o3. Comibaena rhodonia spec. uuv. 



?, 22 mm. Face aad palpus wliite marked with green ; palpus with second 

 and third joints very long. Verte.x green. Antenna simple, whitish. Thorax 

 green above, in front white spotted with red ; abdomen with some white, red-edged 

 spots (partly discoloured), anal extremity white. 



Fori'irhni with SC^ from cell, anastomosing with C, SC- arising before SC ; 

 light apple-green, costal margin spotted with red, the red becoming predominant 

 distally, expanding at two-thirds and again at apex, enclosing white spots at the 

 expansions ; an ill-defined rod, white-dotted spot on posterior ra irgin before one- 

 lialf, a few red scales on M before origin of M" ; cell-dot black ; a series of 

 postmedian red blotches, enclosing white dots or dashes on the veins ; first blotch 

 small, on R' ; second large, from R- to across R^ and followed by some. red dusting 

 along R^ to ternien ; third blotcli small, on M' ; fourth large, from tornus and 

 jiosterior margin to across M- ; termen with small, white-centred red spots at vein- 

 ends ; fringe pale green, marked with red opposite the veins. Hindwing with 



termen rounded, M^ stalked ; concolorons with forewing, with small black cell-dot 

 and series of terminal red, white-centred spots, that at tornus larger. 



Underside pale green, costal margin of forewing tinged with reddish, both 

 wings with weak cell-dot. 



Mount Goliath, February 1911 (A. S. Meek). Type in coll. Rothschild. 



Nearly related to inductaria Guen. and viridijimbria Warr. ; distinguished by 

 the large rosy blotches : not impossibly an aberration of the latter. 



•j4. Racheospila nortia (Druce). 



Si/iii-hhirai?) noiiia Druce, Biol. Ceiitr. Amo: Lep. Hel. ii. p. 93 ; Prout, Geii. Lis. 129 p. 11.5. 



I was unacquainted with this species when my Revision appeared, and merely 

 cited it in the position assigned by Druce. I have now seen examples from Costa 

 Rica collected by Mr. Schans, and find that it belongs to the diar/ta-groni> of 

 Racheospila, i.e. Lissochlora Warr., as already suggested with a query by Warren 

 {Nov. Zool. vii. p. 1.35). A much larger form — or very close ally which I have not 

 yet been able to differentiate — occlirs in >S.E. Peru. 



55. Racheospila superaddita spec. nov. 



(?, l.S mm. Face red, with two white spots below. Palpus red above, beneath 

 and at end of second joint snow-white. Vertex and antennal shaft snow-white ; 

 occiput red. Thorax and base of abdomen above green ; abdomen with four raised 

 white dorsal spots standing on a dark red ground, those on second and third 

 segments large, confluent, occupying a great part of the segments, that on fourth 

 smaller and detached, that on fifth still smaller. Pectus, abdomen beneath, and 

 legs mostly white ; jiosterior tibia with rather strong pencil and well-developed 

 terminal process one-half as long as tarsus. 



Forewinij apple-green, with costal edge red at base, otherwise snow-white 

 narrowly margined with red : a minute red cell-sjiut ; a fine, indistinct, curved 

 whitish antemedian line from M to jiosterior margin ; a distinct, somewhat Innulate- 

 dentate white postmedian, 2 mm. from and parallel with termen, only slightly 

 incurved posteriorly ; terminal line fine, red, nowhere thickened ; fringe white, 

 finely and weakly barred with reddish opposite the veins and with the tips reddish.
