PHAEGOPTERA. 95 
The insect figured I believe to be the species lately described by Mr. H. Edwards; 
it agrees well with his description. P. mansueta is very closely allied to H. edwardsit, 
Packard (4. translucida, Walker), if, indeed, it is distinct; but the type of Walker’s 
species is in poor condition, and therefore I do not feel certain upon this point. 
2. Phegoptera ochraceator. 
Halesidota ochraceator, Walk. Cat. xxxi. p. 310°. 
Hab. Mexico!; Guatemata, Panima, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
This species is very nearly allied to the following. 
3. Phegoptera aconia. 
Phegoptera aconia, Herr.-Schaff. Samml. aussereur. Schmett. fig. 64°. 
Halesidota aconia, Walk. Cat. ii. p. 744. 
Hab. Costa Rica (Van Patten).—VENEZzUELA }. 
Two specimens of this insect were received in Van Patten’s last collection; they 
agree with Herrich-Schaffer’s figure in all respects. 
4, Phegoptera suffusa. 
Phegoptera suffusa, Herr.-Schaff. Samml. aussereur. Schmett. f. 67. 
Halesidota suffusa, Walk. Cat. m1. p. 745. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Irazu (Rogers). 
5. Phegoptera cornea. 
Phegoptera cornea, Herr.-Schaff. Samml. aussereur. Schmett. figg. 61, 62°. 
Halesidota cornea, Walk. Cat. 11. p. 745. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hége).— VENEZUELA}. 
A single example of this species was received ; it is the only specimen | have seen as 
yet from Central America. 
6. Phegoptera alba, sp.n. (Tab. X. fig. 9.) 
Primaries and secondaries uniform semihyaline white, with the costal and inner margin of the primaries very 
pale yellow: head, thorax, and upper half of the abdomen white, the anal half of the abdomen brown, 
with a central band of white spots; antenne and fore legs yellowish brown. LExpanse 23 inches. 
Hab. Mexico (mus. Staudinger). 
This species is very distinct from any other known to me. 
7. Phegoptera superba, sp.n. (Tab. X. fig. 2.) 
Primaries pale pinkish brown, crossed by five irregular darker brown bands from the costal to the inner 
margin, the band nearest the apex is the widest, and crosses from the costal margin to the middle of the 
outer margin, a large black spot at the base; secondaries very pale pinkish brown, almost hyaline from 
the middle to the base; head, thorax, and the basal part of the abdomen pale brown; the abdomen black, 
banded with bright carmine; antenne, front of head, and palpi black; fore tibiee carmine within, the rest 
of the legs black; the underside of the abdomen pale brown. Expanse 33 inches. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Only a single example of this very fine insect was sent; it is quite unlike any other 
species known to me.
