BIOLOGIA CENTRALI-AMERICANA. 


ZOOLOGIA. 


Class INSECTA. 


Order LEPIDOPTERA. 


Suborder HETEROCERA (continued). 


Fam. EUSCHEMIDZ. 


In the New World this family is very poorly represented ; from our region we only 
know of four species, representing two genera. 


PHAOCHLANA. 
Pheochlena, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 176; Walker, Cat. i. p. 467 (part.) ; Butler, Trans. 
Ent. Soc. Lond. 1878, p. 62. 
The type of this genus is P. tendinosa, Hiibn., from Central and South America; 
three species are now known from our country. 


1. Pheochlena tendinosa. 
Pheochlena tendinosa, Hiibn. Zutr. Samml. exot. Schmett. i. p. 18. no. 45, ff. 89, 90; Verz. bek.. 
Schmett. p. 176; Walk. Cat. ii. p. 467°; Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1878, p. 62. - 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (coll. Schaus) ; Honpuras!; Guatema.a, Cerro Zunil 4000, to 
5000 feet (Champion).—CotomBiA, Bogota; Lowrr Amazons, Para. 
This common South-American species appears to be very rare in our country. 
Mr. Champion only sent a single specimen from Guatemala. 


2. Pheochlena solilucis. (Tab. XLI. figg. 9, ¢; 10, 2.) 
Pheochlena solilucis, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1878, p. 62°. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Arcé, Ridbe), Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion). 


—Ecuapor ; Upper Amazons!; East PErv. 
A beautiful species, quite unlike any other known to me. The specimens from the _ 
State of Panama, from which our figures are taken, agree well with the Amazonian 


type.

HETEROCERA. 


3, Pheochlena cytheris, sp.n. (Tab. XLI. fig. 11, 2.) 

Female. Primaries deep black, the veins close to the pase pale cream-colour, a large oval cream-coloured spot 
about the middle and a very small similarly-coloured spot close to the apex; secondaries creamy-white, 
broadly bordered with black: head and thorax black; abdomen brownish-black above; dusky white 
beneath; antennee black ; palpi and tegule bright orange ; legs black above, white beneath. Expanse 
1} inch. 

Hab. Mexico, Orizaba (H. J. Elwes), Cuesta de Misantla (If. Trujillo) ; Costa Rica, 

Caché (Rogers). 

P. cytheris is quite distinct from any described species; it comes nearest P. cingu- 
lina from Ecuador. The Costa-Rican specimen is figured. 


SIMENA. 


Simena, Walker, Cat. vii. p. 1728 (1856). 
Cosmetodes, Guenée, Sp. gen. des Lép. x. p. 225 (1857). 

Simena and Cosmetodes were founded by their authors upon the same species, the 
types of each being from Mexico. The antenne of the males are very deeply 
pectinated, those of the females simple, the two sexes otherwise closely resembling 
- each other. 


1. Simena luctifera. (Tab. XLI. fig. 12, ¢ .) 
Simena luctifera, Walk. Cat. vii. p. 1728 (d)’. 
Cosmetodes joaria, Guen. Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 225 ($9)? 
Melandia equinoctialis, Boisd. Lép. Guat. p. 77°. 


Hab. Mexico ! 2, Cordova (Hoge, Riimelt), Jalapa, Coatepec (coll. Schaus), Cuesta 
de Misantla (MZ. Trujillo), Atoyac in Vera Cruz (H. H. Smith); GuateMaa*, in the 
city (Rodriquez), Cubilguitz, Senahu, and Panima in Vera Paz (Champion) ; HonpuRas ® 
(Schenck, mus, Staudinger); Costa Rica (Van Patten, mus. D.), Volcan de Irazu, 
Caché (Rogers) ; Panama, Chiriqui (Arcé, mus. D.), Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 
feet (Champion). 

We are indebted to Mons. C. Oberthiir for kindly lending us the type of Melandia 
equinoctialis, Boisd. ; it does not differ from Walker’s species. In Guatemala and 
Costa Rica this is a common insect, but in the State of Panama it appears to be very 
rare, Mr. Champion only having met with one example; from Mexico we have only a 
few specimens. A Mexican example is figured. 


Fam. URANIIDE. 


The characters of this family are fully described by Prof. Westwood in his ‘“ Obser- 
vations on the Uraniide,” Trans. Zool. Soc. x. pp. 507-521 (1879).

- URANIDIA. 


URANIDIA. 
Uranidia, Westwood, Trans. Zool. Soc. x. p. 521 (1879). 


Prof. Westwood in his Monograph enumerated eight species of this genus, several 
of which are of very doubtful value. Some of its members have the remarkable 
habit of migrating in large numbers. 

An important paper on the life-history of the Cuban U. boisduwvali ( fernandine, 
Macl..) has been published by Mr. MacLeay, Trans. Zool. Soc. i. pp. 180 et seq. 


1. Uranidia fulgens. (Tab. XLI. fig. 16.) 
Urania fulgens, Walk. Cat. i. p. 5+; Boisd. Lép. Guat. p. 77’. 
Cydimon fulgens, Guen. Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 9° ; Boisd. Rev. et Mag. Zool. 1874, p. 41 *. 
Uranidia fulgens, Westw. Trans. Zool. Soc. x. p. 522°. 

Hab. Mexico! 25, Cordova (Riimeli), Coatepec (Brooks); Guatemata? 4%, in the 
city (Rodriguez), Zapote, Cerro Zunil 4000 feet (Champion); Honpuras, San Pedro 
(G. Whitely, mus. D.), Ruatan Island (Gaumer); Nicaragua, Chontales (Belé) ; Costa 
Rica (Van Patten, mus. D.), Rio Sucio, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (Rogers) ; 
Panama, Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 4000 feet (Champion).— 
Cotomsta ? 3 4 5, Bogota 1. 


Respecting this species Mr. Schaus writes me as follows :—“I found Urania fulgens 
extremely abundant at Jalapa during certain seasons, and for a fortnight or three weeks 
at a time a perfect succession of specimens would be flying daily from the north to the 
south, but difficult of capture. In Vera Cruz (the town) I secured a large number at 
night: between midnight and two a.M. they would be attracted by the lights, and 
would settle on the white walls of the houses, with their wings spread out, and would 
thus remain motionless. I consider this fact very remarkable, as I had always thought 
that U. fulgens was only a day-flier; but evidently it must continue its migrations at 
night also, or does it return at night to the north? In the daytime I have always 
seen them flying in the one direction.” 

Boisduval states 2:—“ Cette espéce est tellement abondante dans quelques contrées 
du Mexique, que l’on pourrait souvent en prendre par centaines. Il parait qu’a cer- 
taines époques de l’année, elle émigre par bandes nombreuses. C’est probablement 
lorsque les chenilles ont dépouillé tous les arbres d’une localité, que, par un instinct 
naturel, elles vont chercher ailleurs un berceau pour leur progéniture.” 

Migrations of large numbers of examples of this species were also observed by 
Mr. Champion in Chiriqui; and others have been recorded from the Isthmus of Panama 
(cf. ‘Nature,’ viii. p. 536), the specimens in this case travelling from east to west, in 
the months of August and September. 


Mr. Salvin saw numbers of this Urania flying daily during his short visit to the 
bb 2 


4 HETEROCERA. 


Isthmus of Panama in May 1873: specimens were first observed by him on approaching the 
port of Colon, where they were flying close over the water across the Bay in a sontherly 
direction ; and subsequently when he was staying at Obispo Station couples of this 
species were nearly always in sight, from early morning till dusk, flying high over the 
trees in a south-easterly direction. None were observed to enter the houses at night, 
though on several occasions examples of very many species came to light. 

The large series of examples before me show a considerable amount of variation 
in the colour and width of the bands crossing the wings. The females are generally 
larger than the males. The majority of the specimens from Colombia in my own 
collection are more richly coloured than those from Central America. We figure a 
Mexican specimen. 


2. Uranidia cacica. 


Cydimon cacica, Guen. Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 8 (9) *; Boisd. Rev. et Mag. Zool. 1874, p. 36 2. 
Uranidia cacica, Westw. Trans. Zool. Soc. x. p. 521°. 
Hab. Mexico, Acapulco ! 2 3, 


I have not seen the type of this insect, but think it most likely that it will prove to 


be inseparable from U. fulgens. The only recorded specimen is the one described by 
Guenée. 


MANIDIA. 
Manidia, Westwood, Trans. Zool. Soc. x. p. 527 (1879). 


Of the eight species included by Prof. Westwood in this genus only one is as yet 
known to inhabit Central America.

MANIDIA.—CORONIDIA. 5 


Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 8000 feet (Champion).—CotomBta, Antioquia; VENEZUELA?’; 
Guiana > 10, Surinam 3 § 9; Upper and Lower Amazons; Braziu? 456; Trinipap. 


We have a series of thirty-one examples of this species before us, showing a con- 
siderable amount of variation in colour in the males, and to a less degree in the females. 
Mr. Kirby states (Proc. Roy. Dubl. Society, 1880, p. 340) that Sematura selene, Guen., 
is very closely allied to J. /unys (Linn.), especially as regards the females; but may 
be distinguished by the pale inner submarginal line of the fore wings being more 
dentated. I have not seen the type of Sematura selene; but I think it extremely 
doubtful if it is specifically distinct from J/. lunus, as in a long series of the latter the 
submarginal band on the primaries varies a good deal in shape. I have specimens of 
M. lunus before me from Para, the locality given by Guenée for his Sematura selene. 


CORONIDIA. 
Coronidia, Westwood, Trans. Zool. Soc. x. p. 528 (1879). 

Prof. Westwood divided Coronidia into four sections. Of these I believe 2 and 3 
to be generically distinct, as the males of the species belonging to them, so far as Iam 
aware, do not possess a silky black patch on the secondaries, nor a tuft of hairs on the 
inner margin of the primaries beneath, and they also have the antenne simple. 


Sect. 1. Alis postecis ceruleo fasciatis, Westw. 


In this section of the genus Prof. Westwood placed five species, two of them being 
from Central America. 


1. Coronidia hysudrus. 
Coronis hysudrus, Hopff. Neue oder wenig. bek. Schmett. Heft 2, p. 4, t. 3. ff. 4, 5 (1856) *. 
Coronidia hysudrus, Westw. Trans. Zool. Soc. x. p. 5327. 
Hab. Mexico ! 2, Jalapa (coll. Schaus) ; Guatema.a, Las Mercedes 3000 feet, Volcan 
de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 feet (Champion); Panama, Chiriqui (7'rétsch, Kibbe, im mus. 


Staudinger).—BRaziu ! 2, 


The male of this species closely resembles C. erecthea, Westw. ; but it has the blue 
on the secondaries joined to the oval patch of rough black scales, and the tuft of hairs 
on the inner margin of the underside of the primaries luteous. We have six specimens 
before us—one female from Mexico, two males and a female from Guatemala, and a 
male and female from Chiriqui; the females do not differ from Hopffer’s figures, 
except that they have the antenne pectinated as in C. boreada, Westw. 


2. Coronidia hyphasis. 
Coronis hyphasis, Hopff. Neue oder wenig. bek. Schmett., Heft 2, p. 3, t. 3. ff. 2, 3°. 
Coronidia hyphasis, Westw. Trans. Zool. Soc. x. p. 5327. 
Hab. Mexico! ?; Panama, Chiriqui (Zrétsch, in mus. Staudinger). 


6 HETEROCERA. 


The male of this species differs from the corresponding sex of all others of the genus 
known to me in having the tuft of hairs on the underside of the inner margin of the 
primaries black instead of yellowish. Hopffer’s figure represents a female ; the male 
has considerably more blue on the secondaries above. 


Sect. 2. Alis posticis rufo fasciatis, Westw. 


3. Coronidia egina. 

Coronis egina, Boisd. in Régn. Anim., ed. Crochard, Atlas, Ins. t. 145.f.4°; Walk. Cat. i. p. 387; 
Chenu, Encycl. d’Hist. Nat., Pap. i. p. 234, f. 399°; Guen. Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 21, Uran.

Hab. Mexico*, Coatepec (coll. Schaus); Panama, Bugaba (Champion).—GuIANa, 


Essequibo River ; Brazin ? 3 4 ®. 

The specimen captured by Mr. Champion in Chiriqui agrees well with Guenée’s 
figure, which was taken from a Mexican example. It is quite possible that the 
Central-American examples will prove to be specifically distinct from those from South 
America, but at present I have not sufficient material to be able to form a decided 
opinion. If this should ultimately prove to be the case, I propose the name gueneei 
for the Central-American insect. 


4, Coronidia canace. (Tab. XLI. fig. 13, 2.) 
Coronis canace, Hopft. Neue oder wenig. bek. Schmett. Heft 2, p. 4, t. 3. f. 6°.

3000 feet (Champion; Ribbe, mus. Staudinger).—Kcuavor ; Brazit ! 2. 


Varies slightly in the colour of the red band on the secondaries, this band being 
brighter in some specimens than in others. We figure a female example from 
Chiriqui. 


5. Coronidia nicaraguana. 
Coronidia nicaraguana, Westw. Trans. Zool. Soc. x. p. 534, t. 88. fig. 3°. 
Hab. Nicaracua (Belt 1). 


The only specimen known to me of this species is the type in the Oxford Museum.

Coronidia eola, Westw. Trans. Zool. Soc. x. p. 535, t. 88. ff. 1, 2’. 
Hab. GUATEMALA 1.—Brazit!; ANTILLES 1. 
We include this species in our fauna upon the authority of Prof. Westwood, who 
tates that there is a specimen of it from Guatemala in the Oxford Museum.

Coronidia echenais, Westw. Trans. Zool. Soc. x. p. 536 *. 


Hab. Mexico ! 2, Jalapa (Hége), Coatepec (coll. Schaus). 


Our Jalapa specimen is almost identical with Hopffer’s figure of the male, but it is 
rather darker in colour. 


8. Coronidia biblina. 
Coronidia biblina, Westw. Trans. Zool. Soc. x. p. 537, t. 88. f. 77. 
Hab. Mexico, Coatepec (Brooks); Nicaragua 1.—VENEZUELA 1. 


A worn male specimen from Coatepec is apparently referable to C. biblina, but it is 
considerably smaller than the insect delineated by Prof. Westwood. 


9. Coronidia japet. 
Coronis japet, Boisd. in Régne Anim., ed. Crochard, Ins. t. 145. f. 31; Chenu, Encycl. d’Hist. 
Nat., Pap. i. p. 234, f. 400°; Walk. Cat. i. p. 38°. 
Coronidia japet, Westw. Trans. Zool. Soc. x. p. 537, t. 88. f. 6+. 
Hab. Mexico, Coatepec (coll. Schaus); Guatemata, San Gerdénimo (Champion) ; 
Nicaragua’ (Belé); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion).— 
CotomBia, Antioquia ; VENEZUELA?; Braziu}2 34, 


In our specimens the pale bands crossing the primaries are darker in colour than 
in Prof. Westwood’s figure. According to Guenée (Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 22), 
C. japet, Boisd., is the female of C. leachit, Godt. 


10. Coronidia interlineata. (Tab. XLI. fig. 17, 2.) 
Coronis interlineata, Walk. Cat. i. p. 88°; Butl. Ill. Lep. Het. Brit. Mus. i. p. 59, t. 3. £. 1 (mec 
Westw.). 

Hab. Costa Rica (Van Patten). 

Our Costa-Rican specimen does not differ from Walker’s type, the locality for which 
was unknown!, The insect figured by Prof. Westwood as C. interlineata (Trans. Zool. 
Soc. x. t. 88. f. 8) belongs to a different species, and I propose the name westwoodi for 
it: it is said to have come from Bogota or Venezuela. 


11. Coronidia genevana. 
Coronidia genevana, Westw. Trans. Zool. Soc. x. p. 539, t. 88. f. 10°. 
Hab. Mexico (in mus. Genev.1), Coatepec (coll. Schaus); GuateMaLa (Boucard, in 


mus. D.). 


8 HETEROCERA. 


12. Coronidia ribbei, sp.n. (Tab. XLI. fig. 14, 2.) 


Female. Primaries dark brown, crossed from the costal to the inner margin by many waved brown lines, a 
wide pale yellowish-brown band crossing the wing from the costal to the inner margin close to the anal 
angle, the outer margin broadly bordered with pale brown, the latter slightly dentated near the apex ; 
secondaries dark brown, with a wide pale yellow band extending from the costal margin near the apex 
to the inner margin above the anal angle, the outer margin deeply dentated ; the underside pale yellow, 
the primaries with a rather large black spot at the end of the cell, and crossed from the costal to the inner 
margin by two wide waved black bands, the secondaries crossed only by a central black band, the outer 
band being broken up into very fine lines: head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, and legs brown; the palpi 
brown, with the third joint black. Expanse 2 inches. 


Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Ribbe, in mus. Staudinger). 


A single specimen only of this very distinct species has been communicated by 
Dr. Staudinger ; its nearest ally appears to be C. genevana, Westw. 


13. Coronidia ocylus.

Mr. Champion captured a good series of specimens of this insect at San Gerénimo. 
It varies considerably in size, one of the examples from Chiriqui being hardly more than 
half the size of some of those from Guatemala. From Guatemala I have both sexes 
before me; they clearly prove that Guenée was wrong in supposing that C. leachii was 
the male of the yellow-banded C. japet, the markings of the wings scarcely differing in 
the two sexes.

Ecuapor’?; Boriviat ®; Sourn-East BraziL, Rio Janeiro; CuBaA?. 


This species varies considerably in size and colour, and also in the distinctness of the 
markings. It is possible that S. mahometaria may be inseparable from Phalena area, 
Cram.; but Cramer’s figure is so unlike any of the specimens before me that I prefer 
using Herr.-Schiaffer’s name, instead of sinking it as a synonym as Moschler has done 
(Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, 1881, p. 394). 


NEPHELOLEUCA. 
Nepheloleuca, Butler, Journ. Linn. Soc., Zool. xvii. pp. 197, 201, t. 9. ff. 11, 12 (meuration) (1883). 


Butler based this genus upon Phalena politia, Cram., a species that had been placed 
in Urapteryx by Leach, Guenée, Snellen, and others, but from which it differs consider- 
ably in form and neuration. A second species is now added from our region.

This insect varies considerably in the extent of the dark-coloured markings on the 
secondaries, the specimens from South-east Brazil having these wings much more 
heavily marked than those from the more northern localities. Grote, ‘ Canadian 
Entomologist,’ xv. p. 6, describes a variety of this species, from Indian River, under 
the name of floridata. Mr. Schaus informs us that this is a rare species in Mexico; in 
Colombia and Ecuador it is exceedingly common. 


2. Nepheloleuca ardania, sp.n. (Tab. XLII. fig. 1, ¢ -) 

Male. Primaries and secondaries creamy-white ; the primaries crossed from the costal to the inner margin by 
four rather wide pale brownish-grey lines—the first near the base, the second just beyond the cell, the 
third halfway between the cell and the outer margin, and the fourth submarginal,—the costal margin 
from the base to the apex and also the outer margin thickly streaked with fine brownish-grey lines, a 
well-defined brownish-grey line at the end of the cell, the fringe brownish-grey ; the secondaries crossed 
below the middle from near the costal margin to the anal angle by two distinct pale greyish-brown lines, 
between which a third line partly crosses the wing, a straight pale brownish-grey line extending from the 
base along the inner margin to the anal angle, and a black spot shaded round with yellow placed close to 
the margin in the short tail; the underside of both wings white, with indications of the lines as above 
and a submarginal row of small black dots: head, thorax, abdomen, anal tuft, palpi, and legs creamy-~ 
white, the antenne yellowish-white, the eyes black. Expanse 215 inches. 


Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 

Two males of this very distinct species were captured by Mr. Champion. Although 
very unlike WV. politia in colour and markings, the neuration is exactly similar. 
N. ardania bears a slight resemblance to some of the eastern species of Micronia. 


ZESCHROPTERYX.

AEschropteryz, Butler, Journ. Linn. Soc., Zool. xvii. pp. 197, 204, t. 9. ff. 7, 8 (neuration) (1883). 
Butler gives Cherodes tetragonata, Guen., from Brazil, as the type of this genus, at 
the same time including in it five other species. The name Cherodes (not Cherodes as 
given by Butler) is preoccupied in both Coleoptera and Mammalia.

From our region I have only seen one specimen, a female, kindly communicated by 
Dr. Staudinger. This agrees perfectly with others before me from Colombia and 
Ecuador, whence we have a good series of examples. The South-American specimens 
show very slight variation in colour, but the Colombian ones are a little paler than 


those from Ecuador.

I have seen two specimens of this species from Chiriqui. It is very closely allied 
to 4. onustaria, but is larger, and has the lines on the primaries straighter.

~ Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion), Panama city (J. J. Walker).— 
Guiana, Paramaribo*; Brazi.® °®. 


This species is common in Guatemala and the State of Panama. It varies very 
considerably in colour and in the distinctness of the markings. Guatemalan specimens 
are always paler in colour than those from more southern localities. Geyer gives? 
Java as the locality of his specimen, but that must be a mistake, the genus being 
entirely confined to the New World. The Mexican specimen in Mr. Schaus’s collection 
is smaller, and has the secondaries less angular than usual; but in our large series from 
Guatemala we have two or three examples very similar to it. 


4, Aischropteryx marciana, sp.n. (Tab. XLII. fig. 2.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries pale greyish-brown, the primaries with very faint brown streaks over the 
greater part of the surface, a black dot at the end of the cell of both wings; the primaries crossed from

the apex to about the middle of the inner margin by a narrow whitish-brown line, which is edged on the 
inner side with a darker line, this latter interrupted by the nervures, which are white; the secondaries 
crossed about the middle by a line corresponding to that on the primaries, below which are some dark 
streaks and spots; the underside of both wings dull greyish-brown, with the black dots very distinct ; the 
fringe greyish-brown: head and collar blackish-brown ; the thorax, abdomen, and hind legs greyish- 
brown; the front legs and antenne dark brown, the former banded with pale greyish-brown. The female 
very similar to the male, but considerably paler in colour. Expanse, 3 27, 9 2} inches. 


Hab. Mexico, Coatepec, Jalapa (coll. Schaus); Guatemaua, El Tumbador 2500 feet, 
Rio Naranjo 450 feet, Las Mercedes 3000 feet, Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 feet 
(Champion). 

Mr. Schaus informs us that this is a rare insect in Mexico; we have only received it 
from Guatemala. 2. marciana is allied to Z. onustaria, from which it may be readily 
distinguished by its greyish colour, larger size, and blackish-brown head and collar. 


5. Aaschropteryx martina, sp.n. (Tab. XLII. fig. 3, 3.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries pale yellowish-brown, each crossed by a darker line, below which the wings 
are indistinctly clouded with brown, a black dot at the end of the cell on the primaries, the costal margin 
of the latter rather paler in colour than the other part of the wing; the underside of both wings pale 
fawn-colour, thickly irrorated with dark brown dots: head and front of the thorax yellowish-brown, 
the abdomen and legs darker in colour, the antenne brown. Expanse 12 inch. 


Hab. Guaremata, in the city (Rodriguez), San Gerénimo and El Jicaro in Vera Paz 
(Champion). 


Four specimens, all males. The example from the city of Guatemala is darker in 
colour than the others. _4. martina is not closely allied to any species known to me. 


MICROGONIA. 
Microgonia, Herrich-Schiffer, Samml. aussereur. Schmett. p. 41 (1855). 


Herrich-Schaffer referred three species to this genus, and mentioned another as 
possibly belonging to it.

Guenée included three species in this genus, one from Brazil and two from Colombia. 


CIRSODES.—SABULODES. 13 


It is allied to Sabulodes, from which it may be at once distinguished by the outer 
margin of the secondaries being very much rounded, instead of angular, as in that 
genus.

We have only received two female specimens of this insect; but both sexes are 
represented in Mr. Schaus’s collection. Our figure of the female is taken from a 
Chiriqui example. The Mexican male agrees with others of the same sex from 
Colombia and Ecuador in my own collection. 


2. Cirsodes arceno, sp.n. (Tab. XLII. fig. 4, ¢.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries pale brownish-fawn-colour ; the primaries crossed from the costal to the 
inner margin by two faint, waved, brown lines—the first nearest the base, the second almost submar- 
ginal,—and with several small black spots on the outer side of the external line, those nearest the apex 
being the largest, a dark brown spot at the end of the cell ; the secondaries crossed below the middle 
from the costal to the inner margin by a faint line; the underside very similar to the upperside, but 
more thickly irrorated with darker scales: head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, and legs pale fawn-colour. 
Expanse 12 inch. . 


Hab. Mexico, Las Vigas (coll. Schaus)

and also darker in colour. 


SABULODES. 
Sabulodes, Guenée, Sp. gen. des Lép. ix. p. 42 (1857) ; Walker, Cat. xx. p. 32. 
Guenée placed nine species in this genus, all from Tropical South America; and 
others have since been described by Felder and Rogenhofer, Snellen, and Oberthir. 
No less than eight are now added from our region.

2. Sabulodes arge, sp.n. (Tab. XLII. fig. 6.) 

Male. Primaries and secondaries uniform pale fawn-colour, slightly hyaline, both wings crossed beyond the 
middle by a very indistinct narrow line, and with very minute black dots on each vein, the fringe rather 
darker than the ground-colour; the underside as above, but slightly paler in colour: head, thorax,

Examples of both sexes of this insect have been kindly given to me by M. Léon 
Candéze ; two female specimens only were obtained by Mr. Champion. 


3. Sabulodes argyra, sp.n. (Tab. XLII. figg. 7, 3; 8, 2.) 

Male. Primaries and secondaries greyish-white ; the primaries crossed from the costal to the inner margin by 
three lines—the first two nearly straight, the third very much waved and joining the second line on the 
inner margin; the secondaries crossed from the costal to the inner margin by two faint lines, which 
coalesce on the inner margin above the anal angle; the underside of both wings nearly white, without 
markings, except a faint spot at the end of the cell on the primaries: head, thorax, and abdomen pale 
yellowish-brown, shaded with white, the antenne and legs very pale fawn-colour. The female is slightly 
larger, darker in colour, and has all the lines much more distinctly marked than in the male; it has the 
underside thickly irrorated with brownish-grey scales, and there is a rather large black spot at the end of 
the cell of both wings. Expanse, ¢ 13, 2 2 inches.

4. Sabulodes arses, sp.n. (Tab. XLII. figg. 11, ¢; 12, 13, ¢.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries very pale greyish-fawn-colour, thickly irrorated with darker scales ; the 
primaries crossed from the costal to the inner margin by three darker waved lines—the third very much 
proken and hardly reaching the inner margin; the secondaries crossed by two lines, the inner one very 
much more distinct than the outer one; the underside greyish-white, the primaries with the costal 
margin thickly irrorated with brown scales, and with a black dot at the end of the cell, a narrow black 
submarginal line extending from the apex to near the anal angle of both wings: head, thorax, abdomen, 
antenne, and legs pale greyish-fawn-colour. The female is slightly larger and more dusky in colour 
than the male, and has the submarginal row of spots on the veins of both wings much more distinct. 
Expanse, ¢ 14, 2 1? inch. 

Hab. Mxxtco, Coatepec (coll. Schaus, Brooks), Jalapa (M. Trujillo). 

Allied to S. argyra, bui easily distinguishable therefrom by the black submarginal 
line on the underside of both wings; the females of the two species, as will be seen 
from our figures, are very distinct. 

Two specimens only, both females, have been received by us; the male example is 
contained in Mr. Schaus’s collection. 


5. Sabulodes mastaura, sp.n. (Tab. XLII. figg. 9, ¢; 10, 2.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries very pale greyish-fawn-colour, thickly irrorated with darker scales; the 
primaries crossed from the costal to the inner margin by two waved pale lines—the first nearest the 
base, bordered on the outer side with a darker line, the second almost submarginal, the latter bordered 
on the inner side with a rather wide darker band,—and with a dusky spot at the end of the cell; the 
secondaries crossed by two very faint waved lines; the underside of both wings uniformly greyish- 
white: head, thorax abdomen, antenne, and legs pale greyish-fawn-colour. The female is larger than 


SABULQDES, 15 


the male, greyer in colour, and has the lines on both wings very much more distinctly marked. Expanse, 
13, Q 12 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Las Vigas (coll. Schaus). 
Mr. Schaus informs me that this species is common at Las Vigas in the month of 
May. We have not received any specimens of it. 
S. mastaura is nearest allied to the Guatemalan S. argyra. 


6. Sabulodes matrona, sp.n. (Tab. XLIL fig. 14, ¢.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries pale yellowish-white, crossed from costal to the inner margin by two very 
faint dusky lines, the submarginal line represented by a row of small dots on the veins, the fringe pale 
yellowish-white; the underside pale yellowish-white, considerably darker along the costal margin of the 
primaries, both wings with a submarginal row of small black dots, the ends of the veins with very 
minute black points, a black dot on both wings at the end of the cell: head, thorax, abdomen, and legs 
yellowish, the antennz yellowish-brown. Expanse, ¢, 1? inch. 


Hab. Mexico, Las Vigas (coll. Schaus). 


Seven specimens, one of which is of a darker yellow colour than the others, with all 
the lines very indistinct. 


7. Sabulodes meduana, sp.n. (Tab. XLII. fig. 15, 3.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries pale fawn-colour, paler at the base, slightly irrorated with darker scales and 
with black points along the outer margin at the ends of the veins; the underside greyish-white, the 
costal margin and the apex shaded with pale reddish-brown: head, thorax, abdomen, and legs the same 
colour as the wings, the antennsx reddish-brown. Expanse 1? inch.

This species has a very extended range, from California to Colombia and Peru. It 


varies slightly in colour, but can always be distinguished from the allied forms by the 
reddish-brown patch inside the row of black spots on the underside of the primaries.

the upperside, the costal margin of the primaries and a submarginal row of spots on both wings 
yellowish-brown: head, thorax, and abdomen the same colour as the wings, the antenne and legs 
yellowish-brown. The female is considerably larger than the male; it has a rather large square-shaped 
dark brown spot just below the end of the cell on the primaries, and on both wings the spots and 
markings are very much more distinct; the underside is also darker in colour, with all the spots better 
defined. Expanse, 3 1,45, Q 1? inch.

It is possible that S. colombiata may prove to be a large race of S. caberata; but, to 
judge from the specimens before me, I am inclined to consider it as distinct. It is 
always considerably larger, and is generally darker in colour and much more heavily 
marked.

Male. Primaries and secondaries dull brownish-fawn-colour, thickly irrorated with darker scales ; the primaries 
crossed from the costal to the inner margin by three waved dark lines—the first near the base, the second 
beyond the cell, and the third between it and the outer margin, the third line much curved above the 
anal angle and almost joining the second line on the inner margin,—and with a rather large indistinct 
spot just above the anal angle and a small spot at the end of the cell, both dark brownish-fawn-colour ; 
the underside considerably paler in colour, with the costal and outer margins shaded with dusky brown, 
the secondaries with a marginal row of small black dots: head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, and legs 
brownish-fawn-colour. The female is larger than the male, and has all the markings more distinct.

CERTIMA. 
Certima, Walker, Cat. xxi. p. 479 (1860). 


This genus was founded by Walker upon a single species from Bogota. He placed it 
at the end of the Boarmine, but it appears to me to be more nearly allied to Sabulodes ; 
I therefore place it after that genus.

number of specimens of both sexes, which agree perfectly with Walker’s types in the 
National Museum. 


MUCRONODES. 
Mucronodes, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 47 (1857); Walker, Cat. xx. p. 36. 


Two species, both from Brazil, were included in this genus by Guenée; and, according 
to Butler (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1881, p. 316), Cherodes transcendens, Walk., belongs 
to it. ‘The sexes of the last-mentioned species are very much alike; females only were 
known to Guenée and Walker.

This species varies very much in colour, the examples from our region being 
generally paler than those from the South-American continent. Mr. Schaus informs 
me that this is a common insect in Eastern Mexico, but we have only received a few 


specimens of it.

the other part, a curved narrow line crossing the wing towards the base, a black dot at the end of the cell, 
and a narrow pinkish-brown line extending from the apex to the inner margin above the anal angle; the 
secondaries crossed beyond the middle from the costal to the inner margin by a narrow pale pinkish-

CIMICODES. 
Cimicodes, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 49 (1897 ); Walker, Cat. xx. p. 37. 


Guenée referred four species from Tropical America to this genus, and several have 
since been described by other authors. Hygrochroa galbanaria, Feld. & Rogenh., from 
the Amazons, belongs to it.

This is a yather variable species, both in size and colour. Cramer's figure of 
C. clisthena is a very poor one, but I have no doubt that the insect described by 
Guenée under the name of C. Jatata belongs to the same species. C. manoaria, Feld. 
& Rogenh., from Brazil, although considerably larger in size, is probably a variety of 
C. clisthena.

Our specimen from Mexico is a female, and agrees well with Walker’s type of 
C. torquataria in the National Museum. It is quite possible that this species will 


have to be separated from Cimicodes, the antenne of the male being rather deeply 
pectinated. 


C. galbanaria (Feld. & Rogenh.) is closely allied to this species, from which it may 
be at once distinguished by having three (instead of two) lines crossing the primaries. 


3, Cimicodes primularia, sp. n. (Tab. XLII. fig. 21, ¢ .) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries pale primrose-yellow, a greenish-yellow line crossing the primaries from the 
apex to the middle of the inner margin, this line being continued across the secondaries to a little above 
the middle of the inner margin; the primaries with a very faint curved line crossing near the base from 
the costal to the inner margin, and two confluent spots, these spots whitish-brown, edged with dark

brown, and placed about halfway between the costal and inner margins on the outer side of the dark line, 
the upper one small, the lower one considerably larger; the secondaries with two similar spots above the 
anal angle and nearest the inner margin; the fringe primrose-yellow, slightly darker than the wings ; 
the underside of a brighter and darker yellow colour than the upperside, the primaries only crossed by a 
reddish-brown line (corresponding with the line on the upperside), the secondaries with three small 
reddish-brown spots near the apex, both wings very slightly irrorated with dark reddish-brown scales: 
head, thorax, abdomen, and legs pale yellow, the antenne and palpi pale brown. Expanse 14 inch. 


Hab. Guatemaua, Senahu in Vera Paz 2500 feet (Champion).—Ecuapor, Sarayacu

One specimen of this very distinct species has been received from Guatemala. An 
example of the female from Ecuador is contained in my own collection ; it differs from 
the male only in the entire absence of the spots on the wings.

This species varies very considerably in the distinctness of the markings, and also in 
colour. ‘The type of Clysia discolor, Walk., is now in my own collection; it is in- 
separable from Cramer’s species. The specimen from Chiriqui in Dr. Staudinger’s 
collection has a distinct white costal spot, and the usual markings and spots are very 
indistinct. In some of the Ecuador examples in my collection, captured by Buckley, 
the white costal spot is just visible. Walker mentions* a specimen from Rio Janeiro 
in Mr. Fry’s collection, which has the white costal spot; he also states* that Clysia 
comiciata, Guen., seems to be identical with Paragonia tasima (Cram.), which I am 
inclined to think is correct.

This species is allied to P. cruraria (Herr.-Schaff.), of which it is possible it may be 
an extreme variety. It is, however, considerably brighter in colour, and differs from 
that insect by having the outer margin of the secondaries straight in both sexes, instead 
of dentated as in P. cruraria.

In Mexico and Guatemala this appears to be a very common insect. It varies much 
in colour and in the distinctness of the markings; but, so far as the large number 
of specimens before me show, P. cruraria is always of a duller tint than either of 
the preceding species. At the same time, it 1s quite possible that P. occiduata and 
P. cruraria may prove to be forms of P. tasima, Cram. 


4. Paragonia arbocala, sp.n. (Tab. XLII. fig. 22, ¢.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries from the base to considerably beyond the middle pale yellowish-brown, 
shading in parts almost to white, and thickly irrorated with very fine brown lines; the primaries crossed 
from the costal to the inner margin by two dark brown waved lines—the first crossing the wing about 
the middle of the cell, the second beyond it, the latter not reaching the inner margin, but joining the 
very wide outer greyish-brown border about the middle; the secondaries very broadly bordered with 
greyish-brown from the costal margin to the apex; a small black spot at the end of the cell on both 
wings; the underside very similar to the upperside, but much paler in colour: head, thorax, abdomen, 
and legs pale yellowish-brown, the anal tuft almost white ; the antenne and palpi pale yellowish-brown. 


The female is slightly darker in colour than the male. Expanse, ¢, 145 2 12 inch.

genus, and adds a second species, from New Mexico, to it. I include in it three 
species from Central or South America, one of which is described as new.

2. Procherodes arrhapa, sp.n. (Tab. XLII. fig. 23, 9.) 


Female. Primaries and secondaries dark reddish-brown, in some lights with a bluish-white gloss; the 
primaries with a V-shaped white mark on the costal margin near the apex, below which on the outer side 
of the fine line that crosses the wing from the costal to the inner margin are a number of small white 
dots, a grey spot with a black point in the middle at the end of the cell, and three white spots crossing 
the wing near the base; the secondaries crossed about the middle from the costal to the inner margin by 
a narrow greyish-brown line; the fringe dark brown; the underside greyish-brown, darker at the apex 
and round the outer margin, a black dot on both wings at the end of the cell, and a small white spot on 
each vein, these spots forming a row that crosses both wings beyond the middle from the costal to the 
inner margin: head, thorax, abdomen, and antenne dark brown; the legs brown, thickly spotted with 
yellowish-white. Expanse 2 inches.

From the more southern localities mentioned above we have a good series of speci- 
mens, which show a considerable amount of variation in the size and colour of the dark 
spot near the anal angle of the primaries. On the underside the markings are all very 
constant. The sexes differ very little from each other in colour or shape. We figure 
a male example from Bugaba. 


LYCIMNA. 
Lycimna, Walker, Cat. xx. p. 214 (1860). 

Walker founded this genus upon a species from Silhet, and Butler (Trans. Ent. Soc. 
Lond. 1881, p. 317) has referred Clysia succedens, Walk., from ‘Tropical South 
America, to it. Lycimna was placed by Walker in the Ennomine, but it appears to 
me to belong to the Urapterygine.

A common species in Mexico and Central America. It varies very considerably, not 
only in size but in colour; some specimens are much darker than others. We have 
one example from Guatemala very nearly agreeing with Felder and Rogenhofer’s 
figure, but most of them are more highly coloured; on the underside they do not show 
the slightest variation.

This species varies considerably in the depth of colour on the secondaries ; the 
neuration is similar to that of Z. latrata. The insect figured by Snellen as Azelina 
caninata, Guen. (Tijdschr. voor Ent. xvii. t. 2. f 4), belongs to another species, and I 
propose the name snelleni for it.

Male. Primaries and secondaries light fawn-colour, thickly irrorated with black and dark brown scales; the 
primaries with three short brown streaks on the costal margin, three black spots near the outer margin 
above the anal angle, and a faint greenish-white narrow line crossing from the apex to the inner margin 
slightly above the anal angle, the outer margin and the fringe slightly reddish-brown; the secondaries 
crossed below the middle from the costal to the inner margin by a greenish-white line, above which is a 
dark brown zigzag line, and with a submarginal row of black spots extending from the apex to the anal 
angle, the spots nearest the anal angle being considerably larger than the others ; a minute black dot at the 
end of the cell on both wings; the underside greyer in colour, thickly irrorated with brown and greenish- 
white scales, the primaries crossed from the costal to the inner margin by two faint brown bands—the 
first near the base, the second slightly beyond the end of the cell,—both wings crossed by a row of black 
dots with white points on the outer side, the primaries with a submarginal zigzag white line extending 
from the apex (where it is very distinct) to the anal angle; the fringe on the underside rather lighter 
than it is above: head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, and legs pale fawn-colour. Expanse 13 inch.

5. Lycimna artena, sp.n. (Tab. XLIII. fig. 4, 3.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries pale fawn-colour; the primaries with a broad space along the outer margin 
considerably darker, a black dot at the end of the cell, and two narrow pale yellowish-white lines 
crossing from the costal to the inner margin—the first nearest the base, >-shaped, the second extending 
from near the apex to the middle of the inner margin; a line in continuation of the outer one on the 
primaries extending across the secondaries to the inner margin; the fringe fawn-colour; the underside 
pale yellowish-fawn-colour, that of the primaries darker in colour, thickly irrorated with dark brown 
scales, a dark brown line partly crossing the primaries beyond the middle. Expanse 13 inch.

This species varies considerably in colour: Central-American examples are usually 
much brighter than those from the South-American continent, but the single specimen 


before me from Mexico is the palest I have seen. 
A. vulpecularia is a common insect on the slope of the Volcan de Chiriqui. 


| IRA. 
Ira, Walker, Cat. xxxv. p. 1562 (1866); Butler, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1881, p. 317. 


This genus is very closely allied to Acrosemia, and agrees with it in having the antenne 
simple in both sexes. Jra contains a few species from Central or South America.

Guenée’s figure of this insect is a very poor one: specimens from Rio Janeiro in my 
own collection agree best with it, but I am unable to separate them from the darker 
ones before me from Central America. J. bendiata varies very considerably in size and 
colour, and also in the distinctness of the markings. We have received a large series

HERBITA. 
Herbita, Walker, Cat. xx. p. 212 (1860). 


The single species included in this genus by Walker is from Venezuela; two others 
are now added to it from within the limits of our fauna. Herbita is allied to Ira, from 
which it may be at once distinguished by the pectinated antenne.of the males. 


1. Herbita artayctes, sp.n. (Tab. XLIII. figg. 5,3; 6,2.) 

Male. Primaries and secondaries brownish-fawn-colour ; the primaries irrorated near the base, along the inner 
margin, and on the outer margin with greyish-white scales, and with a greyish-white spot on the costal 
margin near the apex, two faint darker brown bands crossing from the costal to the inner margin, a 
narrow, rather indistinct waved brown line extending from the apex to the anal angle, and a small black 
dot at the end of the cell; the secondaries very slightly irrorated with minute black scales, and with a 
submarginal row of very minute white spots and a black spot at the end of the cell; the fringe brownish- 
fawn-colour; the underside considerably paler and greyer in colour, and very slightly irrorated with black 
scales: head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, and legs brownish-fawn-colour. The female paler in colour 
than the male, and with all the markings blacker. Expanse, ¢ 2, 2 inches.

Male. Primaries pale fawn-colour, crossed from the costal margin near the apex to about the middle of the 
inner margin by a fine blackish line, which is edged on the outer side with greyish-white, and with two 
waved darker brown bands crossing from the costal to the inner margin—the first about the middle of the 
cell, the second beyond it,—and a very minute black dot at the end of the cell, the outer margin broadly

shaded with pinkish-white; secondaries pale fawn-colour, clouded with darker scales near the anal angle 
and along part of the outer margin, and crossed about the middle by a narrow line (corresponding to the 
line that crosses the primaries); the underside pale whitish-fawn-colour, with a very indistinct line crossing 
both wings: head, thorax, abdomen, and legs pale fawn-colour, the antenne and legs slightly darker.— 
Female. Primaries and secondaries dark reddish-brown, with the lines greyer in colour and the outer 
margins thickly irrorated with greyish-black scales; the primaries with the basal half banded with 
yellowish-fawn-colour (the colour being brighter about the middle of the wing), the spot on the costal 
margin near the apex much more distinct, and the pinkish colour on the outer margin less extended ; 
the underside of both wings altogether darker, and with a submarginal greyish line; head and front of 
the thorax yellowish-fawn-colour, the rest of the thorax and the abdomen pale pinkish-fawn-colour, the 
legs dark reddish-brown, the antenne whitish-fawn-colour. Expanse, ¢ 25, 2 2 inches.

Since the publication of my remarks on the genus Herbita, a specimen of the following 
species has been communicated by Dr. Staudinger. 


3. Herbita(?) nedusia, sp.n. (Tab. XLIV. fig. 1, ¢.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries reddish-brown; the primaries with the outer half clouded with greyish- 
brown, a narrow dark brown line extending from the apex to the inner margin near the anal angle, the 
line being marked with small yellowish dots, and a large light-brown spot close to the anal angle, the 
fringe brown; secondaries crossed from the costal to the inner margin slightly beyond the middle by two 
narrow brown lines, the outer one waved, below which the wing is lighter brown, a submarginal zigzag 
brown line extending partly across the wing from the anal angle, the fringe brown; the underside of 
both wings pale greyish-brown, with the outer margins clouded with darker brown: head, thorax, abdo-

Guenée divided Oxydia into six groups, several of which have since been treated as

represented in our region. Some of its members vary to a very great extent.

This species varies to an indefinite extent. We have received a good series of 
specimens, but hardly two of them are exactly alike on the upperside: some are quite 
dark brown, with the lines crossing the wings very indistinct; others are of a pale 
colour, with the brown lines sharply defined. The underside, on the contrary, exhibits 
very little variation. It is possible that one or the other of these forms may belong to 
the species described by Guenée.

head white.

I believe this insect to be a well-marked dark form of O. vesulia (Cram.). It varies 
very considerably in size, colour, and markings. The males are always darker than the 
females. We have received a very large series of it from our region, and also from 
South America.

the primaries, and is then continued across the secondaries to about the middle of the inner margin; the 
primaries with the base broadly banded with fawn-colour, the apex and the outer side of the line crossing 
the wing to the outer margin also fawn-colour, an indistinct row of cream-coloured patches extending 
from the apex to the anal angle, the last patch much larger than the others; the secondaries with the 
base irrorated with dark fawn-coloured scales, and with a rather large irregular black spot near the apex 
on the outer side of the line that crosses the wing, the wing itself on the outer side of the line clouded 
with fawn-colour near the anal angle, and with three distinct pale cream-coloured spots extending across 
it towards the apex; the fringe pale yellowish-brown; the underside with the markings very much as 
above, but slightly darker in colour: head, thorax, abdomen, and legs cream-colour, the antenna» 
yellowish-brown. Expanse 3} inches. 


Hab. Mexico, Paso de San Juan in Vera Cruz (coll. Schaus). 


The single specimen from which the description is taken is so very distinct from all 
the forms of the allied species that I have ventured to name it; it is possible, however, 
that it may be only an extreme variety of O. vesulia (Cram.) or O. gastropachata, Guen.

Some specimens of this insect are almost uniformly coloured, and others very much 
spotted. I have very little doubt that O. platypterata, Guen., and O. nattereri, Feld.

28 HETEROCERA. 


10. Oxydia masthala, sp.n. (Tab. XLII. fig. 9, ¢-) 


Female. Primaries and secondaries reddish-fawn-colour, each crossed by a dark blackish-brown line; the 
primaries with two yellowish-white spots on the outer side of the line, the apex and part of the costal 
margin irrorated with black scales; the secondaries crossed from near the apex to the inner margin 
slightly above the anal angle by two very indistinct, waved, greyish lines; the underside darker than 
above, thickly irrorated with black scales, and with a blackish-brown line crossing both wings; the 
fringe dark yellowish-brown : head, thorax, and abdomen fawn-colour; the antenne pale yellowish- 
brown ; the legs fawn-colour, irrorated with black scales. Expanse 23 inches. 


Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Zrétsch, in mus. Staudinger). 


One specimen. Allied to 0. platypterata, Guen.; but differs from all the examples 
of that species I have seen in having a blackish line on the underside crossing both 
wings. It is possible, however, that this insect may prove to be an extreme form of 
O. platyptera. 


11. Oxydia medona, sp.n. (Tab. XLII. figg. 15, 16, 2.) 


Female. Primaries and secondaries yellowish-fawn-colour ; the primaries with a greyish mark on the costal 
margin close to the apex, on the inner side of which is a small white spot, a minute black dot at the end 
of the cell, a dark waved line crossing from the costal to the inner margin between the small dot and the 
base, a dark brown line extending from near the apex to the middle of the inner margin, and a sub- 
marginal indistinct zigzag line crossing from the apex to the anal angle; the secondaries crossed. from 
the middle of the costal margin to below the middle of the inner margin by a dark brown line, and with 
a small black dot at the end of the cell and a submarginal row of rather indistinct brownish points, the 
latter partly connected by faint lines ; the fringe yellowish-fawn-colour, that on the inner margin of the 
secondaries white; the underside marked as above, but glossed with white, the submarginal lines more 
distinct and quite white : head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, and legs fawn-colour. Expanse 2,1, inches.

One specimen from Chiriqui, very nearly agreeing with Guenée’s figure. 


13. Oxydia artaxa, sp.n. (Tab. XLIII. figg. 12, 13, 6; 14, ¢.) 


Male. Primaries pale olive-brown, shaded with darker brown at the apex and along the outer margin, a 
narrow black double line extending from the apex to the middle of the inner margin, where on the outer 
side a short curved black line joins it and encloses a pale-coloured somewhat rounded spot, the disc of the 
wing thickly irrorated with silky-white scales, a curved black line crossing from the costal to the inner 
margin nearest the base, the fringe brown; secondaries yellowish-olive-brown, irrorated with whitish 
scales near the apex and along part of the outer margin, and crossed in the middle by a very faint line, 
the fringe yellowish-brown ; the underside of the primaries bright yellowish-fawn-colour, almost yellow 
near the apex, faintly streaked with fine brown lines, and crossed from the apex to the middle of the 
inner margin by a fine brown line, which is edged with white on the outer side—that of the secondaries 
paler in colour, clouded with brown near the apex, and crossed beyond the middle from the costal nearly 
to the outer margin, but not reaching it and here curved sharply inwards to the inner margin, by a

narrow brown line, which is edged with white on the outer side, a small black dot at the end of the cell, 
the fringe yellow: head and front of the thorax yellowish, the rest of the thorax, the abdomen, antenna, 
and legs brownish-fawn-colour. The female is considerably larger and darker than the male, but has all 
the markings very similar on the underside; the colour is greyish-brown, and the lines crossing the 
wings are much fainter: the head, thorax, abdomen, antennz, and legs are pale brown. Expanse, 
3 23, 2 3 inches.

Five specimens, two males and three females. These only show a very slight 
variation in colour. We figure a male from the Volcan de Chiriqui and a female from 
Jalapa. 


14. Oxydia augusta, sp.n. (Tab. XLIII. figg. 17, 18, 3.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries pale greyish-fawn-colour, thickly irrorated with brown scales ; the primaries 
with three brown streaks crossing from the costal margin towards the outer margin, a zigzag brown line 
(curving inwards) crossing near the base from the costal to the inner margin, and a black line edged on 
the outer side with greyish-white extending from the apex to the middle of the inner margin, the wing 
on the outer side of the black line much clouded with reddish-brown ; the secondaries partly crossed 
about the middle by a narrow black line and clouded on the outer side of this line with dark brown, a 
submarginal zigzag line extending from near the apex to the anal angle; the underside bright yellowish- 
fawn-colour, the primaries shaded with greyish-white near the apex, and crossed by a narrow brown line 
edged with greyish-white ; the fringe yellow: head and front of the thorax yellowish-fawn-colour, the 
rest of the thorax, the abdomen, and legs pale fawn-colour, the antenne brown. The female similar in 
colour to the male. Expanse, ¢ 9, 23 inches. 


Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion).—Ecvuapor. 


Mr. Champion captured three specimens of this species in Chiriqui, and I have a

30 (IHETEROCERA. 


The three female specimens before me are very similar in colour and markings ; the 
one from Mexico in Mr. Schaus’s collection is paler than the others and has the dusky 
lines across the wings less distinct ; the one from Guatemala is considerably darker. 
The male is apparently unknown. 


2. Drepanodes moneta, sp.n. (Tab. XLIV. fig. 2, 2.) 

Female. Primaries and secondaries pale brownish-fawn-colour ; the primaries crossed from the apex to the inner 
margin by a narrow dark brown line, edged on the inner side with a very narrow silvery-white line, a 
curved dark fawn-coloured line near the base, a second line crossing the wing from the costal margin 
beyond the cell and joining the line extending from the apex to the inner margin beyond the middle, the 
apex and the outer margin thickly irrorated with black scales; the secondaries crossed about the middle 
by a continuation of the line on the primaries, and with a waved dark fawn-coloured submarginal line 
extending from the apex to the anal angle, and a black dot in the middle of the cell; the fringe reddish- 
brown; the underside pale yellowish-fawn-colour, thickly irrorated with small black spots, the outer 
margins of both wings broadly bordered with dark reddish-brown: head, antennz, thorax, abdomen, and 
legs pale fawn-colour. Expanse 13 inch.

pion).— Guiana, Surinam 2 ° 4, 


This species varies very much on the upperside: in some specimens the line crossing 
both wings is dark brown, in others it is almost wanting; the yellowish-white spots 
near the anal angle of the primaries, as shown in Herrich-Schaffer’s figure, are some- 
times entirely obliterated or replaced by blackish patches or dots. The underside 
shows little variation. 


4. Drepanodes astanda, sp.n. (Tab. XLIV. fig. 3.) 


Primaries and secondaries orange-yellow ; the primaries slightly clouded at the base with a darker colour, and 
with a black dot in the middle of the cell, and a faint reddish-brown line extending from the apex to the 
inner margin above the anal angle, the outer margin of the wing irrorated with silvery-white scales ; the 
secondaries with a small black dot in the cell and two indistinct blackish-brown patches below the middle 
nearest the anal angle, the outer margin irrorated with silvery-white scales ; the underside of both wings 
bright yellow, the outer margins broadly bordered with dark reddish-brown: head, thorax, antenne, and 
legs pale yellow; (abdomen wanting). Expanse 17 inch.

6. Drepanodes asina, sp.n. (Tab. XLIV. fig. 4, 3.) 

Male. Primaries and secondaries uniformly pale reddish-fawn-colour, slightly darker round the outer margins, 
the fringe pale yellowish-fawn-colour, both wings crossed by a darker reddish-fawn-coloured line bordered 
on the outer side with a much paler fawn-coloured line; the underside very similar in colour to the 
upperside but slightly paler, the central line crossing the wings very indistinct: head, thorax, abdomen, 
antenneg, and legs pale fawn-colour. Expanse 1} inch.

8. Drepanodes (2) melina, sp.n. (Tab. XLIV. fig. 5, 2 .) 


Primaries and secondaries dark brown; the primaries crossed by two darker brown lines—the first near the 
base, the second extending from the apex to the middle of the inner margin, the latter bordered on the 
outer side with a rather wide greyish line which is widened towards the apex; the underside very similar 
to the upperside, but considerably paler, excepting round the outer margins: head, thorax, abdomen, 
antenne, and legs dark brown. Expanse 1,4, inch. 


Hab. Mexico, Presidio de Mazatlan (Forrer), Paso de San Juan in Vera Cruz (coll. 
Schaus); Guatemaua, Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 feet (Champion). 

Our description and figure of this insect are taken from a Guatemalan example. I 
include this species in the genus Drepanodes with considerable doubt, all the specimens 
before me being females. ‘The example from Presidio is paler than any of the others, 
and has the lines crossing the wings much more distinct.

same species. 


FALCINODES. 
Faicinodes, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 33 (1857). 
Halesa, Walker, Cat. xx. p. 211 (1860). 

The genus Falcinodes was founded by Guenée upon a single species (Ff. corvinaria) 
from Cayenne, the female only of which was known to him; the type (3) of Halesa, 
Walk. (H. asychisaria), was from Brazil. Additional species from Tropical America 
have since been described by Butler and Snellen.

The single male specimen from Mexico in Mr. Schaus’s collection is rather darker 
than Snellen’s figure, and has a much darker patch on the secondaries near the anal 


angle ; but it probably belongs to the same species. The female is altogether more 
heavily marked than the male.

Cratoptera contains a few species from Tropical America. Four are here recorded 
from within our limits, three of which are described as new. 


1, Cratoptera arvina, sp.n. (Tab. XLIV. fig. 10, 2.) 


Female. Primaries and secondaries pale grey with a slight yellowish tinge, irrorated with very minute black

dots, a small black dot at the end of the cell of both wings, and a very faint brown spot on the costal 
margin just before the apex; the underside coloured as above: head, thorax, abdomen, antennz, and legs 
pale grey. Expanse 13 inch. . 
Hab. Muxico, Presidio de Mazatlan (Forrer), Paso de San Juan in Vera Cruz (coll. 


Schaus). 

Mr. Schaus’s specimens are rather more distinctly marked than ours; a worn male 
in his collection has the dark mark on the costal margin of the primaries very much 
more distinct, and is more shaded with yellow at the anal angle, and partly round the 
outer margin of the secondaries. We figure a female from Presidio de Mazatlan. 


2. Cratoptera mena, sp.n. (Tab. XLIV. fig. 11, 9.) 

Female. Primaries and secondaries greyish-mouse-colour, the primaries shaded with dark brown at the apex, 
and with a dark brown line crossing from the apex to the inner margin close to the base, this line con- 
tinuing across the secondaries to the inner margin, both wings with a submarginal waved pale line with 
dark spots, the fringe dark brown; the underside pale mouse-colour, without markings: head, thorax, 
abdomen, legs, and antenne pale mouse-colour. Expanse 13? inch. 


Hab. Panama, Bugaba 1000 feet (Champion). 


One specimen. ‘This insect is allied to C. retectaria, Feld. & Rogenh., from which 
it may be at once distinguished by its darker colour and the waved submarginal line 
to both wings. It also approaches an undescribed species from Ecuador in my own 
collection. 


3. Cratoptera atina, sp.n. (lab. XLIV. figg. 12, 13, 2.) 

Female. Primaries reddish-brown, crossed in the middle by a wide greenish-brown band, edged on the outer 
side with a silvery-grey line and on the inner side with a similarly-coloured much dentated line, the 
latter extending from the costal to the inner margin, a submarginal row of dark brown spots with silvery- 
grey points extending from the apex to the anal angle, and a small black dot at the end of the cell, the 
marginal line grey, the fringe dark reddish-brown ; secondaries reddish-brown, with the base greenish- 
brown, a greyish line crossing the wing above the middle from the costal to the inner margin, the fringe 
dark reddish-brown ; underside bright orange-yellow, the primaries slightly irrorated with brown scales, 
and with a dark brown narrow line crossing from the apex to about the middle of the inner margin, the 
apex with two or three small patches of white scales close to the costal margin, a submarginal row of 
dark brown spots extending from just below the apex to the anal angle, the secondaries with a few very 
minute dark brown dots close to the anal angle: head, thorax, abdomen, and legs dark reddish-brown 
above, bright orange-yellow beneath ; antenne dark brown. Expanse 1,§, inch.

This insect is exceedingly common throughout ‘Tropical America. It varies to any 
extent, from bright yellow to brownish-fawn-colour, and has been described under a 
considerable number of names, the sexes always as distinct species. With a series of 
over three hundred specimens before me, I am quite unable to separate any of the 
seven so-called species quoted above from G. fundaria, examples from the same 
locality completely running one into the other. I have only placed those together of 
which I have seen the types, or have specimens which have been named from the 
types; but there can be very little doubt that several others described by Walker will 


prove to be inseparable from G. fundaria (Guen.). The locality for Apicia juncturaria 
is given by Guenée® as North America? or Brazil ?

GYNOPTERYX. 37 


3. Gynopteryx asopia, sp.n. (Tab. XLIV. fig. 14, ¢.) 

Male. Primaries and secondaries very pale fawn-colour, the primaries slightly darker at the base, both wings 
crossed beyond the middle by a narrow brown line, and with a black dot at the end of the cell, their 
outer margins broadly clouded with dark brown; the underside very similar in colour, but without a line 
crossing the wings: head, thorax, and abdomen pale fawn-colour, the antenn» brown. The female more 
dusky in colour than the male. Expanse 17 inch.

Mexican specimens are rather smaller and paler than those from Guatemala. Our 
description and figure are taken from Zapote examples. ‘The female is unknown 
to me. 


4, Gynopteryx mynes, sp.n. (Tab. XLIV. fig. 15, ¢.) 

Male. Primaries and secondaries pale brownish-white, thickly irrorated with pale brown scales, both wings 
crossed beyond the middle by a waved dark brown line edged on the outer side with white, and with a 
black dot at the end of the cell; the primaries also with two indistinct curved pale brown lines crossing from 
the costal to the inner margin—the first near the base, the second between the cell and the dark brown 
line,—and on the outer side of the dark brown line a row of brownish-black spots—the first three small 
and distinct, the fourth larger and suffused ; the marginal line of both wings pale brown and the fringe 
pale greyish-brown; the underside very similarly coloured, but more irrorated with brown scales. 
Expanse 14 inch. 


Hab. Mexico, Cuernavaca in Morelos (H. H. Smith). 


Two specimens, both males. 


5. Gynopteryx megasa, sp.n. (Tab. XLIV. fig. 16, .) 

Male, Primaries and secondaries pale greyish-brown, both wings crossed by a pale yellow line edged on the 
inner side with reddish-brown, a rather large <-shaped mark near the base of the primaries, the 
marginal line of both wings reddish-brown, and the fringe greyish-brown; the underside pale yellowish- 
grey, very thickly irrorated with brown scales, the lines as above, but not nearly so distinct: head, 
thorax, abdomen, antennex, and legs greyish-brown, the anal tuft slightly yellowish. Expanse 13 inch. 


Hab. Mexico, Amula in Guerrero 6000 feet, Cuernavaca in Morelos (H. H. Smith). 


Two examples. GG. megasa is allied to G. fundaria (Guen.), from which it may be 
at once distinguished by the lines crossing the wings on the underside. The specimen 
from Cuernavaca is slightly paler than the one from Amula, from which the descrip- 


tion is taken. 


6. Gynopteryx minoa, sp.n. (Tab. XLIV. fig. 17, ¢.) 

Male. Primaries and secondaries pale reddish-fawn-colour, darker round the outer margins ; a narrow reddish- 
brown line edged on the inner side with pale yellowish-brown extending from the apex of the primaries 
to the inner margin of the secondaries, a minute black dot at the end of the cell on both wings; the 
underside very much as above, but paler in colour: head, thorax, abdomen, and legs pale fawn-colour, 
the antennex pale brown. The female very like the male, but slightly irrorated with brown scales,

a minute black spot at the end of the cell; the secondaries crossed about the middle from the costal to 
the inner margin by a yellow line edged with white, and with three or four very indistinct brown 
submarginal dots near the anal angle ; the underside rather paler in colour: head, thorax, and antenne 
pale brown, the tegule yellow, the abdomen and legs. brownish-yellow. The female of a darker yellow 
colour than the male, with the outer border of the primaries considerably paler and with some indistinct 
greyish spots. Expanse, ¢ 13, 2 1,% inch. .

which is edged on the inner side with reddish-brown, and with a <-shaped line close to the base extending 
from the costal to the inner margin, the fringe dark brown ; secondaries paler brown, almost cream- 
colour on the costal margin, with a cream-coloured line partly crossing from the inner margin about the 
middle but not reaching the costal margin, the fringe silky-brown ; the underside pale brown with a 
yellowish tinge, thickly irrorated with brown scales, the outer margins bordered with darker brown: 
head, thorax, abdomen, antenna, and legs brown. Expanse 1,2, inch.

Apparently a very common insect throughout our region. It varies exceedingly in 
both sexes, from creamy-white to dark brown, but in no one locality is it at all 
constant. Our description and figures are taken from Guatemalan specimens, these 
belonging to the form of which we have the largest number of examples. <A female 
from Bugaba differs from the others in its very dark brown colour; it may prove to be 
specifically distinct. 

We figure a pair from Zapote. 


8. Apicia aurana, sp.n. (Jab. XLIV. fig. 25, .) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries very pale yellow, thickly irrorated and streaked with fine brown lines and 
spots, both wings with a black dot at the end of the cell and the outer margin very broadly bordered 
with purplish-brown, the inner side of the marginal band very much dentated, the fringe purplish- 


brown; the underside very much as above: head, thorax, and abdomen pale yellow, the legs yellow,

margin by two fine brown lines, which are edged with pale yellow—the first >-shaped, near the base, 
the second beyond the middle,—and with a small black dot at the end of the cell, the secondaries crossed 
about the middle by a narrow brown line, the fringe greyish; the underside coloured as above, but 
entirely without markings: head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, and legs greyish-fawn-colour. Expanse

and near the base, the second beyond the middle,—and with a black dot at the end of the cell and a sub- 
marginal row of very indistinct brownish-yellow spots; the secondaries crossed about the middle from 
the costal to the inner margin by a fine brown line, and with a submarginal row of very indistinct spots 
extending from the apex to the anal angle; the underside very pale yellow, with the lines indistinct: 
head, thorax, and abdomen yellow, the antenne and legs brownish-yellow. The female orange-yellow, 
very heavily blotched and irrorated with pale reddish-fawn-colour, and the underside more distinctly 
marked than in the male. Expanse, ¢ 1,%;, 2 14 inch.

This species varies very considerably, not only in colour, but in the distinctness of 
the markings, some specimens being almost clear yellow, with only the lines crossing 
the wings. 

We figure a pair from Las Mercedes.

A common and very variable species. We have received a large series of specimens, 
many of which are almost identical with Herrich-Schaffer’s figure; others are fawn- 
colour, with the lines broader and darker. It is quite possible that Microgonia 
polygrapharia, Herr.-Schaff., from Brazil, is only a variety of this species; many of 
our specimens of the latter are darker than it, but they have no white line crossing 
the wings. 


13. Apicia aurelia, sp.n. (Tab. XLV. fig. 1, 2.) 

Female. Primaries and secondaries pale sandy-brown, considerably darker round the outer portion, both wings 
crossed beyond the middle by a narrow brown line, which is edged with paler colour on the outer side, 
and with two black dots at the end of the cell; the secondaries with a small brownish-black spot on the 
inner margin just above the anal angle, the fringe sandy-brown; the underside considerably paler than 
above, with the lines broken up into a row of very minute spots: head, thorax, abdomen, legs, and antenne

A most variable species, and very common in Mexico, where it is found on the wing 
nearly every month in the year. Some specimens are almost entirely yellow, without 
markings; others are very pale. A female in Mr. Schaus’s collection is without the 
brown margin to the primaries, agreeing well with one from the city of Guatemala. 
Our description and figures are taken from heavily marked Atoyac specimens; in many 
others we have received the secondaries are entirely without markings. 


2. Epione (?) megamede, sp. n. (Tab. XLV. figg. 5,3; 6, 2.) 

Male, Primaries and secondaries pale lemon-yellow, very thickly irrorated with minute pale brown streaks ; 
the primaries crossed from the costal to the inner margin by two pale brown waved lines—the first near 
the base, the second beyond the cell,—and with a small blackish-brown spot at the end of the cell; the 
secondaries crossed about the middle from the costal to the inner margin by a very fine brown line, below 
which is a second indistinct waved rather broader line, and with a small black spot at the end of the cell ; 
the marginal line of both wings pale brown, the fringe pale lemon-yellow; the underside considerably 
paler in colour, and with the markings very indistinct: head, thorax, abdomen, and legs pale yellow.— 
Female. Primaries and secondaries of a paler yellow colour than in the male; the lines very indistinct, 
being only indicated by pale brown streaks; a rather large irregular brownish-fawn-coloured spot on the 
costal margin close to the apex ; the underside almost as above. Expanse, ¢ 13, 9 1,% inch.

This species is very common throughout Tropical America. It varies in colour 
from bright yellow to greenish-brown, and some specimens are almost pink. In fact, 
we have every grade of colour between the specimens described by Guenée as Hypery- 
thra versatiliaria and Hiibner’s figure of Syrrhodia decrepitaria. The female appears 
to be subject to much greater variation than the male. The markings are almost 
constant in both sexes, but they are sometimes very faint. Specimens from the 
Antilles in my own collection show just the same variation as those from the main- 
land. The locality for Hyperythra mimasaria was unknown to Walker !?.

6. Acrotomia minucia, sp. n. (Tab. XLV. figg. 21,6; 22, 2.) 

Male. Primaries and secondaries pale brownish-grey, irrorated with grey ; the primaries crossed from the apex 
to the middle of the inner margin by a reddish-brown line, this line extending across the middle of the 
secondaries, both wings with a submarginal waved white line, the fringe grey; the underside pale yellow, 
irrorated with brown scales, both wings with a rather wide submarginal dark brown line (which is not 
nearly so broad in some specimens as in others), the primaries with three small white spots close to the

The type of this genus is 7. fasciaria (Linn.), of Kurope. Therina is very widely 
distributed, occurring even in Australia; six species from Central America are here 
referred to it. 


1. Therina axion, sp.n. (Tab. XLV. figg. 25,3; 26, 2.) 

Male. Primaries and secondaries pale greyish-ochreous, thickly irrorated with dark brown scales, the pri- 
maries crossed by two somewhat indistinct chrome-yellow bands—the first near the base, not quite reaching 
the costal margin, the second beyond the middle,—the second band continued across the secondaries to 
the inner margin above the anal angle, the fringe greyish-ochreous : head, antenns, thorax, and legs pale 

ochreous, the abdomen yellow. The female has the outer margins of the wings more angular, and is 
generally paler in colour than the male. Expanse, g 2, 13 inch.

3000 feet, San Gerénimo (Champion); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, 3500 to 4000 feet 
(Champion). | 

Varies slightly in colour and in the distinctness of the lines crossing the wings. The 
specimens from Guatemala and Panama are slightly darker than those from Mexico, 
these latter having a yellower tinge. 


We figure a pair from Amula. 


9. Therina betala, sp.n. (Tab. XLV. fig. 27, 3.) 

Male. Primaries and secondaries pale brownish-fawn-colour, paler at the base, the primaries crossed from the 
costal to the inner margin by two straight indistinct brown lines, and with a cream-coloured round spot 
near the apex, the secondaries crossed beyond the middle from the costal to the inner margin by a faint 
brown line, the fringe brown; the underside considerably paler in colour, without marking of any kind, 
except a faint trace of the cream-coloured spot on the primaries: head, front of the thorax, and abdornen 
ochreous-yellow, the rest of the thorax and the legs pale brown, the antenne dark brown. Expanse 
13 inch. 


Hab. Guatemaa, Cerro Zunil 4000 to 5000 feet (Champion). 


One specimen. I. detala may be at once distinguished from its allies by the cream- 
coloured spot on the primaries. 


3. Therina munda, sp. n. (Tab. XLV. fig. 28, ¢ .) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries very pale yellowish-fawn-colour, almost semihyaline, the primaries crossed 
from the costal margin near the apex to near the middle of the inner margin by a‘row of minute brown 
‘dots (one dot on each vein), these dots being edged with yellow on the outer side, the fringe similar in 

colour to the wings; the underside paler than .above, entirely without markings; head, antenne, thorax, 
abdomen, and legs yellowish-fawn-colour. Expanse 2 inches.

We are now able to trace this common North-American species southwards into 
Mexico and Guatemala. 
A male from Jalapa agrees well with Dr. Packard’s fig.4(¢). Apparently a rare 


insect within our limits, as we have only received two specimens. 


5. Therina bada, sp.n. (Tab. XLVI. figg. 1,3; 2,2.) 


Male. Primaries dull brown, the secondaries paler in colour; the primaries crossed from the costal to the 
inner. margin by two pale yellowish waved lines, and with a black dot at the end of the cell, the fringe 
brown; the secondaries crossed about the middle by a very faint pale line; the underside considerably 
paler in colour than above: head, thorax, abdomen, antennz, and legs dull brown. The female very 
similar to the male, but with the primaries mottled with pale yellowish-brown. Expanse, ¢ 13, 
@ 132 inch. 

Hab. Guatemata, Totonicapam 8500 to 10,500 feet, Quiche Mountains 7000 to 


9000 feet (Champion). 


Varies in colour from dull brown to reddish-fawn-colour. In some male specimens 
the lines crossing the wings are much more distinct than in others; the females are 
generally paler than the males, and are still more variable in colour. 


6. Therina (?) nomia, sp. n. (Tab. XLVI. fig. 4, 3.) 

Male. Primaries pale purplish-brown, crossed about the middle from the costal to the inner margin by two 
waved dark brown lines, which are faintly edged with yellow, and with a waved submarginal line 
extending from the apex to the anal angle, and a small brown spot at the end of the cell; the secondaries 
paler in colour, and crossed about the middle from the costal to the inner margin by a dark brown waved 
line; the fringe of both wings purplish-brown ; the underside much paler than above, and entirely 
without markings: head, antenns, and thorax purplish-brown, the underside of the latter, the abdomen, 
and legs yellowish-brown. Expanse 1? inch.

In some specimens of this species the grey lines crossing the primaries are much 
closer together than they are in others. L. ablinearia is very closely allied to the 
Brazilian L. empusaria, Guen. ; the latter, however, is a longer-winged insect and more 


opaque in colour. 


2. Leucula avitta, sp.n. (Tab. XLVI. fig. 3, 3.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries white, semihyaline, the primaries crossed from the costal margin near the 
apex to the inner margin by a row of minute black spots, one on each vein: head, thorax, abdomen, 
antenne, and legs yellowish-white. Expanse 1;‘, inch.

Male. Primaries and secondaries silky-white, slightly hyaline, the fringe white, both wings with a rather 
large greyish-black spot at the end of the cell; the primaries with the base of the costal margin edged 
with black, and with a faint greyish waved line extending from the inner margin across the middle of 
the cell, this line eontinuing along the costal margin nearly to the apex, and then round the outer margin 

- to the inner margin just above the anal angle, forming a loose kind of loop which encloses the black spot 
at the end of the cell; the secondaries with a submarginal greyish-black line extending from near the 
apex to the anal angle; the underside very much as above, but with the greyish lines hardly visible: 
head, antenne, and thorax greyish-white, the abdomen and legs white. The female very similar to the 
male, but considerably larger. Expanse, ¢ 1, 2 2 inches.

We have received a good series of this species from Guatemala. L. meganira is 
allied to L. adlinearia, from which it may be easily distinguished by the entirely 
different markings of the wings ; the greyish lines, however, are much more distinct in 
some specimens than they are in others. Our description and figure are taken from a 
Cahabon specimen.

One worn specimen, apparently allied to C. confusaria (Hiibn.). 


3. Caberodes axona, sp.n. (Tab. XLVI. fig. 6, 3.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries uniform reddish-fawn-colour, both wings crossed about the middle from the 
costal to the inner margin by a narrow dark brown line, which is edged on the outer side with yellow, 
the primaries with a small black dot at the end of the cell ; the underside considerably paler than above,

54 . HETEROCERA, 


. -'TETRACIS. 
Tetracis, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 140 (1857); Walker, Cat. xx. p. 172; Packard, in 
Report of the U. S. Geol. Survey of the Territ. x. p. 546, t. 5. figg. 18, 19, and t. 6. fig. 2 
(neuration). : 


Guenée included six species in Tetracis, five of which are from the New World and 
one from Australia; the latter is probably generically distinct. Numerous North- 
American species have been subsequently described by Packard. 


1. Tetracis coloradaria. 
Ennomos coloradaria, Grote & Robins. Aun. Lyc. N. York, viii. p. 443, t. 16. fig. 11 (¢)*.

fig. 47°, 
Hab. NortH America, Colorado }2.—Mexico, Pinos Altos in Chihuahua (Buchan- 
Hepburn). 


A specimen from Chihuahua agrees well with one from the United States in 
Mr. Grote’s collection, now in the National Museum. 


2. Tetracis azonax, sp.n. (Tab. XLVI. fig. 8, 2.) 

Female. Primaries and secondaries lemon-yellow, slightly irrorated with brown scales; the primaries with 
two rather broad broken fawn-coloured lines crossing from the costal to the inner margin—the first near 
the base, the second beyond the middle, the latter extending from the apex to the middle of the inner 
margin ; the secondaries with traces of a band crossing about the middle; the underside as above, but 
with the lines more distinct: head, thorax, abdomen, and legs lemon-yellow, the antenne yellowish- 
brown. Expanse 1? inch. 

Hab. Guatema.a, in the city (Rodriguez), San Gerénimo (Champion); Costa Rica, 


Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (Rogers). 


One of the Costa Rican specimens has the outer band crossing the primaries broken 
up into dark brown round spots, but in other respects it agrees with the Guatemalan 
example figured. 


3. Tetracis belides, sp.n. (Tab. XLVI. fig. 9, 2.) 


Female. Primaries pinkish-brown, paler at the base, along the costal margin, and on the outer side of the line 
that crosses the wing from the apex to the inner margin slightly above the anal angle, a black dot at the 
end of the cell, the fringe dark brown ; the secondaries considerably paler, with a whitish shade along 
the costal and outer margins, and a narrow brown line extending from the costal margin near the apex 
to the inner margin slightly above the anal angle, the fringe pale brown; the underside pale fawn- 
colour, slightly irrorated with brown scales, a black dot at the end of cell of both wings: head and 
thorax pinkish-brown, the abdomen similar in colour to the secondaries, the antenne pale fawn-colour, 
the legs greyish-brown. Expanse 2 inches. 


Hab. Mexico, Coatepec (coll. Schaus) ; GuaTEMaLa, Totonicapam 8500 to 10,500 


feet (Champion); Costa Rica, Rio Sucio (Rogers); PanaMa, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 
to 4000 feet (Champion). 


TETRACIS.—SELENIA. 55 


Four examples, all females. They vary considerably in colour, and the Mexican 
specimen corresponds best with the one from Panama. The specimen figured is from 
Totonicapam ; it is darker in colour than any of the others. 


EROSINA. 
Erosina, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 149 (1857) ; Walker, Cat. xx. p. 180. 


A single species from Brazil was included in Erosina by Guenée and Walker; I 
now add two others to it, one of which ranges from Mexico to Peru. 


1. Erosina rusticata. 
Sabulodes rusticata (Maassen), Reiss & Stiibel, Reisen in Siid-Amerika, pp. 57, 153, t. 8. fig. 1°. 
Sabulodes proximata, Dognin, Le Nat. 1891, p. 223. 
Hab. Mexico, Coatepec (coll. Schaus) ; Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 
feet (Rogers); Panama, Chiriqui (Arcé, in mus. D.), Bugaba 800 to 1000 feet, Volcan 
de Chiriqui 3000 to 4000 feet (Champion).—Ecvuapor 1, Loja?; Perv. 


This species is closely allied to L. hyberniata, Guen., the type of the genus Erosina. 
EF. hyberniata, however, can always be distinguished from H. rusticata by its smaller 
size and generally darker colour; it is well figured by Guenée. I am indebted to 
M. Dognin for specimens of his £. proximata. 


2, Krosina meropia, sp.n. (Tab. XLVI. fig. 10, ¢.) 


Male. Primaries brownish-fawn-colour, crossed from the costal to the inner margin near the base by a faint 
brown line, and with a dark brown line extending from near the apex to the middle of the inner margin, 
the wing on the inner side of this line appearing in some lights to be shaded with pinkish-white, the 
outer margin also shaded with the same colour; secondaries very pale fawn-colour, considerably darker 
round the outer margin; the fringe of both wings pale fawn-colour; the underside of the primaries pale 
silky-fawn-colour, darker at the apex and along the costal margin, that of the secondaries darker and 
slightly irrorated with dark brown scales: head, antenne, and thorax brownish-fawn-colour, the 
abdomen and legs pale fawn-colour. The female with the secondaries considerably darker than in the 
male. Expanse, ¢ 2;'5, 2 27 inches. 


Hab. Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (fogers); Panama, Chiriqui 
(Trétsch, in mus. Staudinger), Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 to 4000 feet (Champion). 

Allied to an undescribed species from Colombia in my own collection. A male 
from Chiriqut is figured. 


SELENTA. 
Selenia, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 292 (1816); Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 150; 
Walker, Cat. xx. p. 181. . ye 
Walker included six species in this genus—three from Europe, two from North 
America, and one from New Zealand, showing that it has a very wide distribution. 
‘Eight are now added from Mexico or Guatemala.

Pero, Herrich-Schiffer, Samm]. aussereur. Schmett. p. 63. 


Mr, Butler in his paper above quoted includes fifty-four species in this genus, all 
but three (or four) of which are from America, where the genus ranges from New York 
to Brazil; and others have since been described by M. Oberthiir. In our region 
Azelina is represented by twenty-three species. 


1. Azelina stuposaria. 


Azelina stuposaria, Guen. Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 160 (9) *; Walk. Cat. xx. p. 1927; Butl. Ann,

Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion).—Brazit}24, Rio Janeiro 3. 


Felder and Rogenhofer’s figure is much redder than any specimen I have seen, but 
the markings are identical ; it is possible, however, that A. fuscularia may prove to 
be specifically distinct. 

A female from Jalapa in Mr. Schaus’s collection is of a dark black-brown colour on 


the upperside, coming closest to those from the State of Panama; on the underside 
it agrees with them.

All the examples I have seen of this species are a little brighter in colour than 
Herrich-Schiffer’s figure. In some specimens the lines on the underside of the wings

9. Azelina asterodia, sp.n. (Lab. XLVII. figg. 8,3; 9,2.) 

Male. Very similar to A. anceta (Cram.), but greenish-brown in colour, with the outer border of the primaries 
generally darker ; the underside of the primaries with a large reddish spot near the apex, and that of the 
secondaries broadly bordered with pale yellowish-brown, both wings having a greenish shade in some 
lights. The female is slightly larger than the male, and has the bands on the primaries rather more 
distinct. LExpanse, 12,9? 2 inches.

Our figures are taken from a Mexican male and a Guatemalan female. Allied to 
A. anceta (Cram.), from which it differs greatly on the underside ; and also to A. lindigi, 
Feld. & Rogenh., specimens of which I have not seen, but to judge from the figure } it 
appears to be quite distinct.

11. Azelina astapa, sp.n. (Tab. XLVII. figg. 10,6; 11, 2.) 

Male. Primaries and secondaries pale greyish-fawn-colour, shaded with brown ; the primaries crossed by two 
waved dark brown lines, the wing between the lines being darker brown, a small grey dot at the end of 
the cell; the secondaries crossed below the middle from the apex to the inner margin by a waved blackish- 
brown line; both wings with a marginal row of very minute black dots, and the fringe pale fawn-colour ; 
the underside very pale greyish-fawn-colour, slightly irrorated with darker scales, the dark lines as above: 
head and thorax fawn-colour, the abdomen a little paler, the antenne and legs greyish-fawn-colour. 
The female varies very considerably in the colour of the wings, from yellowish-fawn-colour to reddish- 
brown. Expanse, ¢ 2, 1? inch.

Mr. Schaus informs me that this is the commonest species of the genus in Mexico. 
The single specimen received from the Tres Marias Islands is in very poor condition, 
but I believe it belongs to A. astapa. We figure a pair from Presidio de Mazatlan. 


12. Azelina melissa, sp.n. (Tab. XLVII. fig. 12, ¢.) 

Male. Primaries with their basal two-thirds reddish-fawn-colour, the outer portion considerably paler, two

18. Azelina micca, sp.n. (Tab. XLVII. figg. 15,3; 16, 2.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries pale brown; the primaries crossed from the costal to the inner margin by 
two very narrow waved brown lines—the one nearest the base edged on the inner side with grey, that 
beyond the cell edged on the outer side with the same colour,—and with a waved hyaline streak at the 
end of the cell, beyond which is a yellowish-brown mark, the outer portion of the wing shaded with dark 
brown, the fringe brown ; the secondaries crossed below the middle by a very fine waved greyish line, and 
with a hyaline spot at the end of the cell; the underside considerably paler than above, with a sub- 
marginal line only, which is very distinct: head, thorax, antenne, and legs dark brown, the abdomen 
much paler. The female duller than the male, and with the markings much less distinct, also without 
the yellowish-brown mark at the end of the cell. Expanse, $13, 9 1? inch.

Allied to A. incisa, Dognin, but a very much duller-coloured insect. We have a 
good series of it from Guatemala, but from Panama one example only, a female, has 
been received. The Mexican specimen differs from the others in having the lines 
crossing the wings more indistinct. Our description and figures are taken from 
Guatemalan examples. 


19. Azelina rumina, sp.n. (Tab. XLVII. figg. 17, ¢; 18, @ .) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries pale fawn-colour ; the primaries crossed from the costal to the inner margin 
by two fine waved brown lines, which are edged with white and enclose a darker brown band, 
and with a row of three or four dark brown spots extending partly across the wing on the outer side 
of the second line, the outer margin shaded with pale brown and greyish lines; the secondaries 
crossed below the middle from the costal to the inner margin above the anal angle by a waved black 
line, which is edged on the outer side with greyish scales; the fringe fawn-colour; the underside 
very pale fawn-colour, irrorated with brown scales, except along the inner margin of the primaries, 
which is yellowish-white, the dark lines as above and very distinct, a large black spot at the end 
of the cell on the secondaries: head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, and legs pale fawn-colour.—Female, 
Primaries and ‘secondaries bright reddish-brown, shaded with orange-brown ; the markings as in the

Allied to A. incisa, Dognin. The only specimen I have seen from Mexico is smaller 
and paler than those from the more southern localities. The females are all very 
much more highly coloured than the males. We figure a male from Guatemala and a 
female from the Volcan de Chiriqui.

Odontopera, if the species referred to it are really congeneric, possesses a most 
remarkable distribution—Europe, Abyssinia, the Cape of Good Hope, and Brazil each 
having one or more representatives. 

Gonodontis (1) semilutearia, Feld. & Rogenh., the female only of which is known, 
seems to me best placed here, as it agrees with O. didentata (Linn.), the type of the genus, 
in form and neuration, though very different in colour. One new species from Central 
~ America is now added.

crossed below the middle by avery faint brown line ; the fringe pale fawn-colour; the underside greyish- 
white, slightly irrorated with fawn-coloured scales : head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, and legs pale 
fawn-colour. Expanse 2 inches.

The few known species of this genus, with one exception, are North American ; four 
are now added from Central America. 


1. Metanema cabiria, sp. n. (Tab. XLVII. figg. 20, ¢; 21, 2.) 


Male. Primaries pale brown, crossed by two narrow darker brown lines—the first nearest the base, the second

Mychonia, Herrich-Schiaffer, Samml. aussereur. Schmett. pp. 63, 83 (1850-58). 


The type of this genus is M. corticinaria, Herr.-Schaff., from Brazil. I refer to it, 
with some doubt, two species from Central America. 


MYCHONIA.—HIMERA. 69 


1. Mychonia (?) bityla, sp. n. (Tab. XLVII. fig. 27, ¢ .)

This subfamily, so far as at present known, is represented in Central America by three 
species only, belonging to two genera. 


AMPHIDASIS.

Amphadasys, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 206; Walker, Cat. xxi. p. 805. 


A widely-distributed genus, no species of which has been hitherto recorded from 
within our limits.

Central-American specimens are larger than those from Venezuela and Brazil. 
Though the species is very widely distributed in America, it varies but little. 


2. Amphidasis matharma, sp.n. (Tab. XLVIII. figg. 5, g; 6, 2.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries dark reddish-brown, irrorated with black; the primaries from the base to the 
apex blotvhed with greyish-white along the costal portion, the other portion of the wing sparsely dotted 
with greyish-white, the fringe alternately black and brown; the secondaries crossed from the costal to 
the inner margin by two waved black lines—the first a little before, the second below, the middle,—and 
with a round black spot at the end of the cell, the outer portion of the wing from the inner margin near 
the anal angle somewhat thickly spotted with greyish-white, the fringe brownish-black ; the underside 
considerably paler than above, with all the lines and spots very indistinct and confused: head, collar, front 
of the thorax, and antennz dark brown, the rest of the thorax greyish-white, the abdomen and legs dark 
brown.— Female. Primaries and secondaries pale brown, irrorated with greyish-white and black scales, 
both wings crossed from the costal to the inner margin by a submarginal waved black line, this line 
being much more distinct on the secondaries than on the primaries; the underside much paler than 
above, with the lines very indistinct: head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, and legs brown. Expanse, 5 2;4,, 


@ 34 inches. 


Hab. Guaremata, Cerro Zunil 4000 feet (Champion); Panama, Bugaba 1000 feet 
(Champion). 

Allied to A. crebraria, Guen., from Rio Janeiro, of which it may possibly prove to 
be a variety; but it differs so greatly in colour from Guenée’s figure of that insect that 
I have thought it advisable to describe it as distinct. We figure a male from Bugaba, 


and a female from Cerro Zunil.

1. Cleora godmani, sp.n. (Tab. XLVIII. fig. 9.) 


Primaries and secondaries grey, irrorated with blackish-brown, their outer margins darker, the primaries 
crossed from the costal to the inner margin by three waved dark brown broken lines, the outer one wider 
than the others, the secondaries with two dark brown spots on the inner margin, the marginal line of 
both wings dotted with black, the fringe grey; the underside paler than above. Expanse 17 inch. 


Hab. Norra America, El Paso in Texas (F. D. G.).—Mexico, Northern Sonora 
(Morrison). 

The description and figure are taken from specimens obtained by Mr. Godman at 
El Paso, those from Sonora being in very poor condition. 

C. godmani closely resembles the European C. glabraria (Hiibn.). 


BOARMIA. 
Boarmia, Treitschke, Schmett. von Europa, vi. 1, p. 187 (1827); Walker, Cat. xxi. p. 334. 
Seventeen species from Central America are here provisionally referred to Boarmia. 
The genus, as at present adopted by various authors, includes many species that do 


not belong to it.

Chiriqui specimens are more heavily coloured than Walker’s type, and they may 
prove to belong to a distinct species; but with our limited amount of material it is not 
advisable to separate them.

One specimen. Allied to £. calvina, but differing from it in colour and markings. 


4. Ergavia assecoma, sp.n. (Tab. XLVIII. figg. 24, 3; 25, 2.) 

Male. Primaries and secondaries reddish-fawn-colour, crossed from the costal to the inner margin by fine, 
indistinct, slightly darker lines: the primaries with the marginal line black and the fringe reddish-fawn- 
colour ; the secondaries with a distinct submarginal dark brown waved line extending from the costal to 
the inner margin, the marginal line black, edged with white on the inner side, a tuft of blackish scales 
at the end of the cell; the underside paler than above: head, thorax, abdomen, and legs reddish-fawn- 
colour, the antennee brown.— Female. Primaries and secondaries pale fawn-colour, with the lines dusky 
and very indistinct, a tuft of bldckish scales at the end of the cell on both wings ; the underside palur 
than above and with the lines even more indistinct: head, thorax, and abdomen pale fawn-colour, the

specimens, We figure a pair from Yucatan. 


BRYOPTERA. 
Bryoptera, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 278 (1857) ; Walker, Cat. xxi. p. 425. 
Guenée included six species in this genus, all from Brazil, some of which are of 
very doubtful value. One of these extends northwards to Mexico.

A common insect in Central America, and varying to any extent in size and colour. 


2. Bryoptera (?) candara, sp.n. (Tab. XLVIII. fig. 26.) 


Male? Primaries and secondaries pale fawn-colour, irrorated with black scales and minute spots; the 
primaries with five small black dots close together on the middle of the outer margin, the margin dotted 
with black, the fringe yellowish-fawn-colour ; the secondaries with a very large blackish patch extending 
from the apex nearly to the inner margin, and two narrow angulated black lines running across the 
middle, the marginal line black, the fringe pale fawn-colour ; the underside greyish-white, the primaries 
with a pinkish shade, both wings crossed by two rows of very small reddish-brown spots; head, thorax, 
and abdomen pale fawn-colour (antenne and legs wanting). Expanse 1,4, inch. 


Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). 


I place this peculiar little species in the genus #ryoptera with some doubt the 
single specimen received is without antenne, palpi, and legs. 


BRONCHELIA. 
Bronchelia, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 286 (1857); Walker, Cat, xxi. p. 450; Packard, in 
Report of the Geol. Survey of the Territ. x. p. 443, t. 5. fig. 4 (neuration) (1876). 
Some of the largest and finest species of the family Geometride belong to this 
genus, which seems to be exclusively American, ranging from the United States to 
Brazil, and also inhabiting the Antilles, The single species occurring north of our 


. BRONCHELIA. 81 


limits has been described under a variety of names by Walker; its larva feeds upon 
Liriodendron tupulifera. From Central America seven species are now recorded, some 
of which are not uncommon. 


1. Bronchelia subroraria. (Tab. XLIX. fig. 1, ¢.) 
Bronchelia subroraria, Walk. Cat. xxi. p. 452 (¢)’. 
Hab. Mexico}; Guaremata, Las Mercedes 3000 feet (Champion), Coban in Vera 
Paz (Conradt) ; Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 to 4000 feet (Champion). 


We have received a good series of both sexes of this species. The female is very 
similar to the male, but larger. We figure a male from the Volcan de Chiriqui. 


2. Bronchelia nasica, sp.n. (Tab. XLIX. fig. 2, 3.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries ochraceous, with black and white markings (resembling those of B. sudro- 
rarta, but with more white); the primaries with the apex and a round spot at the middle of the outer 
margin, and also the rest of the outer margin in part, white ; the secondaries with the brown spots and 
markings much larger and more distinct than in B. subroraria ; the underside yellower in colour than in 
that species, with the black marginal marks and bands much more distinct: head, thorax, and abdomen 
ochraceous, marked with dark brown, the antenne brown. Expanse 3 inches. 


Hab. Mexico, Las Vigas (coll. Schaus). 


One specimen. Closely allied to B. subroraria, Walk., from which it may easily be 
distinguished by the primaries having the apex and a spot on the outer margin white. 


3. Bronchelia conjugaria. (Tab. XLIX. fig. 4, ¢.) 
Bronchelia conjugaria, Guen. Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 287 Phalén. t. 3. fig. 11 (2)'; Walk. Cat.

dinger), Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion).—BraziL, Rio Grande 1 2. 


We have received numerous specimens of this species from Mexico. The females 
agree well with Guenée’s figure; the males are generally darker, and more distinctly 
marked. We figure one of the latter from Omealca.

I have seen four specimens of this species from Central America, three males and 
one female. It may readily be distinguished from all the others of the genus by the 
clear white ground-colour of the wings. Walker? erroneously quotes B. conjugaria, 
Guen., as a synonym.

Costa Rican and Panama specimens agree perfectly with others from Honda and 
Merida in my own collection, and also with the type in the British Museum. 


BONATEA, gen. nov. 


Male. Head large; thorax rather broad; abdomen long and stout, but not extending beyond the wings. 
Palpi thick, porrect, the third joint somewhat elongate, very blunt at the tip. Antenne long, filiform. 
Legs long, rather stout ; hind tibie much thickened, with a very long pencil of hairs arising from the 
base on the inner side, the spurs small. Wings ample: primaries slightly falcate at the tip, the costal 
margin almost straight from the base to the apex, where it is a little rounded, the inner margin straight, 
the outer margin convex, feebly dentate; secondaries large, their costal margin curved, the inner margin 
straight, clothed with long hairs, the outer margin very convex, rather deeply dentate. Type Oxydia 
duciata, Maassen. 


I include Bonatea in the Boarmine with very much doubt, but I do not know 
where else to place it. | 


1. Bonatea duciata. (Tab. XLIX. figg. 6, 7, .)

BONATEA.—GEOMETRA. 83 


One specimen from Chiriqui, differing from Maassen’s figure in its much darker 
colour and slightly falcate primaries ; but without seeing more examples it is inad- 
visable to treat it as distinct. Maassen’s specimen is probably a female, the one 
figured here a male. 


Subfam. GEOMETRINE. 


Many of the species of this subfamily are very difficult to determine, owing to the 
colour frequently fading soon after death. 


ACHLORA. 
Achlora, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 335 (1857). 
The species included in Achlora by Guenée and Walker are all South American; the 
northern limit of the genus would appear to be in Chiriqui, whence two representatives 
are now recorded.

The members of this genus can generally be distinguished from the other Geometrinze 
by the outer margins of both wings being white or pale fawn-colour, or in some cases 
blotched with white or reddish-brown. It contains a large number of species, and is 
very widely distributed.

The three specimens before me show considerable variation in the colour of the 
underside—deep yellow in. the one from Mexico, pale yellow in the one from 
Nicaragua, and yellowish-white in the one from Panama. We figure the Nicaraguan 
example. | 


2. Comibzena belisama, sp. n. (Tab. XLIX. figg. 16, 17, ¢.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries of a bright deep green colour; the primaries crossed about the middle from 
the costal to the inner margin by a rather wide cream-coloured slightly waved line, and with the apex, 
outer margin, and anal angle broadly bordered with dark brown, the fringe dark brown, the costal margin 
edged with brown; the secondaries broadly bordered with cream-colour, and crossed from the apex to the 
anal angle by a wide brown line, the apex itself clouded with brown, the fringe yellowish-brown; the 
underside pale greenish-white, the costal margin of the primaries and the outer margin of the secondaries 
tinged with yellow, the apex and outer margin of the primaries broadly bordered with very dark brown, 
a large dark brown patch at the apex of the secondaries: head and thorax green above, pale brown 
beneath; legs and abdomen pale brown, the latter with three dark brown spots close to the base—one on 
each of the first three segments; antenng brown. LExpanse 1 inch. 


Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 

One epecimen only of this beautiful species has been received, It is allied to

I have seen two specimens of this species from Mexico, and there is also an example 
of it in the Grote collection now in the National Museum. 


RACHEOSPILA. 
Racheospila, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 372 (1857) ; Walker, Cat. xxii. p. 581. 


The species of this genus are chiefly Tropical American; fifteen are now recorded 
from within our limits. 


1. Racheospila albociliaria. 
Geometra albociliaria, Herr.-Schaff. Samml. aussereur. Schmett. pp. 62, 82, fig. 344 (9). 
Racheospila albociliaria, Guen. Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 873 (?)?; Walk. Cat. xxii. p. 582°.

Male. Primaries very pale greenish-yellow, the costal margin from the base to beyond the middle yellowish- 
brown, the apex and half the outer margin dark greyish-brown, two faint fine lines crossing the wing 
from the costal margin to the middle of the inner margin, where they join and form a small brown spot, 
the fringe pale yellowish-green ; secondaries very pale brownish-yellow, crossed near the base by a 
greenish-yellow band, an indistinct fine brown line crossing the wing below the middle from the costal to 
the inner margin, the fringe yellowish-brown ; the underside yellowish-white, the costal margin of the 
primaries pale brown : head, antenna, and collar pale brown, the thorax and abdomen yellowish-brown, 
the legs yellowish-white. Expanse { inch.

14, Racheospila(?) batina, sp.n. (Tab. L. figg. 9, 10, 2.) 

Female. Primaries and secondaries pale semihyaline green ; the primaries with the base, a small streak at the 
end of the cell, and a wide band crossing from the costal margin nearly to the inner margin brownish- 
green; the secondaries crossed from the apex to the inner margin by a rather wide deeply dentated 
brownish-green band, the wing itself strongly angulated at the outer margin; the underside whitish- 
green, the marginal band black, the other band on both wings greenish-yellow: head and thorax pale 
green, the abdomen, antenne, and legs pale fawn-colour. Expanse 13 inch. 


Hab. Guavemata, Las Mercedes 3000 feet (Champion). 


One specimen. This insect has strongly angulated secondaries, but I do not think 
it advisable to separate it from Racheospila at present. 


15. Racheospila (?) asmura, sp.n. (Tab. L. fig. 11, ¢) 


Male, Primaries and secondaries very pale hyaline-green, with a whitish shade; the primaries with a large 
spot on the outer margin close to the apex and another at the anal angle pale fawn-colour, these 
markings irrorated with very fine white scales, a small black dot at the end of the cell, the fringe fawn- 
colour; the secondaries broadly bordered from the apex to the anal angle with pale fawn-colour, slightly 
irrorated with yellowish scales, the inner margin edged with brown from the base to the anal angle, the 
wing itself angularly extended at the middle of the outer margin, and with two small black spots on the 
margin at this place; the underside greenish-white, with the markings on the upperside showing 
through: head and abdomen reddish-brown, the antenne, thorax, and legs greenish-yellow. Expanse - 
1,3, inch. 


Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (mus. Staudinger). 


One specimen, quite unlike any other species known to me. The extended part of 
the outer margin of the secondaries forms a sort of short tail, and at this part two black 
spots are placed.

The underside in this species varies in colour: in some specimens it is yellowish- 
green, the primaries crossed beyond the middle by an orange-brown line, this line 
- being of variable width; in others it is pale silky green, without any trace of the 
orange-brown line. The specimens before me clearly show that these forms belong to 
one species, although the two extremes look very distinct.

Tachyphyle has hitherto included a single species from the Amazons; a second, from 
Central America, is somewhat doubtfully referred to it. 


1. Tachyphyle (?) neis, sp.n. (Tab. L. figg. 13, 14, 3.) 

Male. Primaries and secondaries pea-green, each crossed beyond the middle by a narrow brown line that 
extends from the costal to the inner margin; the primaries also crossed near the base by a narrow line, 
and with a brown dot at the end of the cell and a large reddish-brown patch above the anal angle, above 
which is a small spot of the same colour; the secondaries with a brown dot at the end of the cell, their

side greenish-white, the primaries broadly bordered with black on the inner margin and partly along the 
outer margin, the secondaries crossed by two black bands—the first near the base, the second about the 
middle,—the bands varying greatly in width: head, thorax, and abdomen green above, whitish beneath, 
the antenne brown. Expanse 13 inch. 


Hab. Mexico, Coatepec (coll. Schaus); Panama, Chiriqui (mus. Staudinger), Volcan

The specimen from the Volcan de Chiriqui, from which our description and figure 
are taken, has the primaries more heavily marked with reddish-brown than in either 
of the other examples; it also has the black bands on the underside much wider than 
in the Mexican representative.

Ophthalmophora, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 897 (1857 ); Walker, Cat. xxii. p. 613; Butler, 
Ent. Monthly Mag. xviii. p. 59. 

The species of this genus are confined to Tropical America. They are most beautiful 
moths, their wings being highly ornamented with metallic gold and silver lines, and in 
some cases thickly irrorated with metallic scales. Ten species are here recorded from 
Central America. 


1. Ophthalmophora prospectata.

Chiriqui specimens agree very nearly with Snellen’s figure; some of them are darker 
than others. 


2. Ophthalmophora mela, sp.n. (Tab. L. figg. 16, ; 17, 2.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries pale greyish-fawn-colour, very thickly irrorated with silvery scales; the 
primaries with a submarginal orange-yellow line extending from the costal margin to the inner margin 
close to the anal angle, and bordered on the inner side with silvery scales, and with a large round ocellus 
at the end of the cell—black, bordered with orange-yellow, and with a central silvery spot ; the secondaries 
with a submarginal silvery line and a row of marginal black dots edged with silvery scales; the fringe 
pale greyish-fawn-colour ; the underside pale silky greyish-white, without markings, the fringe pale 
greyish-brown : head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, and legs pale greyish-white. The female very similar 
to the male, but much less irrorated with silvery scales, the submarginal line on the primaries more 
waved, the secondaries darker, and the underside yellower in tint. Expanse, ¢ 13, 2 13 inch. 


Hab. Guatemaua (Conradt, in mus. Staudinger); Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de 
Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion).—Ecuapor. 


Allied to 0. prospectata (Snellen), from which it may be easily distinguished by the 
larger ocellus at the end of the cell on the primaries. The specimens from Ecuador in 
my own collection are rather darker in colour than those from Central America. Our 
figures are taken from Chiriqui specimens. 


3. Ophthalmophora alba, sp.n. (Tab. L. fig. 21, 3.) 


Mule. Primaries and secondaries pure white ; the primaries with a rather large ocellus at the end of the cell 
black, edged with orange-yellow and metallic gold, and a submarginal metallic gold line edged on the 
inner side with very pale yellow extending from the costal margin to the anal angle; the secondaries 
with a wide straight silvery line crossing from the apex to the anal angle, below which on the outer 
margin are two small black spots edged on the inner side with silvery scales; the fringe brown; the 
underside pure white, without markings: head, thorax, and abdomen white, the antenne and legs pale 
brown. The female very similar to the male, but slightly larger. Kxpanse, g 14, 2 14 inch.

Felder and Rogenhofer ! describe the male of this species, and also give a figure of 
the female. 
A male from the Volcan de Atitlan is shown on our Plate. 


6. Ophthalmophora asopis, sp. n. (Tab. L. figg. 19, ¢ ; 20, 2.) 

Male. Closely allied to O. limboguttata (Feld. & Rogenh.), from which it differs in its larger size, and also in 
the following particulars :—The dark patches are not irrorated with white, the ocellus on the secondaries is 
much more distinct, and the yellow band crossing the primaries is much wider and of a brighter yellow. 
Expanse, ¢ 1p;, 9 13 inch. 


Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Ribbe, in mus. Staudinger), Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 
3000 feet (Champion). 


The dark brown patches on the wings and its larger size sufficiently distinguish 
O. asopis from O. limboguttata ; the differences between the females of the two species 
will be best understood by a comparison of the figures. 0. limboguttata seems to be 
restricted to Mexico and Guatemala, and O. asopis to Chiriqui; we have received a 
good series of each of them. 


7. Ophthalmophora aspledon, sp. n. (Tab. L. fig. 22, 2.) 


Female. Primaries dark yellowish-brown, the costal margin, apex, and outer margin, and also a spot at the 
anal angle, orange-yellow, an indistinct metallic line crossing the wing near the apex ; secondaries orange- 
yellow, thickly irrorated with dark brown scales, the base dark brown, the darker colour being edged on 
the outer side with a line of golden scales, a submarginal row of minute metallic spots extending from

In some specimens of this species the inner margin of the primaries is broadly pure 
white, in others it is clouded with reddish-brown scales; the black markings on the 
underside are also variable, and sometimes almost wanting. The type was formerly 
in the Norris collection, and the locality quoted by Mr. Butler? is “ Limas.”

Female. Primaries and secondaries reddish-brown ; the primaries partly crossed from the inner margin by a 
pale yellow band edged on the inner side with white, the band extending along the inner margin almost 
to the base, a small yellow streak about the middle of the costal margin, the fringe dark brown; the 
secondaries crossed near the base by a silvery-white line, the apex and part of the outer margin edged 
with yellow, the ocellus and metallic spots very much asin 0. amabilhs (Cram.); the underside white, 
the outer margin of the primaries broadly bordered with brown. Expanse 13 inch.

3. Byssodes miletia, sp.n. (Tab. L. fig. 27, ¢.) 

Male. Primaries and secondaries dove-colour ; the primaries with a small or indistinct white spot at the base, 
and crossed from the costal to the inner margin by two white bands—the first narrow and towards the base, 
the second very wide and slightly beyond the middle,—the fringe greyish-white ; the secondaries partly 
crossed from the costal margin to near the anal angle by a wide white band, which becomes narrower 
behind, the anal angle clouded with orange-yellow, the outer margin partly white and with two black 
spots near the anal angle; the underside with the bands as above, but less distinctly marked, and the 
orange-yellow on the secondaries wanting: head, thorax, abdomen, legs, and antenne pale dove-colour. 
The female very similar to the male, but with the white bands slightly wider; the secondaries with a 
narrow submarginal metallic line extending from the anal angle almost to the apex, and the outer

Subfam. GONIACIDALIINA. 


This subfamily was proposed by Dr. Packard [Report of the U.S. Geol. Survey of 
the Territ. x. p. 311 (1876)] to include three genera, Goniacidalia, Pack., Calledapterys, 
Grote, and Callizzia, Pack., each containing a single species from the United States or 
Canada. One species of Calledupteryx has been described by Mr. H. Edwards as from 
‘Mexico; it is quite unknown to me.

Not uncommon in Central America. It varies in colour and in the distinctness of 
the markings: in some specimens the spots are black and well defined ; in others they 
are almost obsolete. 


2. Ephyra megista, sp.n. (Tab. LI. fig. 1, 3.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries reddish-fawn-colour, each crossed by two rows of very minute black spots,

and with a black marginal line, the fringe reddish-brown, a small greyish spot edged with black at the 
end of the cell on the secondaries; the underside pale pinkish-fawn-colour, without markings: head, 
thorax, and abdomen reddish-brown, the antenne and legs pale fawn-colour.—Female very similar to the 
male, but considerably paler in colour. Expanse 1 inch. :

This small species is allied to E. punctata (Stoll). Our figure is taken from a 


Guatemalan specimen. 


8. Ephyra citrina, sp.n. (Tab. LI. fig. 2, 2.) 

Female. Primaries and secondaries pale citron-yellow; the primaries crossed from the costal to the inner 
margin by three waved narrow brown lines—the first near the base, the second beyond the middle, the 
third submarginal,—and with a large greyish-white spot edged with brown at the end of the cell (more 
distinct in some specimens than in others), the marginal line yellowish-brown, the fringe yellow; the 
secondaries crossed beyond the middle from the costal to the inner margin by two waved narrow brown 
lines, and with a large greyish-white spot at the end of the cell (very similar to that on the primaries), 
the marginal line yellowish-brown, the fringe yellow; the underside pale yellow, with the lines and spots 
very faintly marked: head, thorax, abdomen, and legs pale yellow (antenne wanting). Expanse 13 inch.

grey dot edged with black at the end of the cell and a submarginal row of small black spots, the marginal 
line with black points, the fringe brownish-fawn-colour; the underside pale whitish-fawn-colour, with 
some black dots: head, thorax, abdomen, and legs brownish-fawn-colour, the antenns brown. The 
female paler in colour, and not quite so much spotted with black. Expanse 17 inch.

Walker, Cat. xxii. p. 673; Packard, in Report of the U.S. Geol. Survey of the Termit. X. 
p. 324, t. 4. fig. 2 (neuration) (1876). 


Walker in his Catalogue included nine species in this genus; others have since 
been described by Snellen and Packard, and we now add two from our region. 


1. Asthena carnana, sp.n. (Tab. LII. figg. 10, ¢ ; 11, 2.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries brownish-fawn-colour ; the primaries with a small black dot at the end of the 
cell, an indistinct submarginal yellow line broken into spots extending from near the apex to the inner 
margin (in some specimens this is much more distinct than in others), and some very minute yellow spots 
on the outer margin, the marginal line dark brown; the secondaries crossed below the middle from the 
apex to the anal angle by two rows of round yellow dots, the marginal line dark brown; the fringe 
alternately brown and yellow; the underside of the primaries very much paler than above, and with the 
yellow markings considerably larger, that of the secondaries pale yellowish-white, with the marginal line 
dark brown.— Female with the yellow spots and lines much more distinct. Expanse, ¢ 2, 1 inch. 


Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (M. Trujillo) ; Guatemaua, Las Mercedes 3000 feet (Champion). 


The Mexican example, a male; is paler, and has the yellow markings larger than in 
the Guatemalan specimens, a pair of which we figure. Allied to A. relaxata, Snell. 


2. Asthena neclas, sp.n. (Tab. LII. fig. 12, ¢.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries reddish-fawn-colour, each crossed by fine waved reddish lines ; the primaries 
with the costal margin, apex, and a streak on the middle of the outer margin shaded with blackish-brown, 
and with a round black dot in the cell, beyond which a pale waved line clouded with black on the inner 
side crosses the wing from the costal to the inner margin; the secondaries crossed about the middle by a 
waved black line almost broken into dots; the outer margin of both wings with black points; the fringe 
yellowish-brown ; the underside paler than above: head, thorax, abdomen, and legs reddish-fawn-colour, 
the antenne brown.— Female very similar to the male. Expanse, ¢ ?,1+); inch.

This genus includes a very large number of species from all parts of the world ; 
thirty-three are here recorded from within our limits*.

We have only seen two examples of this species from our yegion. We figure the 
Bugaba specimen, which is almost identical with Walker's type in the National 
Museum. 


15. Semiothisa castalia, sp. n. (Tab. LIIT. fig. 18, 3.) 


Primaries and secondaries white, with a very slight yellowish tinge, both wings crossed from the costal to the 
inner margin by a narrow submarginal pale brownish line ; the fringe white, brown just below the apex 
of the primaries; the underside very much as above: head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, and legs yellowish- 
white. Expanse 1; inch.

The female of this species is slightly larger than the male, and it also differs in 
being paler in colour and in having the lines crossing the wings more distinct.

I am indebted to Mons. P. Thierry-Mieg for the loan of his type of this and of the 
other Tropical-American species he has lately described. Of his Azeléna contorta we 
have a good series ; but it clearly does not belong to Azelina, and appears to me to be 
much more closely allied to Semicthisa, in which genus I have provisionally placed it. 
We figure a male specimen from San Gerénimo. ‘The female is considerably larger 
and generally darker in colour.

Central-American specimens, as well as others from Ecuador in my own collection, 
are slightly smaller and paler than Snellen’s figure. The particular locality for 
M. divergentata is not mentioned by Snellen!; the species is included amongst others 
described by him from New Granada, St. Thomas, and Jamaica.

U.S. Geol. Surv. of the Territ. x. p. 249, t. 3. figg. 2, 2a, b (1876) (neuration). 


This genus is closely allied to Lozogramma, Steph., from which it may at once be 
distinguished by the pectinated antenne of the males. Packard includes ten species 
from North America in this genus, and four are here added from our region. 


1. Thamnonoma imitata, sp.n. (Tab. LIII. figg. 20,3; 21,9.) 

Male. Primaries and secondaries very pale brownish-grey, slightly darker along the costal and outer margins ;

base, the second beyond the middle,—and a marginal line with black points, the fringe greyish-brown ; 
the secondaries without markings ; the underside yellowish-brown, with the lines very indistinctly marked. 
—The female very similar to the male, but generally larger and with a black spot at the end of the cell on 
both wings, the secondaries crossed about the middle with dark brownish lines ; the underside paler than 
in the male, and with the lines crossing the wings more distinct. Expanse, ¢ 1,%,, 914 inch.

I have a large series of this species before me. Both sexes show a considerable 
amount of variation in the distinctness of the whitish spot on the secondaries; the 
specimen from Coatepec in Mr. Schaus’s collection has this spot larger than in any 
other I have seen. We figure a pair from the Volcan de Atitlan.

PANTHERA.—ZERENE. 139 


This species is common in Central and South America, extending as far south as the 
Argentine Republic. It varies considerably in size and colour, and in the distinctness 
of the markings. To judge from our series of upwards of sixty specimens, there can 
be very little doubt that P. unciaria and P. colubraria, Guen., are nothing but slight 
varieties of P. pardalaria, Hiibn. P. leonaria, Guen., I consider to be a good species, 
differing constantly from P. pardalaria in having the spots darker, and the head, 
thorax, and abdomen deep black. | 


PERIGRAMMA. 
Perigramma, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 215 (1857); Walker, Cat. xxiv. p. 1182. 


This genus was founded by Guenée upon a Brazilian insect, P. nervaria, of which 
he only had the female before him. Of the two species now added to it, one is nearly 
allied to P. nervaria, and this has the antenne deeply pectinated in the male and simple 
in the female. 


1. Perigramma orates, sp.n. (Tab. LIV. fig. 9, ¢ .) 

Male. Primaries and secondaries pure white; the primaries with the costal and outer margins, and the 
secondaries with the outer margin from the apex to the anal angle, bordered with greyish-black ; the 
marginal line of both wings white, the fringe greyish-black ; the underside as above: head and front of 
the thorax yellow, the rest of the thorax and the abdomen white, the anal tuft yellowish, the antenne 
and legs blackish-brown.— Female. Very similar to the male. Expanse, 5 13, 2 1? inch. 


Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Ridde, in mus. Staudinger), Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui

We figure a male specimen from Bugaba. ‘This species is allied to P. nervaria, 
Guen., from Para, from which it may be at once distinguished by the blackish-grey 
border to the costa of the primaries and by the dark outer border of the secondaries. 


2. Perigramma (?) cesata, sp. n. (Tab. LIV. fig. 10, 2.) 

Female. Primaries and secondaries pure white, the primaries with the costal margin and a rather wide band 
crossing about the middle to the anal angle, where it is curved inwards, greyish-black; the fringe white ; 
the underside as above: head and antenne black, the thorax, tegule, and abdomen white, the anus 
yellow, the legs brownish-white. Expanse 2 inches. .

Female. Primaries and secondaries greyish-white, clouded with pale brown; the primaries with three white 
streaks on the costal margin—the two nearest the base quite short, the third longer and faintly continued 
across the wing nearly to the anal angle; the secondaries with several indistinct brown marks about the 
middle, the outer margin broadly bordered with very pale brown, a submarginal waved greyish-white line 
extending from near the apex to the inner margin; the fringe alternately pale brown and greyish-white ; 
the underside very much as above, but with all the markings darker and more distinct: antenne black ; 
palpi white, with the third joint, and part of the second also, black; the front of the head yellow, the 
collar, thorax, and tegule pale brown; the abdomen with the two basal segments greyish-white, the 
others brownish-yellow, each segment edged with a black line, the underside whitish; the legs brown.

I am much indebted to Mons. P. Thierry-Mieg for kindly sending me his type of 
this species for examination. We have received two specimens of MW. viatrix, both 
females, which differ from the type (male) in having the white spot on the primaries 
rather larger and extending nearer to the costal margin. A male from Dr. Staudinger’s 
collection is figured.

? Terenodes, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 508 (1857) ; Walker, Cat. xxv. p. 1453. 

The genus Graphidipus was founded by Herrich-Schaffer upon a single - species, 
G. fulvicostaria, from Venezuela, which we are now able to trace northwards to Mexico. 
Not having seen a specimen of either of Guenée’s species of the genus Terenodes, 
have thought it advisable to retain Herrich-Schaffer’s generic name.

LEPIODES. 


Lepiodes, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 359 (1857) ; Walker, Cat. xxiv. p. 1250. 
Two species were placed in this genus by Guenée, one from North America and one

Territ. x. p. 179, t. 1. figg. 14, 14.@ (neuration). 


Lobophora is represented in North America by about nine species, and two from 
Mexico are now somewhat doubtfully added. The genus is very widely distributed.

Larentia, Treitschke, Schmett. Europ. vi. 2, p. 75 (1828) ; Walker, Cat. xxiv. p. 1169. 


Walker included eighty-four species in this genus from all parts of the world. 
Larentia, so far as we know at present, is poorly represented in Tropical America, two 
species only having been described from that region. We now add five species from 
within our limits, two of which are doubtfully placed in the genus.

the apex to the anal angle; secondaries creamy-white, the marginal line brownish-fawn-colour ; the 
fringe greyish-brown; the underside white, very thickly irrorated with reddish-fawn-colour: head, 
antenne, and thorax pale brown, the abdomen greyish-brown, the legs pale brown.—Female very similar 
to the male, but more distinctly marked, especially on the secondaries. Expanse, ¢ 17, 9 14%) inch.

the secondaries with their outer half thickly irrorated with greyish-brown scales ; the fringe alternately 
grey and white; the underside almost white: head white, the antenne brown, the thorax and abdomen 
grey. Expanse 14 inch.

Male. Primaries reddish-fawn-colour, clouded with black beyond the middle, and with a yellowish-brown 
spot on the costal margin near the apex; secondaries very pale fawn-colour, darker at the apex and 
round the outer margin, a small black spot at the end of the cell; the fringe reddish-brown: head, 
antenne, thorax, and abdomen brown, the legs dark brown. Expanse 14 inch. 


Hab. Mexico, Las Vigas (coll. Schaus). 


One worn specimen. I place this species in the genus Larentia with considerable 
doubt. 


5. Larentia (?) plautilla, sp.n. (Tab. LV. fig. 17, 3.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries pale brown; the primaries crossed from the costal to the inner margin by 
two fine waved dark brown lines—the first nearest the base, the second beyond the middle,—and with a 
small black dot at the end of the cell; the secondaries crossed about the middle by a very faint brown 
line; the fringe brown; the underside paler than above, entirely without markings: head, antenna, 
thorax, abdomen, and legs pale brown. Expanse 12 inch. 


Hab. Guatemata (Conradt, in mus. Staudinger).

Scordylia, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 383 (1857) ; Walker, Cat. xxiv. p. 1274. 

Walker, in his Catalogue, included seventeen species in this exclusively Tropical 
American genus, and many others have since been added by various authors. It is 
represented in our region by ten species, one of which I have described as new. 
Guenée and Walker apparently overlooked Hiibner’s name, as it is not mentioned by 
either of them.

I consider H. basilata (Guen.), of which I have a very large series before me, to be 
quite distinct from H. conduplicaria, Hiibn., with which species Walker has placed it. 
HT. basilata is a much whiter insect.

Some male specimens of this species have a yellow streak down the middle of the 
hind wing. 


8. Heterusia clustimena, sp. n. (Tab. LV. figg. 18, 19, ¢.) 

Primaries and secondaries bright chrome-yellow ; the primaries with the apex broadly black, and a wide black 
band crossing beyond the middle from the costal to the outer margin ; the secondaries with a wide black 
streak extending down the wing from near the base to the apex, the outer margin bordered with black, 
which is deeply dentate on the inner side near the anal angle; the fringe greyish; the underside of the 
primaries very much as above, but with the apex and outer margin reddish-brown slightly irrorated with 
yellow scales, that of the secondaries chrome-yellow, very thickly irrorated with reddish-brown scales, 
especially at the apex and round the outer margin: head, thorax, and abdomen yellow, the antenne black, 
the legs yellow, the tarsi banded with black. Expanse 13 inch. 


Hab. Mexico, Coatepec (Brooks) ; Panama, Chiriqui (Zrétsch, in mus. Staudinger). 


This species is very distinct from all others of the genus known to me; in the colour 
and markings of the underside it comes nearest to H. anicata, Feld. & Rogenh.

154 HETEROCERA. 


Mr. Champion captured a very large series of specimens of this species, which show 
a considerable amount of variation in the size of the yellow marking on the primaries, 
and also in the distinctness of the white lines on the underside of the secondaries. 

According to Mr. Champion, this insect is very abundant along the summit of the 
Cordillera in Guatemala. It flies by day, frequenting damp sandy spots by the road- 
side, where it congregates in large numbers. 


OBILA.

Walker placed this genus in the Larentiide, without giving any indication as to its 
affinities. It is quite unknown to me.

‘This genus is represented in our region by one species, which has an exceedingly

The specimen figured by Felder and Rogenhofer * does not quite agree with Walker’ S 
type of S. dubiferata, but is certainly inseparable from S. affirmata, Guen. I very 
much doubt if the var. bicolor, Feld. & Rogenh. (op. cit. t. 131. fig. 38), from Colombia 


and Brazil, is conspecific with it.

‘The Mexican specimen before me is almost identical with Walker’s type, now in my

brown. 


PTEROCYPHA.—ISCHNOPTERYX. 157 


5. Pterocypha cometes, sp. n. (Tab. LV. fig. 22.) 


Primaries pale brownish-fawn-colour, with a greenish shade along the costal margin, apex, and outer margin, 
and with a brown line crossing near the base, several narrow brown lines beyond it crossing from the 
costal to the inner margin, a very fine waved white line crossing beyond the middle, and a marginal row 
of small white spots extending from the apex to the anal angle, the marginal line black, the fringe 
greyish-brown ; ; secondaries brownish-fawn-colour, crossed beyond the middle from the costal to the 
inner margin by three faint waved lines; the underside pale greyish-brown, the outer margins of both 
wings broadly bordered with black, inside which are several narrow black lines, a rather large black spot 
at the end of the cell on the primaries: head and thorax greenish-fawn-colour, the antenne, abdomen, 
and legs brownish-fawn-colour. Expanse 1? inch.

Varies considerably in colour and in the distinctness of the lines crossing the wings. 
We figure Mr. Schaus’s specimen, it being in much fresher condition than any of ours. 


ISCHNOPTERYX. 


Ischnopterix, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 332 (1816). 
Syrtodes, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 451; Walker, Cat. xxv. p. 1372. 

Walker in his Catalogue included eight species in this genus, and others have since 
been added by Felder and Rogenhofer and Méschler. Eight species are here enumerated 
from Central America, half of which are described as new. Ischnopteryx is probably 
confined to Tropical America. 


1. Ischnopteryx chlorata.

Chiriqui (Ribbe ; Trétsch, in mus. Staudinger), Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 
4000 feet (Champion).—CotomBia ; GuraNna, Surinam *. 


Apparently the commonest species of the genus. The females vary to a considerable 
extent, scarcely two specimens being alike ; the male also varies greatly in size. A 
specimen from Chiriqui in Dr. Staudinger’s collection is the smallest I have seen. 


2. Ischnopteryx bryifera.

Panama, Chiriqui (Zrétsch, in mus. Staudinger).—GuIaNa !. 
The male of this insect is very similar to the female; it is easily distinguished from 
the same sex of J. chlorata, Hiibn., by its longer and more angular hind wings. 


158 HETEROCERA. 


8. Ischnopteryx rostellaria.

There are two forms of the female of this species: one like that figured by Felder 
and Rogenhofer !, and another without the white on the primaries, the latter resembling 


the male in colour. 


4. Ischnopteryx velledata.

Two males have been received from Chiriqui. This species will probably have to be 
removed from Ischnopterye when we know the two sexes. The shape of the hind wing 
in the male is very different from that of any species of the genus known to me. 


5. Ischnopteryx chryses, sp.n. (Tab. LV. figg. 28, 24, ¢; 25, 2.) 


Male. Primaries dark sage-green, thickly irrorated with brown scales, and crossed from the costal to the 
inner margin by two zigzag, fine, reddish-brown lines, a fine waved submarginal white line extending 
from the costal margin to the anal angle and two small black streaks on the inner margin about the 
middle, the marginal line black, the fringe brown ; secondaries black, broadly bordered with yellow at 
the apex; the underside of the primaries chrome-yellow, crossed from the costal to the inner margin by 
two black bands—the first near the base, quite narrow, the second very broad and beyond the middle,— 
and with the apex and fringe fawn-colour, that of the secondaries yellow, with the inner half dusky 
black, and a black band crossing the wing from the costal to the outer margin where it is widest: head, 
thorax, and upperside of the abdomen sage-green, the antenne brown, the underside of the abdomen and 
the legs fawn-colour.—Female. Primaries dark reddish-brown, with the costal and outer margins and 
the apex pale greenish-brown, the white line not so distinct as in the male. Expanse, ¢ 2, 12 inch. 


Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Trétsch, in mus. Staudinger), Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui 
2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 


A very distinct species, not closely allied to any other known to me. We figure a 
pair from the Volcan de Chiriqui. 


6. Ischnopteryx canopus, sp.n. (Tab. LV. figg. 26, 27, 3.) 


Male. Primaries dark brown, irrorated with green scales, crossed near the base from the costal to the inner 
margin by a green line edged with black, beyond which a black line crosses the wing, a dark brown spot 
on the costal margin near the apex, below which are three small dark brown spots, a fine white line 
partly crossing beyond the middle, the marginal line spotted with black, the fringe dark brown ; 
secondaries brownish-black, with the apical portion bright orange-yellow; the underside of the 
primaries yellow, crossed about the middle from the costal to the inner margin by a rather wide black 
band, the inner margin from the base to the black band dark grey, a large oval black spot near the apex, 


ISCHNOPTERYX.—SPARGANTIA. . 159 


' the apex greenish-fawn-colour,—that of the secondaries pale yellow, shaded with reddish-brown, and 
thickly irrorated with dark brown scales, crossed beyond the middle by an indistinct black waved line: 
head, thorax, and abdomen dark brown above, reddish-brown beneath, the antennz dark brown, the legs 
reddish-brown. Expanse 2,1, inches. 


Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Trétsch, in mus. Staudinger). 
Allied to I. chryses. 


7. Ischnopteryx (?) aristophilides, sp.n. (Tab. LV. fig. 28, s.) 

Male. Primaries dark brown, with the outer margin broadly bordered with greyish-brown, three spots near 
the apex and one close to the anal angle dark brown, the marginal line black, the fringe dark brown ; 
secondaries pale brown, paler at the base and along the inner margin; the underside uniformly pale 
brown, the primaries with a whitish mark near the anal angle, both wings with a fine, waved, white 
marginal line: head, thorax, and antenne dark brown, the abdomen and legs paler.—Female. Very 
similar to the male, but without the greyish-brown border to the primaries. Expanse 2,1), inches. 


Hab. Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (Aogers). 


I place this species in the genus Jschnopteryx with considerable doubt. — 


g. Ischnopteryx (?) polymenes, sp. n. (Tab. LV. fig. 29, ¢.) 


Male. Primaries dark brown, crossed from the costal to the inner margin by two darker brown waved lines— 
the first near the base, the second beyond the middle,—with a dark brown spot at the end of the 
cell, and a marginal row of small brownish-white spots extending from the apex to the anal angle, the 
fringe dark brown ; secondaries greyish-brown, crossed beyond the middle from the costal to the inner 
margin by a faint waved brown line; the underside uniformly pale brown, the end of each vein 
yellowish-white : head, antenne, thorax, abdomen, and legs dark brown.—Female. Very similar to the 


male. Expanse 1? inch. 


Hab. Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (Rogers). 
Allied to the preceding species, I. aristophilides, but very distinct from it in both 


sexes.

With a large series of specimens before me I am unable to consider S. longipalpata,

Hab. Norra America, California?, Sanzalito ?—GUATEMALA (Conradt, in mus. 
Staudinger), Totonicapam 8500 to 10,500 feet (Champion).—EuRorx *°. 


The numerous specimens received (about fifty) from Mexico and Guatemala vary to 
a great extent, and I am quite unable to separate them from others from Europe. 
The insect also occurs in California. Many of the Central-American examples are 
almost identical with some of the English ones in my own collection. We figure six 
beautiful varieties, five males and one female, all from the summit of the Cordillera, 
Totonicapam, Guatemala. According to Mr. Champion, the insect is not uncommon 
in the Los Altos region of Guatemala, where it may be found on the trunks of pines 
in the daytime.

A common species within our limits. It is exceedingly variable, some specimens 
being almost white, while others are well marked with brown lines; hardly two 
specimens are alike. The locality for Spargania cultata was unknown to Guenée ?. 
If Guenée’s and Walker’s names really apply to the same species, the name cultata 
will have to be retained.

Psaliodes, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 480 (1857) ; Walker, Cat. xxv. p. 1428. 


Walker, in his Catalogue, included five species in this genus, all of which are from 
Tropical South America, and others have since been described by Snellen. 

Twenty species are here enumerated from within our limits, seventeen of which are 
described as new. 


1. Psaliodes nucleata. 
Psaliodes nucleata, Guen. Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 481+; Walk. Cat. xxv. p. 1429?.

PSALIODES. 171 


This species is allied to P. nucleata, Guen. It varies in colour and in the distinct- 
ness of the markings on the primaries. We have a good series of specimens from 
Totonicapam. 


3. Psaliodes pomona, sp.n. (Tab. LVII. fig. 10, ¢.) 


Male. Primaries brown, crossed from the costal to the inner margin by four waved white lines and from the 
costal margin near the apex to the outer margin by a curved white line (this line is much more distinct 
in some specimens than in others), the fringe dark brown; secondaries brownish-grey ; the underside 
reddish-brown: head, antenne, thorax, and abdomen brown. Expanse 1,35 inch. 


Hab. Mexico, Coatepec (coll. Schaus); GuaTEMALA, Totonicapam 8500 to 10,500 
feet (Champion) ; Panama, Chiriqui (Ribde, in mus. Staudinger). 

Allied to P. crotona, from which it may be distinguished by its larger size and 
darker brown colouring. The Mexican specimen in Mr. Schaus’s collection has the 
primaries more distinctly marked than in either of the other specimens before me, but 
on the underside it is almost identical with them, 


4. Psaliodes damia, sp. n. (Tab. LVII. fig. 11.) 


Primaries and secondaries dark brown ; the primaries irrorated at the apex and near the anal angle with pale 
brown scales, and crossed beyond the middle from the costal to the inner margin by a paler brown band, 
which is edged on the inner side with a very fine waved white line; the fringe of both wings alternately 
light and dark brown: head, antenne, thorax, abdomen, and legs brown. Expanse 1 inch.

Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (H. H. Smith); Guatemata, Totoni- 
capam 8500 to 10,500 feet (Champion) ; Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 
feet (Rogers). 7 

Varies in the width of the brown band crossing the primaries: in the Mexican 
specimens it is narrow and more broken. We figure a specimen from Totonicapam. 


6. Psaliodes deedala, sp.n. (Tab. LVII. figg. 13,9; 14, o, var.) 


Male. Primaries pale greenish-brown, darker along the outer margin, crossed close to the base from the costal

the costal margin to the anal angle, the fringe alternately light and dark brown; secondaries pale 
brownish-white, crossed about the middle by a very indistinct line, the fringe greenish-brown ; the 
underside pale greyish-brown, the primaries with the costal margin and the apex yellow, the secondaries

yellowish-brown, the antenne, abdomen, and legs brown.—Female. Very similar to the male. Expanse, 


1, 2 12 inch. 
Hab, Mario, Coatepec (coll. Schaus); Guatemala, Totonicapam 8900 to 10,500 
feet (Champion). 
The Mexican specimen is in very poor condition, but I believe it belongs to the 
same species as those from Guatemala. We figure a female from Totonicapam and a 
beautiful variety of the male from the same locality. 


7. Psaliodes damophila, sp.n. (Tab. LVII. fig. 15, ¢.) 


Male. Primaries brown, crossed beyond the middle from the costal to the inner margin by a waved white

Primaries and secondaries creamy-white; the primaries with the costal margin, a wide band at the end of the 
cell extending to the costal margin, the apex, and outer margin dark brown, the fringe greyish-brown ; 
the secondaries with the marginal line and the apex shaded ‘with pale brown, the fringe grey ; the under- 
side of the primaries with the costal margin and apex irrorated with reddish-brown scales, that of the 
secondaries white, very thickly striated with reddish-brown, leaving a wide white band across the middle

PHELLINODES. 
Phellinodes, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 523 (1857) ; Walker, Cat. xxv. p. 1465. 


This genus is peculiar to Tropical America. Some of its species have a very extended 
range. 


1. Phellinodes satellitiata. 


Phellinodes satellitiata, Guen. Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 523, Phalén. t. 21. fig. 8°; Walk. Cat. xxv. 
p. 1465 *. 


Hab. Guatemata, San Gerénimo, Zapote (Champion).—Brazit 1 ?. 
Guenée’s figure is probably taken from a female, though he states it to be a male}?. 


The male is without the white spots on the primaries; the Guatemalan females agree 
perfectly with the above-quoted figure. 


2. Phellinodes rubedinaria. (Tab. LVIII. fig. 9.) 
Hedyle rubedinaria, Walk. Cat. xxv. p. 14647.

pion).—Braziu1; Amazons, Pard?, Ega 3. 
This species is fairly common at Bugaba. We have a large series of specimens 
hardly showing any variation. 
| HEDYLE. 
Hedyle, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 521 (1857); Walker, Cat. xxv. p. 1463 (pars). 


The type of this genus, H. heliconaria, Guen., is very widely distributed in Tropical 
America, extending northwards to Mexico. H. rubedinaria, Walk., as already noted, 
is a Phellinodes.

Guiana, Cayenne1; Amazons, Ega ?. 

Varies in size and colour, and also in the extent of the white V-shaped marking on 
the primaries—in some examples this is quite large, in others very small, and in a 
specimen in Dr. Staudinger’s collection it is entirely wanting. 


Subfam. LRATEININA.

TROCHIODES. 


Trochiodes, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 580 (1857). 
Odezia, Herrich-Schiaffer, Samml. aussereur. Schmett. p. 81. 


Guenée founded this genus upon an insect supposed to have come from Brazil.

Our specimens are not nearly so red on the underside of the secondaries as Herrich- 
Schaffer’s figure ; they vary in colour, some examples being much paler than others. 


2. Trochiodes polyxena, sp. n. (Tab. LVIII. figg. 14, 15.)

This genus is represented in our region by five species, four of which are described 
as new. 


1. Emplocia primulina. 
Emplocia primulina, Butl. & Druce, Cist. Ent. i. p. 118°; Butl. Lep. Exot. p. 178, t. 61. fig. 3”.

Costa Rica, Cartago 1? (Van Patten, in mus. D.). 


This species is well figured by Mr. Butler?. We have a very large series of it from 
Guatemala. 


2. Emplocia potentia, sp.n. (Tab. LVIII. fig. 23.) 


Male. Primaries black, with an elongated yellow spot extending from the base to about the middle ; secondaries 
yellow, broadly bordered with black on the costal margin, apex, and outer margin; the fringe black; the 
underside resembling that of HZ. primulina, Butl. & Druce, but blacker: head, antenne, and thorax black ; 
abdomen black, banded with yellow; collar and tegule yellow. Expanse 1,); inch. 


Hab. Costa Rica, Rio Sucio (Rogers).

primaries without the yellow apical band. Only two specimens have been received. 


3. Emplocia cynaxa, sp.n. (Tab. LVIII. figg. 24, 25.) 

Primaries and secondaries bright yellow ; the primaries with the costal margin from the base to the middle 
narrowly edged with black, from the middle to the apex broadly bordered with black, the inner margin

184 HETEROCERA. 


4, Emplocia prumnides, sp.n. (Tab. LVIII. figg. 26, 27.) 

Male. Primaries black, from the base to beyond the middle orange-yellow, the fringe black ; secondaries 
orange-yellow, the apex, outer margin, and anal angle broadly bordered with black, and with several 
black spots along the costal and inner margins; the underside of the primaries as above, but with a line 
partly crossing from the costal margin to near the outer margin and a marginal row of short lines white, 
that of the secondaries with a marginal row of elongated black spots : head, antenne, thorax, and legs 
black, the collar and tegule orange ; abdomen black, banded with orange. Expanse 1,%, inch. 


Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion).

5. Emplocia tortricina, sp.n. (Tab. LVIII. figg. 28, 29, ¢; 30, 2.) 

Male. Primaries and secondaries orange-red ; the primaries bordered with black on the costal margin near the 
base, the apex and outer margin broadly bordered with black, the inner margin edged with black from 
the base to the anal angle, a narrow band near the apex and two or three streaks on the outer margin 
close to the anal angle reddish-orange; the secondaries with three spots about the middle, and a sub- 
marginal and a marginal row of elongated spots all black; the fringe alternately black and orange; the 
underside as above, but with the costa, apex, and outer margin of the primaries streaked with white : 
head, antenne, and thorax black; tegule black, edged with yellow; abdomen black, banded with 
yellowish-white; legs black and white.—Female. Similar to the male, but with the black margin of the 
primaries broken up into rows of spots. Expanse, ¢ 14, 9 14 inch. 


Hab. Costa Rica, Rio Sucio (Rogers). 


We have a large series of this species. The female somewhat resembles Aterica 
leopardina, Butl., from the same region. 


Fam. SICULIDA. 


This family is of small extent. It has recently been monographed by Dr. A. Pagen- 
stecher in the ‘ Iris,’ v. pp. 5-131 (1892); he divides the Siculide into three subfamilies 
and the genus Siculodes into ten groups; 170 species are enumerated for the entire 
family, no less than 113 of which belong to Siculodes. The Siculide are chiefly 
confined to the warmer portions of the globe, being about equally numerous in species 
in the Neotropical and Oriental regions. Of the six genera referred to it by Dr. Pagen- 
stecher, four are common to the Old and New World; one of these, Dysodia, Clemens 
(= Varnia, Walk.; =Pachythyris, Feld., Guen.), has been already dealt with by me 
under the Family Noctuide, anted, i. pp. 324-326. Dysodia would, no doubt, be 
better placed in the Siculidee. 


RHODONEURA. 


Rhodoneura, Guenée, Sp. Gén. des. Lép., Siculides, t. 1. fig. 8 (1857); Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1877 , 
p. 287; Walker, Cat. xxxii. p.523; Moore, Lep. Ceyl. ii. p. 267; Pagenstecher, Iris, v. p. 48. 
Osca, Walker, Journ. Linn. Soc., Zool. vii. p- 73 (1864). 
Dr. Pagenstecher includes nineteen species in this genus from various localities in 
the Oriental region. It is also represented within our limits. 


RHODONEURA. 185 


Mr. Hampson, ‘ Fauna of British India, Moths,’ vol. i. p. 355, includes this genus in 
his family Thyridide, placing that family after the Drepanulide. 


1. Rhodoneura pulchelloides, (Tab. LIX. fig. 1.) 
Siculodes pulchelloides, Pagenst. Iris, v. p. 64, t. 1. fig. 4°. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). — Cotompta, Bogota!; 
Amazons!; Peru!; S.E. Braziu, Santa Catharina |. 


The single specimen received from the Volcan de Chiriqui agrees with Dr. Pagen- 
stecher’s figure, except that it has the wings much more heavily marked, but I believe 
it belongs to the same species. 


2. Rhodoneura sterna. 
Siculodes sterna, Feld. & Rogenh. Reise der Nov., Lep. t. 134. fig. 13'; Guen. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 
1877, p. 291°; Pagenst. Iris, v. p. 63°. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 4000 to 6000 feet (Champion). —Cotomsia, 
Bogota ! 2 8, 


The specimens before me are very similar to Felder and Rogenhofer’s figure, but 
they are slightly paler in colour, and have the dark markings not quite so distinct. 


8. Rhodoneura paullula. (Tab. LIX. fig. 2.) 
Siculodes paullula, Pagenst. Iris, v. p. 65, t. 1. fig. 20 (neuration)*. 
Hab. Guatemata, Cahabon and Panima in Vera Paz (Champion); Panama, Chiriqui ! 
(Ribbe, in mus. Staudinger), Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion). 


We are indebted to Dr. Staudinger for the loan of the type of this and the other 
species of Siculide described by Dr. Pagenstecher from our country. The specimens 
received from Guatemala are brighter in colour than those from Chiriqui, and they 
have the markings pinker, the female being more heavily marked than the male. A 
specimen from Chiriqui is figured. | 


4. Rhodoneura violalis. (Tab. LIX. fig. 3.) 
Siculodes violalis, Pagenst. Iris, v. p. 69°. 


Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (I. Trujillo); Guatemaua, Las Mercedes 3000 feet (Champion).

Both our specimens are females, not in very good condition. They are almost 
identical with the type.

PHARAMBARA. 
Pharambara, Walker, Cat. xxxiv. p. 1274 (1865). 
Siculodes, Guenée, Sect. III., Pagenstecher, Iris, v. p. 128. 
This genus was founded by Walker upon a single species from Mysol. A large 
number of species are now known, mostly from the eastern islands; one occurs in 
Central America.

amethystea is a very poor one, but I have no doubt their insect belongs to the same 
species.

DRACONIA. 
Draconia, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 197 (1816). 


This genus is represented in our region by three species, two of which I place in it 
with considerable doubt. 

‘The type of Draconia, D. peripheta (Cram.), is a remarkable insect, hitherto known 
only from the “ West Indies.”

-Siculodes peripheta, Pagenst. Iris, v. p. 96°. 

Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Trétsch, in mus. Staudinger)—West Inpizs}. 

The specimen from Chiriqui in Dr. Staudinger’s collection has the pale markings on 
the wings more suffused than is shown in Cramer’s figure; but I have very little doubt 
that it belongs to the same species, the smaller spots on the wings being almost 
identical in form. It is the only example I have seen.

colour, some being much paler than others and with the lighter markings more 
distinct. We figure an example from Bugaba. 


3. Draconia (?) rusina, sp.n. (Tab. LIX. fig. 9.) 


Primaries and secondaries pale fewn-colour; the primaries with a large angular whitish hyaline marking, 
extending from the anal angle almost to the apex, and crossed by fine fawn-coloured lines, and with 
several small hyaline spots just below the middle of the cell and along the inner margin; the secondaries 
with the base and a band crossing about the middle whitish hyaline; the hyaline markings on both wings 
formed of small rounded or angular spots: head, antenne, thorax (except in front), and abdomen dark 
fawn-colour; the collar, the front of the thorax, and the tegule greyish-white. Expanse 2} inches. 


Hab. Guatemata, La Tinta in Vera Paz (Champion).

ANISOTHRIX. 

Anisothrix, Ragonot, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1890, p. 478 (44). 

Mons. Ragonot includes a single species in this genus: it is from Chanchamayo *,

genera under the name Azamoride, including all the species that have a membranous 
pouch at the base of the primaries in the male. Mons. Ragonot (Ann. Soc, Ent. Fr. 


AZAMORA.—TOSALE. 191

AMBLYURA. 
Amblyura, Lederer, Wien. ent. Monats. vii. p. 357 (1863) ; Walker, Cat. xxxiv. p. 1290. 


Lederer founded this genus upon a single species from Brazil; we nuw add two 
others from our region. 


1. Amblyura proclea, sp. n. (Tab. LIX. fig. 15, 3.) 

Male. Primaries dark brown, the base and two rather wide bands partly crossing the wing from the inner 
margin pale reddish-brown, a very distinct white dot about the middle of the costal margin, beyond which 
nearer the apex is a very minute white streak, a marginal row of very minute white spots extending from 
the apex to the anal angle, the fringe dark brown; secondaries uniformly greyish-brown : head, antenna, 
tborax, abdomen, and legs pale brown.—Vemale. Very similar to the male, but without the pouch at the 
base of the primaries. Expanse ;% inch. 


Hab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith); Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 


We figure a male from Bugaba. 


2. Amblyura cecropia, sp.n. (Tab. LIX. fig. 16,2.) 

Male. Primaries dark glossy brown, crossed beyond the middle from the costal to the inner margin by 
a narrow pale yellowish-brown line, a marginal row of minute white dots extending from the apex to the 
anal angle, the fringe dark brown; secondaries slightly paler than the primaries ; the underside as above. 
—Female. Similar to the male, but without the fold at the base of the primaries. Expanse 4 inch.

Fabatana, Walker, Cat. xxxiv. p. 1265 (1865). 
Siparocera, Grote, Check-list of North-Am. Moths, p. 52 (1882). 

This is a small genus, of which, at most, two or three species are known; they closely 
resemble Tortricide, in which family Walker placed his genus Tosale. Several of the 


192 HETEROCERA. 


following genera appear to be very closely allied to this one, if, indeed, they are 
distinct; but at present our material is insufficient to decide this point, as. specimens 
cannot be spared for dissection.

Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 feet (Champion); Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 
to 7000 feet (Rogers). 


A common species in Mexico and Guatemala. The male specimen in Mr. Schaus'’s 
collection is in poor collection; it differs from the other specimens before me in 
having the primaries browner, with the bands very indistinct, and on the secondaries 


the black patch is more suffused. I should not care to name it without seeing more 
specimens. We figure a male from Teapa, and a female from Sinanja.

SALOBRENA. 
Salobrena, Walker, Cat. xxviii. p. 446 (1863); Ragonot, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1891, p. 615 (229). 


Walker founded this genus upon a single species from the Amazons, the female only 
of which was known to him; a second species, also from the Amazons, has been added 
by Felder and Rogenhofer; and a third is now described from Eastern Mexico. 


1. Salobrena cyrisialis, sp.n. (Tab. LIX. fig. 20, 2.) 


Male. Primaries pale brown, crossed about the middle from the costal to the inner margin by a wide 
darker brown band, which is edged on the inner side with a reddish-brown line, the fringe dark brown ; 
secondaries dull greyish-brown: head, palpi, thorax, abdomen, and legs pale brown.— Female, Very similar 
to the male. Expanse 6, inch.

This genus was founded by Zeller upon a single species from Texas. Mons. Ragonot 
includes Tamyra pusilla and T. gibbosa, Feld. & Rogenh., the former from the Amazons 
and the latter from Colombia, in (Ectoperia, and I now add two others from Central

1. Gctoperia propylea, sp.n. (Tab. LIX. figg. 21, 21a,3; 22, 2.) 

Male. Primaries pale brown, crossed from the costal to the inner margin by three darker brown lines—the 
first, near the base, edged with paler brown on the inner side, the second, about the middle, edged with 
pale brown on the outer side, and the third submarginal and somewhat indistinct, —the fringe alternately 
light and dark brown; secondaries uniformly dark greyish-brown : head, antenne, palpi, thorax, abdomen, 
and legs pale brown.— Female, Very similar to the male, but with the bands on the primaries indistinct.

which extends partly over the wing, and a marginal row of minute white dots on the outer margin, the 
fringe dark brown; secondaries dark brown: head, palpi, antenne, thorax, abdomen, and legs dark brown. 
Expanse ? inch. 

Hab. Mexico, Paso de San Juan in Vera Cruz (coll. Schaus); GuatemaLa, Purula,

Clydonopteron, Riley, Amer. Ent. iii. p. 287 (1880) ; Ragonot, Ann. Soe. Ent. Fr, 1890, p. 501 (67). 


This genus is closely allied to @etoperia, Zeller; one species, C. tecome, Riley, from 
the South-western States of North America, is included in it by its describer, and a 
second, Salobrena genualis, Feld. & Rogenh., from the Amazons, is added by Mons. 
Ragonot. A third from Central America is here described. 


1. Clydonopteron pomponius, sp.n. (Tab. LIX. fig. 24, 2.) 

Female. Primaries pale brown, crossed about the middle from the costal to the inner margin by a rather 
wide yellowish-fawn-coloured band, beyond which is a dark brown line edged with white on the costal 
margin; secondaries pale brown; the fringe of both wings pale brown: head, palpi, thorax, abdomen,

Catadupa, Walker, Cat. xxviii. p. 444 (1863). 


Walker founded this genus upon a single species from the Amazons, placing it in the 
family Tortricide. Catadupa is not mentioned by Mons. Ragonot in his papers on the 
classification of the Pyralide. 


1. Catadupa splendens, sp. ». (Tab. LIX. fig. 25, ¢ .)

Z.ANCLODES. 
Zanclodes, Ragonot, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1890, p. 474 (40). 


This very remarkable genus was founded by Mons. Ragonot upon a single species from 
Brazil; it is allied to /dnea, Herr.-Schaffer. The insect extends northwards to 
Eastern Mexico.

PSECTRODES. 
_Psectrodes, Ragonot, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1890, p. 488 (54). 


Mons. Ragonot refers three species to this genus, all of which are from ‘Tropical 
South America; one of them also inhabits our region. 


PSECTRODES.—SIGA. 197 


1. Psectrodes herminialis.

Our specimens agree well with Ragonot’s figures. 


TETRAPHANA. 


Tetraphana, Ragonot, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1890, p. 471 (87). 


The type of this genus is Ametris quadrifenestrata, Herr.-Schaff., from Tropical 
South America; two other species have since been described by Dr. Pagenstecher, and 


we now add a very fine one from our region. 


1. Tetraphana alipes.

One specimen, agreeing well with Dr. Pagenstecher’s figure. 


2. Tetraphana daphne, sp. n. (Tab. LX. figg. 5, 6, 2.) 


Female. Primaries and secondaries bright orange-red; the primaries shaded from the base to beyond the 
middle and along the costal margin with purplish-brown, and with a large hyaline round spot edged with 
black at the end of the cell, on the outer side of which is a short red streak and three narrow black lines 
crossing the wing from the costal to the inner margin—the first two concave, nearest the base, the third 
straight, considerably beyond the middle, this line continued across the middle of the secondaries to the 
anal angle; the fringe reddish-brown; the inner margin of the secondaries clothed with pure white hairs ; 
the underside of both wings silky white, slightly shaded with yellow on the costal and outer margins, each 
wing with a submarginal row of indistinct fawn-coloured spots extending from the apex to the inner 
margin, the costal margin of the primaries and the fringe of both wings fawn-coloured: head, palpi, 
antenne, thorax, and upperside of the abdomen bright orange-red, the base of the palpi and the thorax 
and abdomen white beneath ; the legs white, the anterior pair with the femora and tibie red. Expanse 


23 inches. 


Hab. Mexico, Coatepec (coll. Sehaus); ANAM, Volcan. de Chiriqui (Ribbe, in mus. 
Staudinger). 
We figure Mr. Schaus’s specimen from Coatepec; the one in Dr. Staudinger’s collec- 


tion is considerably paler in colour. 


SIGA. 


Siga, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 197 (1816) ; Walker, Cat. xi. p. 670. 


| This genus was founded upon Phalena liris, Cram., from the West Indies; we now 


add a second species from our region. Siga was placed amongst the Noctuide by 


Walker. 


198 HETEROCERA. 


1. Siga pyronia, sp.n. (Tab. LX. fig. 7, 2.) 

Female. Primaries pale grey, crossed beyond the middle from the costal to near the inner margin by a wide 
hyaline band, which becomes quite narrow as it reaches the inner margin, and with a square-shaped 
hyaline spot at the end of the cell, beyond which on the outer side is an oval yellow spot, the costal 
margin and fringe whitish ; secondaries pale grey, crossed about the middle from the costal to near the 
inner margin by a waved, rather wide, hyaline band, which is edged on the outer side with a zigzag 
yellow band, the fringe grey, on the inner margin white; the underside of both wings silky white, 
showing the hyaline bands : head, thorax, and abdomen greenish-grey above, white beneath, the antennze 
yellowish-brown. Expanse 23 inches. 


Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Trétsch, in mus. Staudinger). 

A very distinct species. 

MACALLA. 
Macalla, Walker, Cat. xvi. p. 155 (1858). 
Aradrapha, Walker, Cat. XXXlv. p. 1257 (1865). 

This genus has been twice described by Walker, and from the same species—first 
under the Deltoide and later under the Pyralide ; the types are from Honduras. A 
second species is now added from the State of Panama. Walker's names are not 
mentioned by Mons. Ragonot.

2. Macalla dapha, sp.n. (Tab. LX. figg. 3, 3 a.) 
Primaries fawn-colour, with an indistinct waved submarginal line extending from the costal to the inner 
margin, and a small black dot at the end of the cell; secondaries considerably paler than the primaries, 


semihyaline; the underside somewhat redder than above: head, antennie, palpi, thorax, abdomen, and 
legs fawn-colour. Expanse 14 inch. 


Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 


Two specimens, both of which appear to be males.

DEUTEROLLYTA. 
Deuterollyta, Lederer, Wien. ent. Monats. vii. p. 358 (1863). 


This genus was founded upon a Brazilian species, D. conspicualis, Leder. ; it appears 
to be very closely allied to Hemimatia.

The three specimens from Guatemala in Dr. Staudinger’s collection are all in very 
poor condition, but I believe they are referable to Walker's species, examples of which 
from Rio Janeiro are contained in my own collection. 


HEMIMATIA.

Toripalpus, Grote, Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist. xix. p. 265 (1878). 


Lederer included three species in Hemimatia—one from North America and two 


from Venezuela; the type of Toripalpus is T. breviornatalis, Grote, from Texas and 
Colorado. One of Lederer’s species inhabits Northern Mexico.

my own collection; the latter are slightly darker in colour. 


OPHIAS. 
Ophias, Ragonot, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1890, p. 517: (88). 


This genus was founded by Mons. Ragonot upon a single species from Brazil, the 
female only of which was known to him; the insect also occurs in the State of 
Panama. 


1. Ophias albiundalis. 
Ophias albiundalis, Ragon. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1890, p. 518 (84), t. 5. figg. 5, 5 a’.

One specimen from Chiriqui, very similar to Mons. Ragonot’s figure, but with the 
lines crossing the primaries less distinct.

Ent. Fr. 1891, p. 85 (183). 

The species placed in this genus by Guenée are all from the Old World. Modschler 
describes one from Surinam, and I now add two others. 


1. Stemmatophora nattereri. 
Cliniodes (?) nattereri, Feld. & Rogenh. Reise der Novara, Lep. t. 136. fig. 29°, 
Hab. Mexico, Paso de San Juan in Vera Cruz (Schaus)—Amazons!; Braziu}. 


A single specimen from Mexico, is rather smaller than Felder and Rogenhofer’s 
figure. 


2. Stemmatophora demonica, sp. n. (Tab. LX. fig. 9,3.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries dark glossy brown; the primaries with a tuft of pale scales on the costal 
margin, and crossed from the costal to the inner margin by two faint brown lines—the first nearest the 
base, the second beyond the middle; the fringe dark glossy brown; the underside as above, but with the 
lines crossing the primaries less distinct: head, thorax, abdomen, antennae, and legs dark brown.— 
Female. Very similar to the male, but not so glossy. Expanse, ¢ 9, 13 inch,

A very dull-coloured species, varying considerably in size, and in the distinctness of 
the lines crossing the primaries—in some specimens they are almost obliterated, and in 
others very distinct. We figure a male from the Rio Papagaio. ‘The specimens 
collected by Mr. Whitely in British Guiana do not differ from those from our region. 


3. Stemmatophora (?) albopunctalis, sp. n. (Tab. LX. fig. 10, 2.) 


Female. Primaries and secondaries dark glossy brown, with the fringe of the same colour; the primaries 
crossed about the middle by a row of three white spots—the first on the costal margin, the second at the 
end of the cell, and the third on the inner margin,—and with a small round white dot in the middle of 
the cell; the underside paler than above, and without the white spots on the primaries: head, antenne, 
thorax, abdomen, and legs dark brown. Expanse 1 inch.

This insect varies considerably in size and colour, and in the distinctness of the 
markings. A. graafialis, Snell., is, I believe, nothing more than a highly-coloured 
form of the same species, several of our specimens closely resembling it. 


HYPERPARACHMA.

MEGASTES. 
Megastes, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. vii. p. 375 (1854) ; Walker, Cat. xviii. p. 762; Lederer, 
Wien. ent. Monats. vii. p. 411. 
Guenée described this genus upon a single species from Brazil, which ranges 
northwards to Costa Rica. A very tine new form is now added from our region.

2. Megastes praxiteles, sp.n. (Tab. LXI. figg. 3,4; 4,2.) 

Male. Primaries and secondaries hyaline-white ; the primaries with the base dark greyish-brown, a small 
spot in the cell and one just below it pale yellowish, edged with dark brown, the middle part of the 
costal margin chalk-white, a large almost square mark at the end of the cell, from which two dark 
greyish-brown lines cross the wing to the inner margin, a double submarginal dark brown waved line

extending from near the apex to the anal angle, the marginal line dark brown, the fringe pure white ; 
the secondaries crossed about the middle by a dark greyish-brown line, which is widest on the inner 
margin, above which a fine dark brown line extends partly across the wing to the base, two fine sub- 
marginal waved brown lines extending from near the apex to the anal angle, the marginal line dark 
brown, the fringe white; the underside of both wings white, with all the markings very faint : head, 
collar, front of thorax, and legs white; the antenne dark brown; the abdomen with the base and part 
of the upperside dark greyish-brown, the three anal segments and the underside white.—Female. Very 
similar to the male, but considerably larger and with the abdomen more marked with white. Expanse 
5 2, 2 24 inches. . 

Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (M. Trujillo), Coatepec (Schaus), Cuernavaca in Morelos, La 


Venta in Guerrero (H. H. Smith); Guatamata, Las Mercedes (Champion). 

‘This species is apparently rare, though widely distributed in Mexico. Mr. Schaus 
captured only one specimen, which is very much paler than any of the others before 
me. WM. praswiteles is allied to M. grandalis, Guen., but very different in the colour 
and markings. We figure a male from Cuernavaca, and a female from La Venta.

different position, that on the secondaries extending straight across the wing but not 
reaching the outer margin. | 


4. Atheropoda pontealis, sp.n. (Tab. LXI. fig. 6.) 


Primaries and secondaries pale yellow; the primaries crossed from the costal to the inner margin by two 
narrow brown lines—the first straight, near the base, the second curved, beyond the middle,—the wing 
on the outer side of the second line shaded with pink, a small spot in the cell and one at the end of it, 
the veins near the outer margin, and the fringe brown; the secondaries crossed about the middle by 
a dark brown line, the base semihyaline ; the underside very much as above: head, thorax, abdomen, and 
legs dark yellow, the antenne brown.—Female. Very similar to the male. Expanse 2 inches.

Of this species I have seen four specimens only from our region, but from Ecuador 
I have a very large series, varying slightly in colour. A. pontealis bears a great 
resemblance to Sparagmia gigantalis, Guen., from which it may be at once distinguished 
by the very different shape of the primaries. A specimen from Panajachel is figured.

allied to P. runicalis, Guen., from Brazil, the type of the genus. We figure an 
example from Guatemala city.

Varies in size and colour—from pale yellow to chrome-yellow; most of the 
Guatemalan specimens are darker than those from Mexico. 

In Guenée’s figure the markings on the primaries are more distinct than in any of 
the examples before me. Walker? gives “? North America” as a locality. 


3. Pachynoa cresus, sp.n. (Tab. LXI. fig. 8.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries chrome-yellow, shaded with blackish-grey scales at the base and across the 
middle, crossed from the costal to the inner margin by two curved dark grey lines—the first near the 
base, the second beyond the middle; the primaries with the cell, a rather faint submarginal zigzag line 
extending from the costal margin near the apex to the inner margin slightly above the anal angle, a small 
round spot at the base of the cell, and an elongate spot at the end of it, hyaline-white ; the secondaries 
with a hyaline-white spot at the end of the cell ; the fringe greyish-yellow ; the underside pale yellowish-

extending from the costal margin near the apex to the inner margin near the anal angle, and a round 
white spot in the cell and an elongate spot at the end of it, both edged with black, the fringe fawn-colour ;. 
secondaries pearly-white, the marginal line fawn-colour, the fringe white: head in front, the antennae, 
and palpi brownish-fawn-colour ; the collar, thorax, and abdomen greyish-black, the underside of the latter 
and the legs white——Female. Primaries very similar to those of the male, but rather paler; the 
secondaries shaded with yellow, with a black spot at the end of the cell and a waved submarginal black

Central America; some others from the Essequibo River, sent by Whitely, are very 
small. 


ERILUSA. 
Erilusa, Walker, Cat. xxxiv. p. 1875 (1865). 


The species of this genus bear a great resemblance to the Dioptine. Five are 
known to me from Central America.

5. Erilusa purpuralis, sp.n. (Tab. LXI. fig. 21, 9.) 
Female. Primaries and secondaries uniformly dark glossy purplish-brown, the inner margin of the secondaries 
and the fringe greyish-black ; the underside paler than above: head and collar orange, the antenne 
brown, the thorax, abdomen, and legs greyish-black. Expanse 1? inch. 


Hab. Costa Rica, Candelaria Mts. (Underwood). 


One specimen. This species resembles Hoterodes gilippusalis, Walk., from the 
Amazons, from which it may be at once distinguished by the yellow head and collar. 


ACRIDURA. 


Acridura, Butler, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (4) xv. p. 898 (1875) ; Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1878, 
p. 122. 
Phryctena, Oberthiir, Etudes d’Ent. vi. p. 114 (1881). 

This genus was founded by Mr. Butler upon two species from Espiritu Santo, both 
of which range northwards to the Mexican State of Vera Cruz. He first referred it to 
the family Arctiide (Zygeenoid type), but subsequently to the A’geriide. M. Oberthir 
referred his genus Phryctena to the Pyralide, to which family I have very little 
doubt it really belongs. -Acridura appears to me to be nearly allied to Erilusa, Walk. 
Three additional species are here referred to the genus, one with some doubt.

our region are, I believe, males. The one from Coban is figured. 


3. Acridura prochyta, sp.n. (Tab. LXI. fig. 23, 2.) 

Female. Primaries black, with a small hyaline dot near the base, the base with some metallic-green scales, the 
fringe blackish-brown ; secondaries hyaline, the veins and the outer margin black: head, thorax, and 
abdomen metallic-green, the collar and a spot on each side of the base of the thorax orange-yellow, the 
antenne black ; the legs greenish-black, the hind tarsi partly white. Expanse 1,3; inch.

5. Acridura (?) hadriana, sp.n. (Tab. LXI. fig. 25.) 


Male. Primaries and secondaries very dark brown; the primaries with the fringe brown, white at the anal 
angle ; the secondaries with a narrow hyaline streak on the costal margin which extends from the base 
almost to the anal angle, a small hyaline-white spot at the end of the cell, the fringe partly white: head 
and antenne black; the thorax black above, white beneath ; the abdomen black, with the anus yellow, 
the underside banded with white; the legs black, the hind tarsi banded with white.—Female. Very

Chiriqui (R7bbe). 

This species is allied to WM. quadristigmalis, Guen., from which it may be distinguished 
by its slightly shorter and broader wings, and by the absence of the small black dots on 
the costal margin of the primaries. ‘The sexes are very similar. |

Guenée’s figure of P. scripturalis is a very bad one, but I have no “doubt that our 
insect belongs to the same species. We have received very few specimens from within 
our limits, but from Ecuador I have a large series, which show considerable variation 
in size and colour, and in the distinctness of the markings. The smaller examples by 
themselves might perhaps. be considered distinct.

This species, of which we have received a large series, varies in size and colour; 
some examples are pale hyaline-yellow, others are bright yellow with the darker 
markings very distinct. The specimens from Mexico and Guatemala are generally 
paler than those from South America, but they are in no way constant. Walker ?

crossing the wing from the costal margin, two broad brown bands crossing from the costal to the inner 
margin—the first near the base, the second beyond the middle,—a large dark brown spot close to the 
apex, and a submarginal fawn-coloured line extending from it to the anal angle, the fringe alternately 
dark brown and white; the secondaries with a fawn-coloured spot, with a fine black line on each side of 
it, at the end of the cell, below which a narrow black line partly crosses the wing, a black spot at the 
apex, from which a fawn-coloured line extends to the anal angle, the marginal line black, the fringe 
white: head, thorax, and abdomen yellowish-white, the latter with the third, fourth, and fifth segments

SUPPLEMENT. 


Tur first enumeration of the Families Sphingide to Pyralide being completed, it is 
now proposed to give a Supplement, containing an account of the large amount of 
additional material that has come to hand during the publication of the subject, which 
commenced in April 1881. The names of the various species from our region 
subsequently described by Mr. Schaus, Mr. H. Edwards, and others are also included, 
as well as corrections in synonymy where required. All the more important fresh 
localities are given. 
JELLOPUS (I. p. 1). 
Allopus tantalus (I. p. 1). 

To the localities given, add:—MExIco, Ciudad in Durango 8100 feet (/orrer), near 
Durango city (Becker), Jalisco (Schumann), Rio Papagaio in Guerrero, Atoyac in Vera 
Cruz (H. H. Smith), Jalapa (Schaus), Omealca (M. Trujillo); GuatEeMaLa, Volcan de 
Santa Maria (Richardson); Nicaracua, Matagalpa (Richardson); Costa Rica (Van 
Patten), Candelaria Mts. (Underwood) ; Panama, near the city (J. J. Walker). 

Mr. Schaus (‘ Entomological News,’ 1896, p. 141) states that . tian, Cram., can 
always be differentiated from 4. tantalus, Linn., by the grey scales at the anal angle 
of the secondaries above; but in this I cannot follow him, as in some specimens the 
grey scales are hardly to be seen, while in others they are very distinct on the 
underside. 


EUPYRRHOGLOSSUM (I. p. 2). 


Eupyrrhoglossum sagra (I. p. 2). 
To the localities given, add :—Mexico, Jalapa (Schaus).

4. Perigonia tacita. (Tab. LXV. fig. 3.) 
Perigonia tacita, Druce, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) ii. p. 236 (1888) - 


‘Primaries bright reddish-brown, with a large A-shaped darker brown mark extending from the middle of the 
inner margin nearly to the costal margin, edged on both sides with greyish-brown lines; two small black 
dots at the end of the cell; several indistinct undulating dark brown lines crossing the wing from the 
costal margin to near the anal angle; several silvery-brown lunular-shaped marks close to the apex ; 
secondaries dark brown, broadly banded with chrome-yellow from the base to near the apex, and with 
several very indistinct greyish lines crossing from the anal angle towards the apex ; the underside of both 
wings yellowish-brown, reddish-brown along the outer margin: head, thorax, abdomen, and legs dark

—Braziu}. 

The type of P. coffee, Walk., in the National Museum was purchased at Stevens’s 
sale-rooms, without any locality attached. It is very doubtful if it came from Brazil, 
as all the specimens I have seen are from ourregion. The insect figured and described 
by Boisduval under the name P. coffee, Walk., belongs to another species, P. boisduvali, 


Butl., of which I have lately received a specimen from Brazil.

At the time I identified this species, I had no North-American specimens for

3 (a). Ambulyx donysa. (Tab. LXVI. fig. 7.) 

Ambulyx donysa, Druce, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) iv. p. 78 (1889) °. 

Male. Primaries from the base to the middle pinkish-fawn-colour and from the middle to the outer margin 
shaded with dark brown and olive-green ; a large oval-shaped dark brown spot near the base, which 
extends from the inner margin across the wing, but does not reach the costal margin; a dark brown line 
crosses the wing about the middle from the costal to the inner margin ; an indistinct dark brown marking 
on the inner margin close to the anal angle ; three waved lines cross the wing from the costal margin near 
the apex to near the inner margin, but do not quite reach it; the apex is pale fawn-colour; secondaries 
bright rose-pink, crossed from near the apex to the anal angle by a wide black band, deeply dentated on 


310. SUPPLEMENT. 


the outer edge; above the black band are two very indistinct, narrow, brownish-black lines; the inner 
margin and two spots close to the anal angle pale yellowish-fawn-colour; the underside of both primaries 
and secondaries pale yellowish-fawn-colour, the primaries from the base to about the middle dark rose- 
pink: head and front of the thorax pale brown, the tegule and base of the thorax and abdomen dark 
brown; the underside of the head, thorax, and abdomen pale yellow; legs and antenne dark brown.— 
Female. Very similar to the male, but larger, and with most of the lines crossing the primaries very 
indistinct. Expanse, ¢ 43, 2 5 inches. 

Hab. Mexico, Cuesta de Misantla!, Jalapa (M. Trujillo), Orizaba (Boucard, in 
mus. D.); GUATEMALA, in the city (Rodriguez); Panama, Chiriqui (Trétsch, in mus. 
Staudinger). 

This very distinct species is allied to A. gannascus (Stoll) and A. rostralis, Boisd. 

The specimen from Orizaba is very much darker than any of the others before me, 
and on the underside it is reddish-brown instead of yellow. It may belong to another 


species.

Brazit, Minas Geraes !. 


The name A. godartii, Boisd., must be sunk as a synonym of A. duponchel2, described 
and figured by Poey. 

The twenty-five specimens before me from our region agree well with others 
(including both sexes) from Cuba in my own collection, and also with Poey’s figure. 

Mr. Rothschild’s statement (op. cit. p. 91) that I figured a specimen of the true 


A, godartii under the name of A. rivularis is not correct: in error I figured 
A. beelzebuth.

Mr. Schaus has already noted (Ent. News, 1895, p. 142) the identity of A. tapayusa, 
Moore, with A. medor (Cram.). I cannot agree with Mr. Rothschild in regarding 
A. medor as synonymous with A. hydaspus (Cram.), in which species each segment of 
the abdomen is spotted, a character well shown in the figure. 

I have before me some thirty specimens of A. medor from Central and South 
America, not one of which shows the faintest trace of spots.

Mr. Schaus (Ent. News, 1895, p. 144) considers Sphina fasciata, Swains. (Zool. 
Illustr, iii. t. 150. fig. 2), to be conspecific with this insect, but in this I do not agree 
with him. Swainson’s species is always smaller and paler than A. alope.

Primaries pale grey, thickly irrorated with dark brown scales, and very indistinctly banded with a waved 
brown line, which crosses the wing from the costal to the inner margin; a zigzag black line crosses from 
the costal margin beyond the middle nearest the apex to the middle of the inner margin, where it joins a 
plack streak from the base, and a marginal row of black spots extends from the apex to the anal angle ; 
secondaries reddish, broadly bordered with brownish-black from the apex almost to the anal angle, where 
they are greyish ; the underside of both wings reddish-brown, paler near the base: head, thorax, and 
abdomen brownish-grey ; the abdomen with two central narrow brown lines extending from the base to 
the anus; the underside of the thorax and abdomen paler than above; antenne and legs greyish-brown. 


Expanse 33 inches. 
Hab. Mexico, Orizaba (Flohr ; Boucard, in inus. D.), Jalapa (M. Trujillo), Yucatan

The type is in Dr. Staudinger’s collection. This species resembles Dilophonota ello 
in colour, but may be at once distinguished from it by its different form and the entire 
absence of the black band on the abdomen.

P. jamaicensis, Butl.= Sphinx nicotiane, Boisd. [Sp. gén. des Lép.i. p. 75 (1874)], 
the type of which was from Colombia; Boisduval’s name will therefore have to be

To the Mexican localities given, add :—Atoyac in Vera Cruz (H. H. Smith, Schumann), 
State of Vera Cruz (Schaus ). 


The additional specimens received show that the Mexican insect is distinct from the 
North-American A. octomaculata (Fabr.). The females of the two species are very 
similar; but, as pointed out by Edwards’, the males are very different. It is 
probable that <A. disparata will have to be separated eventually from the genus 
Alypia.

This genus is allied to Diamuna*, but differs from it in having the wings con- 
siderably shorter and the apex more pointed. 


* The genera Diamuna and Clitis, Walk. (antea, i. pp. 333-335), were incorrectly included by me in the 
family Noctuide: they really belong to the Agaristide, and should follow the genus Hecatesia in Vol. I.

The example from Orizaba, from which our figure is taken, is, I believe, a female of 
P. clavipennis, the secondaries of which are not nearly so much elongated as shown in 
Butler’s figure. Mr. Schaus’s specimen differs from the type in being shot with blue 
instead of green.

A very distinct species, not closely allied to any other known to me. It differs from 
all the allied forms in its very much narrower primaries. 


PSEUDOCHARIDEA (to follow the genus Charidea, I. p. 72). 
Pseudocharidea, Druce, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) xviii. p. 85 (July 1896). 


Allied to Charidea, from which it differs in the primaries being broader, the costal 
margin considerably arched about the middle, and the apex more rounded, and by 
having two brands on the underside close to the costal margin nearest the apex. The 
secondaries are very similar to those of Charidea, but are more rounded at the apex. 
‘The antenne are rather long and slightly pectinated. In all other respects it is very 


similar to Charidea.

Bertholdia, Schaus, Journ. New York Ent. Soc. iv. p. 187 (Sept. 1896). 
Pelochyta, anted, i. p. 99 (nec Hiibner). 

Mr. Schaus takes Trichromia specularis, Herr.-Schaff., as the type of this genus, and 
also includes in it Halesidota trigona, Grote, and a new species described by him under 
the name B. albipuncta.

As stated by Mr. Schaus, this species may be easily distinguished from B. specularis 
(Herr.-Schaff.) and B. trigona (Grote) by the white spot on the collar and the marginal 
white line. We figure a pair from Chiriqui from Dr. Staudinger’s collection. 


3. Bertholdia philotera, sp.n. (Tab. LXXV. figg. 19, ¢; 21, 2.) 


Male. Primaries dark brown, with the hyaline patch very much smaller and more dentated round the edges 
than in B. specularis, a pale brown submarginal line extending from the apex nearly to the anal angle, 
and a small yellow spot on the inner margin about the middle, the fringe alternately yellow and brown ; 
secondaries smoky-hyaline, the inner margin clothed with bright-red hairs, the fringe black: head, 
antenne, tegule, and thorax dark brown; the palpi bright red above, white beneath; abdomen above 
bright red, with a central line and the anal segments black ; the underside of the thorax and abdomen 
white, that of the thorax red in front; the legs brown and white.—/male. Very similar to the male, but 
larger, the primaries paler, and the secondaries more opaque. Expanse, ¢ 1,%, 2 13 inch.

Male. Primaries similar to those of A. sannionis, Butl., but more brick-red in colour, the streaks and bands 
crossing the wing greyer and rather wider, the second band not joined to the first, and broken into two 
towards the inner margin ; the ground-colour pure white, instead of pale yellow, as in A. sennionts ; and 
the streak in the cell and the spot below it are larger; underside paler, similar to the upperside, but 
with the base and two spots on the costal margin black, the first spot small, the second large and 
extending partly across the wing; secondaries black, on the underside a streak in the cell and a spot 
beyond it reddish-orange, the fringe black: head, collar, and tegule pure white, the tegule edged with

Hab. GuatEMALa (mus. Rodriquez '). 


This fine insect may be at once distinguished from either of the described species of 
the genus by the black hind wings, and also by many minor differences pointed out in 
the description. It is more closely allied to A. sannionis, Butl., from Ecuador and 
Peru, than to the Mexican A. decorata, Walk. Our figure is taken from a rough 
coloured drawing sent by Sefor Juan Rodriguez.

Cydosia nobilitella, Walk. Cat. ii. p. 524 (nec Westw.) (part.)*. 


Male. Very similar to the male of C. imitella, Stretch, but without the white marginal line to the primaries, 
and with an additional orange band crossing the wing about the middle from the costal to near the 
inner margin; secondaries glossy blue-black, with the fringe white; the underside of the primaries 
streaked with white at the apex and along the outer margin, that of the secondaries as above: head, 
antenne, thorax, and abdomen glossy blue-black ; legs black, banded with white.—Female. Like the male, 
but with the anal segment edged with orange-yellow. Expanse, ¢ 2, 14 inch. 


Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (VM. Trujillo), Orizaba (Flohr), Valladolid in Yucatan (Gaumer) ; 
GuaTEMALA, Torola, Zapote, San Gerénimo (Champion); Honpuras (Dyson) ;

(J. J. Walker). 

This species is closely allied to the insect described under the name of C. mnitella by 
Stretch, who has wrongly identified C. nobilitella (Cram.), the latter having white hind 
wings. The insect figured by Westwood under the name C. nobilitella is also quite 
distinct from that of Cramer, and I here propose the name of C. westwoodi for it. 
Walker included two species under Cramer's name, neither of which belongs to it. 
I have specimens of all the species in my own collection.
