444 PHYCIODES. By J. R6oseEr. 
markings are very much as in zanthe, but likewise broader, and the basal area of the forewings is of a paler tint. 
Ph. myia Hew. (90 e), from Mexico and Central America, differs from ianthe in the narrower wings 
and reduced white markings of the upper side of the forewings. Also beneath it resembles ianthe, but has 
the submarginal row of lunules dark, sometimes black, never white. — griseobasalis form. nov. has the middle 
cell of the forewings underneath which in normal specimens is fulvous, grey. 
Ph. hermas Hew. (= genigueh Reak.), from California, I only know from the description and figure 
furnished by the author. Upperside of 3 dark brown, forewings with 12 or more distinct white spots, termen 
feebly excavated, hindwings with 2 white spots near the base, a broad median macular band, and 2 submar- 
ginal rows of fulvous spots. Under surface of forewings orange at base, then brown, with the white spots of the 
upperside reproduced; hindwings brownish-white, with a few indistinct white spots and a submarginal row 
of white lunules, termen fulvous, with one spot each at costa and middle termen. 
Ph. ofella Hew. (90 f), from Colombia and Chiriqui; wings very elongate, with broadly white median 
band reaching from inner margin of hindwings to middle of forewings. Under surface very much as in zanthe. 
Ph. leucodesma F/dr. (90 f), from Colombia and Venezuela. Wings very broad and rounded, with the 
bands and spots so broad that the greater portion of the upperside is white. Also underneath the white ground- 
colour prevails; forewings with base yellow, and terminal markings dark brownish; hindwings with a sub- 
terminal row of white lunules and, following it, a series of dark ocelli. 
Ph. coela Druce (91 ¢c), from Costa Rica. ¢ forewings black, with a triangular white spot behind the 
middle of the costa cut up into 4 by the veins, a small spot at the apex, a submarginal row of 6 white 
spots the third of which is smallest, and a large, round, white spot at the outer angle. Hindwings fulvous-orange, 
base and termen black, with a white subapical spot and a submarginal series of yellowish lines. Under sur- 
face like upper side, but with all the white markings larger, a yellow streak at the base of both wings, and a 
yellowish spot partially entering the cell of the forewings. 
Ph. nigrella Bates (88 i), from Central Guatemala. A small sized species. ¢ wings very long, forewings 
pointed, termen gently and evenly curved outwards. Abdomen protuding beyond the wings. Upperside smoky 
brown, with 3 or 4 pale brown spots in the middle of the forewings and a pale brown median band on the 
hindwings. Under surface: Forewings brown with several dusky lines, darker in the middle, with a large 
triangular spot at the middle of the hndmargin and 2 pale spots near the apex; hindwings light brown, darker 
from middle to termen, with a series of short curved dark striae and a row of black spots parallel to the 
termen. 
Ph. lutescens Godm. a. Salv., from Guatemala, approximates to nigrella. g and 2 resemble nigrella 
2, with the spots on the hindwings always distinct, those on the forewings and the band on the hindwings, 
especially in 2 much more prominent, resembling in this respect anieta. Probably it is only a form of nigrella. 
Ph. cerquita Dogn., from Ecuador (near Loja); only known to me from the description: “Both wings 
dirty white above, dusted with fine black scales; forewings bordered with black throughout, hindwings with an 
even black border along costa and terminal band, which latter is much broader than on the forewings, and en- 
closes at the apex a white point, abdominal border ferruginous. The under surface resembles the upper, but all 
the white portions are scaled with black, and the terminal band contains a row of white dots on both wings.” 
Size like that of lansdorfit. 
Ph. flavida Hew., from Ecuador, approaches in size flavina, but is pale yellow above, the forewings 
broadly, hindwings narrowly bordered with blackish-brown. The colouring of the under surface is paler, and de- 
void of all markings. 
Ph. albescens spec. nov. (90 f), from Ecuador (1 2), differs widely from all other species. Upper surface 
dirty whitish-yellow, with the border of the forewings broadly greyish-black, that of the hindwings narrow. 
Underneath the forewings have in addition to the dark, somewhat faded termen a few brownish striae in the 
cell, the hindwings fine greyish-fuscous markings on dirty yellowish ground. 
Ph. albipunctata spec. nov. (90 f), from Mexico. Upper surface deep greyish-black, with a submarginal
