LEPIDOPTEEA HETEROCERA. 



Mexico. 



The three following species, of which the two latter may he 

 varieties of U. Politia, differ much from the typical form of Urap- 

 teryx, and may form a new genus between it and Char odes, 

 U. Politia varies in the markings of the wings and in the caudal 

 angle of the hind wings, and some of the specimens here recorded 

 have less likeness to the typical specific form than to U. complicata.
