an indistinct light spot in the middle of the wing beyond the 

 cell. 



Hob. Chiriqui (Ribbe). 



Mus. Dr. O. Staudinger. 



1 1 . Phyciodes poltis. 



(S ' Exp. 1*5 in. Outer margin of primaries very slightly 

 concave. Above dark brown,- an oblique spot beyond the cell, 

 a round one over the middle of the median branches, a small 

 one near it between the submedian and first median branch 

 fulvous : secondaries with an extracellular transverse pale 

 fulvous band, the part nearest the apical angle reddish fulvous. 

 Beneath — primaries tawny ; a dark baud, enclosing spots cor- 

 responding with those of the upperside, crosses the wing from 

 the costa to the anal angle ; outer margin variegated with 

 tawny and reddish brown, some whitish spots on the costal 

 margin near the apex : secondaries yellowish white at the 

 base ; an indistinct darkish band crosses the wing from the 

 costa to the inner margin, outside of which is a pale band which 

 embraces the apical angle and crosses the wing to inside the 

 apical angle, which, with the greater part of the outer margin, 

 is reddish and contains a row of black spots. 



Hob. Mexico {Boucard). 



Mus. H. Druce. 



The nearest ally of this species seems to be P. orthia (Hew.), 

 of South Brazil. 



12. Phyciodes Julgor a. 



(S . Exp. 1*7 in. Outer margin of primaries with a deep 

 indentation. Upperside dark brown; a large fulvous patch, con- 

 sisting of two nearly confluent spots, crosses the wing beyond 

 the cell from the costa to the inner margin ; a small spot at the 

 end of the cell, two small white spots near the apex : secon- 

 daries* with a broad median tawny band and two faint lines of 

 lunules parallel to the outer margin. Beneath reddish tawny, 

 the spots of the upper surface indistinctly shown; some dark 

 lines across the cell, and dark spots near the outer margin 

 between the radial nervures : secondaries pale tawny, inner 

 portion mottled with darker marks ; outer part (except the 

 apical angle) dark, enclosing a row of four black subtriangular 

 spots ; a line of pale lunules parallel to the outer margin. 



$ . Similar to the cS , but rather larger ; the fulvous spots 

 on the primaries larger and confluent.
