on the upper part of the forehead is noteworthy, and when a proper dissection is made 
other differences may be revealed. 
This species greatly resembles a day-flying moth frequenting the same forest region 
of the low country (Champion). 
CHAMALIMNAS. 
Chamelimnas, Felder, Reise d. Nov. Lep. p. 304. 
This genus contains six species, distributed between the State of Panama and 
Southern Brazil. Of these one only just enters our borders, a single specimen of the 
Colombian C. villagomes having been taken by Herr Ribbe near Panama. 
The subcostal nervure of the primaries of C. briola emits one branch before the end 
of the cell and two after it; the middle discocellular and the upper radial meet the 
subcostal at the same point, the former making an acute angle with the subcostal ; 
the lower discocellular is atrophied towards the upper end and meets the median just 
beyond the second branch. The secondaries have a basal nervure; the upper disco- 
cellular is short and meets the subcostal at an obtuse angle beyond the first branch; 
the lower discocellular is atrophied and meets the median some way beyond the second 
branch. 
The front legs of the male have the trochanter inserted beyond the middle of the 
coxa, the femur is very short <3 coxa, tibia >2 femur, tarsus =} tibia (single 
jointed). Palpi have a short terminal joint slender, = 4 middle joint, which is swollen 
towards the middle, the basal joint is long, dilated, and > $ middle joint. Antenne 
with about thirty-three joints, the terminal thirteen forming a slender club. 
The harpagones are very feeble lobes, slightly setose at the ends; between thei is 
a piece arching over the penis and produced forward to a blunt point, setose at 
the end, and bearing a lateral lobe on either side also setose at the end. The strap 
from the base of the penis is produced forward to beyond the harpagones, where it 
turns slightly upwards; it then is bent abruptly backward to their base; the penis 
tapers gradually to the end and is bent almost to a semicircle. The bursa copulatrix 
of the female has two very small smooth chitinous papille.

This species has several close allies in C. briola and C. phenias and others; but 
a characteristic feature distinguishes it, viz. the orange spot in front of the head.
