea pallida margin! parallela notatis. 



Of this species Mr. Simons sends a single specimen, for 

 which "we are unable to find a name. Nor do we possess 

 any very nearly allied species. In some respects it resembles 

 P. aceta (Hew.). 



79. Phyciodes castianira, n. sp. (Plate IV., fig. 10). 

 Exp. 1-3 poll. 



Alis obscure fuscis, anticis maculis ferrugineis notatis 

 (una in cellula, altera infra earn, tertia bipartita in area 

 mediana, quarta trifida ultra cellulam a costa extendente), 

 aliis duabus pallidioribus (una ad angulum analem, altera 

 apici propiore), et tribus submarginalibus minutissimis ; 

 posticis lineis tribus margini parallelis, duabus exteri- 

 oribus augustissimis, interiore presertim costam versus 

 latiore et secundam attingente, aliis indistinctis basi 

 propioribus : subtus alis anticis fulvis, in dimidio exteriore 

 nigro et fusco marmoratis ; posticis pallidioribus et minus 

 irroratis. 



This species is closely allied to P. nebidosa, G. & S.; 

 but the markings, though somewhat similarly situated, are 

 much brighter and larger ; the outer margin of the wing 

 is less cut out ; it likewise differs considerably beneath, the 

 secondaries of P. nebulosa being strongly marked with a 

 silvery grey, which colour is absent in the species we now 

 describe. 



80. Phyciodes, sp. ? 

 Closely allied to P. gyges. Hew., from Jamaica, of which 

 we have specimens from Venezuela. 



114. Perisama humhoUi ? 

 The specimen sent is not in sufiiciently good condition to 

 make it out satisfactorily. 



115. Perisama gisco, n. sp. (Plate IV., fig. 12). 

 Exp. 1-8 poll. 

 S . P. euriclece similis, sed alis anticis fasciis transversis
