This species is allied to D. mexicana, trom which it is at 
once distinguished by the entirely different coloration of the 
thorax and abdomen. 
Dycladia thera, sp. n. 
Primaries black, with the hyaline markings almost identical 
with those of D. mexicana, but with the apical spot smaller 
and narrower; also the black margin of the secondaries con- 
siderably narrower. ‘The underside of all the wings as above. 
The head and collar bright blue, the thorax and upperside of 
the abdomen dull black ; tegule black, with a yellow dot at 
the base, also a yellow spot on each side of the abdomen close 
to the base; the sides of the abdomen and the anal segment 
bright blue ; the underside of the abdomen and the anal tuft 
bright scarlet ; antennee and legs black. Expanse 1} inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa, Tabasco, February (HZ. H. Smith). 
This species 1s allied to D. mexicana, but it is a larger 
insect and entirely different in the coloration of the head, 
thorax, and abdomen. 
Dycladia utica, sp. n. 
Primaries hyaline, broadly bordered at the apex and along 
the outer margin with black, the base red: secondaries 
hyaline, with the apex and outer margin edged with black.

the base of the abdomen white; the legs black and white; 
the antenne black, becoming white near the tips. Expanse 
1,5 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, La Venta, Guerrero, 300 feet (H. H. Smith). 
This species is most nearly allied to an unnamed one in 
my own collection from the Bahama Islauds, and comes into 
the group with D. columbina, Hiibn.; it was taken by Mr. 
Smith in September 1888.
