absence of an orange costal margin to the primaries. The 

 Phalania fulvia of Clerck's ' Iconcs ' is a Chrysauge closely 

 allied to my C. Umhata. 



Family Lithosiidae. 



Genus KusciNo. 



liuscinu latifasciatusj w. sp. 



Closely allied to R. menea^ but rather smaller, with tiie 

 ochreous bands of primaries, basal area of secondaries, and 

 body deeper in colour, the bands of primaries broader, tlie 

 external black area of secondaries slightly narrower. 



Expanse of wings 1 inch 4 to 8 lines. 



Hah. Veragua [Sahin). Three specimens, B.M. 



Evidently a local form of R. menea. 



Family Larentiidae. 

 Genus SCORDYLIA. 



Scoi'dylia Salviui, n. sp. 



Wings above saffron-yellow, the apices broadly black ; 

 primaries with the outer margin, including the apical area, 

 from centre of costa to submediau ncrvure broadly (but 

 decreasingly) black, the inner edge of the black area irregu- 

 larly zigzag, internal margin at external angle narrowly black, 

 three basicostal red-brown dots : a small quadrate costal yellow 

 spot at centre of black apical area ; two or three apical whitish 

 dots on the fringe ; secondaries with the apical black area tri- 

 undulated internally ; an irregular narrow external black 

 border from apical area to anal angle : body wliity brown : 

 primaries below with the basal half of costa whity brown, 

 crossed by black and red-brown liturai ; apex red-brown ; the 

 costal spot and a diffused patch at apex whity brown ; secon- 

 daries whity brown, freckled with red-brown ; apical area 

 red-brown, varied with grey and wliity brown ; otherwise as 

 above. 



Expanse of wings 1 inch 4 lines. 



Hah. Yeragua (ISalvin). Two examples, B.M. 



S. Salvini is most nearly allied to S. perfectaria^ but is 

 larger, has the black area of primaries mucli narrower towards 

 external angle, and a yelloAV costal spot upon it ; the apical 

 area of secondaries is also broader, and the under sui-fiice of 

 all the wings (excepting at apex of primaries) much deeper 

 ill colour.
