PSEUDAPISTOSIA.—OPHARUS. 101 
3. Pseudapistosia lystra, sp. n. 
Primaries and secondaries pale brown, with a purple tinge, the veins all darker brown ; a yellow spot, and three 
very minute black dots, at the base of the primaries: head and front of thorax yellow, with small black 
dots; thorax and base of abdomen brown; abdomen yellow, banded with black; antenne brown; palpi 
yellow, the tips black ; legs pale yellowish brown. Expanse 23 inches. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
This species is nearly allied to P. cinerea, from which it can easily be distinguished 
by its much darker colour. I believe there are two or three specimens of this species 
in the British Museum from Colombia. 
4. Pseudapistosia degenera. 
Halesidota degenera, Walk. Cat. iii. p. 7427. 
_ Hab. Guatemata, Torola (Champion); Panama, Bugaba (Champion), Volcan de 
Chiriqui (Ribbe, mus. Staudinger).— VENEZUELA. 
The examples from our country agree well with Walker’s type in the British Museum. 
PSYCHOPHASMA. 
Psychophasma, Butler, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1878, p. 51. 
Mr. Butler founded this genus for the reception of Halesidota albidator, Walker 
(H. erosa, Herr.-Schaff.). Herrich-Schéaffer figured it some years before the publication 
of Walker’s description. 
1. Psychophasma, erosa. 
Halesidota erosa, Herr.-Schaff. Samml. aussereur. Schmett. t. 96. f. 550. 
Halesidota albidator, Walk. Cat. xxxi. p. 313°. 
Psychophasma albidator, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1878, p. 52. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Ridbe).—Amazons!?2; Ecuapor (Buckley, mus. D.). 
The only evidence of the occurrence of this species in our country is the specimen 
obtained some years ago by Herr Ribbe. In Ecuador it is a rather common insect, and 
Mr. Buckley sent me a fine series of specimens from that country. 
OPHARUS. 
Opharus, Walker, Cat. iii. p. 728. 
This genus was founded by Walker for the reception of a Brazilian insect, which I 
have now received from Guatemala. 
1. Opharus procroides. 
Opharus procroides, Walk. Cat. iii. p. 7291. 
Hab. Guatemata, Las Mercedes 3000 feet (Champion)..—Braziu !. 
The specimens before me agree well with Walker’s type in the British Museum.
