  (Schaus 
  

   collection), 
  Cat. 
  No. 
  14984, 
  U.S.N.M. 
  

  

  This 
  is 
  possibly 
  a 
  race 
  of 
  vindex. 
  

  

  (29) 
  HYLESIA 
  CRESSIDA, 
  new 
  species. 
  

  

  Close 
  to 
  alinda 
  Druce, 
  but 
  the 
  female 
  with 
  black 
  lateral 
  and 
  

   terminal 
  tufts. 
  The 
  male 
  is 
  rather 
  smaller 
  than 
  alinda, 
  the 
  fore 
  wing 
  

   less 
  strongly 
  falcate, 
  the 
  markings 
  not 
  quite 
  so 
  distinct. 
  

  

  Cotypes. 
  — 
  Five 
  males, 
  two 
  females, 
  Cuernavaca, 
  Mexico, 
  June 
  and 
  

   July, 
  "l906 
  (W. 
  Schaus), 
  Cat. 
  No. 
  14991, 
  U.S.N.M. 
  

  

  Possibly 
  a 
  northern 
  race 
  of 
  alinda 
  Druce. 
  I 
  accept 
  as 
  alinda 
  

   specimens 
  from 
  Costa 
  Rica 
  identified 
  by 
  Schaus. 
  I 
  have 
  no 
  material 
  

   from 
  the 
  type 
  locality 
  (Guatemala). 
  

  

  H. 
  cressida 
  and 
  euphemia 
  are 
  very 
  closely 
  allied 
  in 
  the 
  male. 
  I 
  have 
  

   a 
  long 
  series 
  of 
  males 
  that 
  I 
  can 
  not 
  certainly 
  assign 
  to 
  either. 
  The 
  

   abdominal 
  tufts 
  of 
  the 
  females 
  are 
  so 
  different 
  in 
  color 
  that 
  specimens 
  

   of 
  this 
  sex 
  can 
  not 
  be 
  confused. 
  I 
  have 
  the 
  larvae 
  of 
  euphemia, 
  but 
  

   those 
  of 
  cressida 
  have 
  not 
  been 
  received. 
  The 
  two 
  species 
  occur 
  

   together. 
  I 
  have 
  females 
  of 
  both 
  from 
  Cuernavaca 
  and 
  Jalapa.
