catalogue of Trinidad Lepidoptera Rhopalocera. 561 
[108. CricosoMA COCCINEATA. | 
This species falls as a synonym to Pachythone lateritia, 
Bates, Journ. Linn. Soc. Zool., ix, 390 (1868). There are 
five specimens of this insect in the Godman collection from 
Aunai, Essequibo, and the upper Amazon. All five are 
much more heavily spotted than the two Trinidad examples, 
but the spots are in exactly the same positions and the 
undersides are extremely alike. The synonymy, therefore, 
reads :— 
Pachythone lateritia, Bates, Journ. Linn. Soc. Zool., 
ix, 390. 
Pachythone lateritia, Mengel, Cat. Eryc., p. 90. 
Lemonias coccineata, Mengel, Cat. Eryc., p. 118 (1905).

Mr. F. Birch took two specimens, both g, near Port of 
Spain on Oct. 16, 1904. 
The 2, with much more red on the fore-wing, was de- 
scribed and figured by Doubleday and Hewitson as a 
distinct species under the name M. hya.

Mesene simpla, n. sp. 
Allied to triangularis, Thieme. 
g. Fore-wing dark brown, with a median band of light orange 
from the middle of costa to tornus, where it slightly turns inwards 
to inner margin. Hind-wing unicolorous dark brown. Underside 
of fore-wing as above but paler. Underside of hind-wing unicolorous 
brown, but paler than fore-wing. The @ differs in having the yellow 
transverse band narrower and not reaching beyond vein 3; on its 
inner edge it is slightly curved. Both fore- and hind-wing are more 
rounded. On the underside it is more greyish-brown than in the ¢.
