78 HETEROCERA. 
7. Pionia elegans, sp. n. (Tab. IX. fig. 6.) 
Primaries light yellowish brown, darker on the inner margin, the apical spot glossy black ; secondaries dusky 
hyaline, tinted with yellow near the base: head and thorax brownish yellow, with a narrow central black 
line; abdomen black, with a narrow yellow line on each side; antenne, palpi, and legs black. Expanse 
1 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, Bugaba (Champion). 
A very distinct little species allied to P. calopteridia, from which it can easily be 
distinguished by the absence of the black band on the primaries. 
8. Pionia striata, sp.n. (Tab. IX. fig. 5.) 
Primaries dark orange-yellow, with a short black streak on the inner margin, and one near the apex; secon- 
daries hyaline, clouded with black, darkest on the outer margin: the head and thorax orange-yellow ; 
abdomen smoky black on the upperside; the sides and underside pale brown; antenne black; palpi with 
the tips and the upperside black; the underside yellow; the legs black. Expanse 1} inch. 
Hab. Nicaracua, Chontales (Belt, mus. D.); Panama, Caldera, Bugaba, Volcan de 
Chiriqui (Champion, Trétsch, mus. Staudinger). 
This species is quite distinct from any of its allies, but nearest to P. elegans, only 
without the black apical spot. 
BELEMNIA. 
Belemnia, Walker, Cat. i. p. 211; Butler, Journ. Linn. Soc., Zool. xii. p. 422, t. 29. f. 24. 
= Belemnia crameri, Baker, loc. cit. p. 8389, Journ. Linn. Soc., Zool. xii. p. 422. 
Walker founded this genus for the reception of Sphinx eryx, Fabricius. It now has 
four species placed in it, one of which occurs pretty commonly in our country, and as 
far south as Panama. 
1. Belemnia jovis. (Tab. VIII. fig. 22.) 
Belemnia jovis, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 4th ser. xv. p. 889°; Journ. Linn. Soc., Zool. xii. 
p. 4227. 
Hab. Guatemata, Senahu (Champion); Britise Honpuras, Rio Sarstoon (Blan- 
caneaux) ; Honpuras '? (Miller); Costa Rica (Van Patten, mus. D.); Panama, Veraguas 
(Salvin) '?, Volean de Chiriqui (Ribbe, mus. Staudinger). 
This fine species appears to be pretty common, though very local, in Guatemala. I 
have received but few specimens from any other locality. 
APICONOMA. 
Apiconoma, Butler, Journ. Linn. Soc., Zool. xii. p. 422, t. 29. f. 22. 
Mr. Butler states that this genus is allied to Automolis. 
1. Apiconoma ventralis. 
Glaucopis ventralis, Guérin, Ic. Régne Anim. texte, p. 5037. 
Apiconoma ? ventralis, Butl. Journ. Linn. Soc., Zool. xii. p. 422. 
Hab. Mexico }. 
This species is quite unknown to me.
