Lepidoptera from Central America. 341 
absence of an orange costal margin to the primaries. The 
Phalena fulvia of Clerck’s ‘ Icones’ is a Chrysauge closely 
allied to my C. limbata. 
Family Lithosiide. 
Genus RUSCINO. 
Ruscino latifasciatus, n. sp. 
Closely allied to A. menea, but rather smaller, with the 
ochreous bands of primaries, basal area of secondaries, and 
body deeper in colour, the bands of primaries broader, the 
external black area of secondaries slightly narrower. 
Expanse of wings 1 inch 4 to 8 lines. 
Hab, Veragua (Salvin). Three specimens, B.M. 
Evidently a local form of R. menea. 
Family Larentiide. 
Genus SCORDYLIA. 
Scordylia Salvini, n. sp. 
Wings above saffron-yellow, the apices broadly black ; 
primaries with the outer margin, including the apical area, 
from centre of costa to submedian nervure broadly (but 
decreasingly) black, the inner edge of the black area irregu- 
larly zigzag, internal margin at external angle narrowly black, 
three basicostal red-brown dots : a small quadrate costal yellow 
spot at centre of black apical area; two or three apical whitish 
dots on the fringe ; secondaries with the apical black area tri- 
undulated internally; an irregular narrow external black 
border from apical area to anal angle: body whity brown : 
primaries below with the basal half of costa whity brown, 
crossed by black and red-brown liture ; apex red-brown; the 
costal spot and a diffused patch at apex whity brown; secon- 
-daries whity brown, freckled with red-brown; apical area 
red-brown, varied with grey and whity brown ; otherwise as 
above. 
Eixpanse of wings | inch 4 lines. 
Hab. Veragua (Salvin). Two examples, B.M. 
S. Salvint is most nearly allied to S. perfectaria, but is 
larger, has the black area of primaries much narrower towards 
external angle, and a yellow costal spot upon it; the apical 
area of secondaries is also broader, and the under surface of 
all the wings (excepting at apex of primaries) much deeper 
in colour.
