340 Mr. A. G. Butler on new Species of 
Subfamily Perrcorirmz. 
Genus PERICOPIS. 
- Pericopis Lucretia, n. sp. 
?. Allied to P. zerbina, but broader and shorter in the 
wing; the bands in primaries less oblique and more diffused ; 
the spot crossing the discoidal cell narrowed into a streak, 
and continued across the wing to the submedian nervure ; the 
submarginal series of reddish ochreous lunulated spots smaller, 
eight in number, and therefore forming a continuous series ; 
the discocellular black line interrupted; abdomen more orange 
in tint; primaries below with all the markings well defined, 
the median nervure and its branches blackened ; secondaries 
with the veins blackened, the costal area (excepting at base) 
dark brown; the outer margin with a broad dark brown border; 
the submarginal ochreous spots seven in number, and very 
small; a broad black longitudinal ventral streak on the 
abdomen. 
Expanse of wings 2 inches 10 lines. 
Hab. Veragua (Salvin). Type, B.M. 
The position of this species will be between P. leonina and 
P. zerbina. 
Family Melameride. 
Genus JOSIA. 
Josia cruciata, n. sp. 
Primaries black, with a broad orange-yellow streak from 
base to centre of outer margin; secondaries with the costa 
and external areas broadly black, a broad central orange-yellow 
belt from inner margin to apex; inner margin orange: body 
black above, head and thorax spotted with orange, metathorax 
orange ; abdomen with a creamy white, narrow lateral line: 
trochanters, proximal extremity of tibiee and tarsi of first pair 
of legs, whole of hind pair of legs, creamy white; venter 
creamy white; body below otherwise black; wings with the 
orange bands broader, otherwise as above. 
Expanse of wings 1 inch 3 to 5 lines. 
Hab. Veragua (Salvin). Type, B.M. 
Nearly allied to the Josta fulvia of Walker and to J. ligata, 
but easily distinguished from both by the whitish lateral line 
and more distinctly white venter of the abdomen; it also 
differs from the Josta fulvia of Walker (nec Linn.) in the 
greater width of the orange bands, and from both in the
