13. Phyciodes sopolis. 



S. Exp. 1"5 in. Outer margin of primaries but slightly 

 concave. Above brown ; an indistinct tawny spot in the cell, 

 and a similar one below it ; an oblique yellowish spot cut by 

 the nervures beyond the cell touching the costa, and two 

 small yellow spots, one near the middle of the outer margin, 

 the other near the apical angle : secondaries uniform brown, 

 with an obsolete submarginal line of lunules. Primaries be- 

 neath rich brown, with transverse oblique bands of tawny 

 running from the costa : secondaries pinkish brown, distinctly 

 variegated with dark patches and dark brown lines running 

 very irregularly across the wing ; there are dark patches on 

 the costa and the outer margin, including the anal angle, and 

 an indistinct series of ocelli parallel to the outer margin.

Mus. nostr. 



This species, of which we possess two specimens, seems 

 most nearly allied to P. fulviplaga^ Butl., but has a much 

 smaller yellow spot on the primaries, and the same wings 

 beneath are variegated at the base instead of being rich uni- 

 form brownish black. 



14. Phyciodes sosis. 



S . Exp. 1'5 in. Allied to P. ardys (Hew.), from which it 

 mainly differs in wanting the median yellowish transverse 

 band on the secondaries, having in place of it a very narrow 

 broken line of lunules parallel to the outer margin. Beneath 

 the markings are much as in P. ardys ^ but more distinct, espe- 

 cially on the secondaries. 



Hah. Costa Rica \H. Rogers). 



Mus. nostr. Many examples. 



This species has also some resemblance to that recently 

 described by us as P. drymcea from Guatemala ; but tlie spots 

 on the primaries are larger than in that species, and the central 

 band on the secondaries is formed of lunules instead of isolated 

 spots. The markings of the underside are also more definite. 



15. Phyciodes cassiopea. 



2 . Exp. 1'9 in. Outer margin with deep indentation. 

 Above dark brown; seven whitish spots on the apical two thirds 

 of the primaries : secondaries crossed by a median transverse 

 band ; a submarginal row of lunules, and inside this row an 

 indistinct line parallel to the outer margin. Base of the prima- 

 ries beneath reddish : secondaries pale pinkish brown, outer 

 margin dark, and a dai'k mark on the costa near the apical
