Hah. Mexico, Oaxaca (^F. D. Godman^. 



'J'his very grand insect was obtained by Mr. Godman 

 during his last visit to Mexico. 1 at tirst thought it might 

 jjossibly be the species described by Salle as Satumia monfe- 

 zmna ; but having recently received a careful drawing of that 

 species made from tlie type, and since then a very tine speci- 

 men of that species, it at once proved that the insect I luive 

 very much pleasure in naming after Mr. Uodman is exceed- 

 ingly distinct.
