2/0 ON LEPIDOPTERA FROM CENTRAL AMERICA. [Feb. 19, 



16. TlMETES PHIALE, Sp. n. 



cJ . Exp. 2*5 in. Closely allied to T. corita, Bates, from which 

 species the male hardly differs : the region of thecostaof the secon- 

 daries is suffused with the reddish tawny colour of the apical angle ; 

 and beneath the general tint is paler. 



2 . Exp. 2 - 5 in. Differs from $ T. corita in general tint of the 

 wings being brick-red instead of rich brown, the transverse markings 

 of the wings being much more clearly defined ; beneath the markings 

 are all very indistinct, both wings being crossed by a common rufous 

 band. 



Hob. Guatemala, Volcano of Atitlan (Salvin). 



Mus. nostr. Three examples. 



Taken at the end of January 1874, in forest, at an elevation of 

 about 4000 feet. 



17. Adelpha falcata, sp. n. 



S • Exp. 2*2 in. Primaries elongated, outer margins concave, 

 dark brown ; both wings with a common white band extending from 

 the space above the second median branch of the primaries to the 

 anal angle of the secondaries, where the usual tawny spot is absent. 

 A tawny spot extends curving outwards from about the middle of 

 the distal half of the subcostal nervure of the primaries towards the 

 margin ; the outer margin of this spot is deeply sinuated, apex nar- 

 rowly white. Beneath rich tawny ; the white baud as above, but 

 with a dark margin on either side ; the tawny spot is paler and 

 rounded ; a submarginal row of glaucous spots, obsolete about the 

 middle of the margin of the primaries ; two glaucous spots in the 

 cell and one beyond it ; two transverse series across the base of the 

 secondaries, all with dark margins. 



$. Similar to the 3 1 but larger (exp. 2 - 55 in.); the primaries 

 being less falcate. 



Hab. Guatemala, valley of the Rio Polochic. 



Mus. nostr. 



Obs. In pattern of coloration this species somewhat resembles A. 

 iphicla (L.) ; but it may be at once distinguished by the strongly 

 falcate wings, the absence of the tawny spot at the anal angle of the 

 secondaries, and the coloration of the under surface. 



18. Adelpha diocles, p. n. 



<3 . Exp. 2-1 in. Dark brown, with three darker submarginal 

 bands to both wings ; a common white band crosses both wings from 

 above the second branch of the median nervure of the primaries to 

 the anal angle, near which is a tawny spot ; a tawny spot runs from 

 the costa of the primaries, parallel to the margin, nearly as far as the 

 first median branch, and is separated from the white band by an 

 oblique dark line ; two dark-margined tawny spots cross the cell, one 

 at the end and one in the middle. Beneath the bands are as on the 

 upperside ; the margins of both wings are bluish white, with a mar- 

 ginal and central tawny line ; this marginal band is separated from
