at base with silvery grey; some squamose submarginal 

 markings of the same colour, and a broad central band slightly 

 undulated and widening from apical costa to inner margin, 

 where it becomes distinctly white ; also a silver-grey sub- 

 quadrate spot, interrupted by subcostal nervure ; five or six 

 snowy white points passing through centre of disk, the three 

 uppermost crossing the central band in an oblique line ; fringe 

 grey. 



Expanse of wings 2 inches 5 lines. 



13. Pedaliodes Pausia. B.M. 



Pronophila Pausia, Hewitson, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. ser. 3, i. p. 8. u. 16, 

 pi. 4. fig. 25 (1861). 



Slightly different from the type from Bolivia, but scarcely 

 sufficiently so to be worthy of a different name. 



Genus 6. Oxeoschistus, Butler. 



14. Oxeoschistus mirabilis, n. sp. B.M. 



Form almost of 0. Prochyta) but primaries shorter, less 

 falcated. Wings above pitchy, with beautiful green shot in 

 certain lights ; fringe alternately black and pale sulphur- 

 yellow, more distinct on primaries than on secondaries: 

 primaries below dark brown ; the apex varied with yellow 

 scales ; interrupted by a very irregular apical submarginal 

 black line, edged internally with white, and bounding a series 

 of three increasing black blind ocelli, bounded internally by a 

 bifid white subcostal spot ; two or three obsolete ocelloid spots 

 on disk : secondaries olive-brown, irrorated with white and 

 yellow scales ; a broad, very irregular, and angulated central 

 band, edged on both sides with black, bounded by diffused 

 silver bands ; a discal series of eight large black discal ocelli 

 with white pupils and squamose yellow irides ; a very irregular 

 submarginal black line. 



Expanse of wings 2 inches 10 lines. 



One of the most beautiful species in the collection, somewhat 

 similar in the character of the under surface to some species of 

 the genus Dcedahna. 



Genus 7. Lasiophila, Felder. 



15. Lasiophila orbifera. B.M. 



Lasiophila orbifera, Butler, Cat. Diurn. Lepid., Sat. p. 182. n. 4, pi. 5. 

 fig. 6 (1868). 



Previously known from Eastern Peru, Bolivia, and Bogota.
