submarginal lines which recede from the margin itself, a sub- 

 apical ocellus, and two white spots in the apex : secondaries 

 with two ocelli — a large one on the middle of the costa and a 

 smaller one over the first median branch ; a distinct plain 

 tawny border. The cell of the secondaries above is covered 

 with long hairs, which, however, are not collected into a 

 distinct tuft, and the region of the submedian nervure is very 

 hairy over the basal half; there is a glabrous patch at the 

 base of the first median branch. 



Hah. Chiriqui. 



Dr. Staudinger has submitted to us specimens of this 

 distinct species, which has no near allies that we know of. 

 As will be seen by comparison with what we have written on 

 the arrangement of the tufts of hair on the secondaries of the 

 males in this genus (cf. Biol. Centr.-Am., Rhop. i. pp. 125 et 

 seq.), 0. Staudingeri does not fall into any of our sections, 

 but must stand by itself. 



2. Synchloe eumeda, sp. n. 



Allied to S. pascile, Feld. (cf Biol. Centr.-Am., Rhop. i. 

 p. 180, t. xx. figs. 1, 2), but with the yellow spots in the cell 

 of the primaries and the spot below the first segment of the 

 median nervure evanescent ; on the other hand, the six spots 

 extending in a band across the wing beyond the cell to the 

 middle of the inner margin are larger and more elongated ; 

 the base of the secondaries is almost wholly black, and the 

 middle red submarginal spot is nearly of the same size as 

 those towards the apical angle, instead of being much the 

 smallest of the series. Beneath, the submarginal spots of the 

 primaries are all yellow ; the black spots at the base of the 

 secondaries are smaller, and there is a distinct band of black 

 spots across the wing, which in S. poecile coalesces with the 

 black margin. The palpi are white laterally, with black 

 upper and lower edges. 



Hah. Mochitlan in the State of Guerrero, Western Mexico 

 (0. T. Baron). 



Mr. Baron collected many specimens of this species during 

 his residence in Western Mexico. 



The sexes are alike in coloration. 



3. Synchloe dryope, sp. n. 



Closely allied to S. eumeda, and differing from S. paicile in 

 the same characters ; but from the former it may be distin- 

 guished by the yellower colour of the transverse band common 

 to both wings ; the dark border to the secondaries is distinctly
