TERNA.—VIRBIA. 143 
TERNA. 
Terna, Walker, Cat. xxxi. p. 267, 
Walker included two species in this genus, one of these being from our country, the 
other from the Amazons. 
1. Terna ampla. 
Terna ampla, Walk. Cat. xxxi. p. 267°. 
Hab. Mexico, Orizaba (Botterz) 1. 
The type is the only specimen known to me. 
2. Terna zonata. 
Terna zonata, Feld. Reise Nov. Lep. iv. t. 104. f. 18, Index, p. 9°. 
Hab. Mexico (Bilimek), Orizaba (Hedemann) |. 
I have not received any specimens of this species. 
VIRBIA. 
Virbia, Walker, Cat. ii. p. 470. 
This genus was founded by Walker for a few species from Central and South America ; 
it now has about six species placed in it, all of which are very similar in colour. 
1. Virbia luteilinea. 
Virbia luteilinea, Walk. Cat. ii. p. 471°. 
Hab. Mexico (Hartweg)}; Guatzmata, Cahabon (Champion) ; Nicaracva, Chontales 
(Janson); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (ibbe, mus. Staudinger).—CoLoMBIa (mus. D.). 
This appears to be a very scarce species. I have only received a few examples, 
mostly in poor condition. 
2. Virbia mentiens. 
Virbia mentiens, Walk. Cat. ii. p. 471°. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (Rogers).—VENEZUELA (Dyson) *. 
The Costa-Rican examples agree well with the Venezuelan type in the British 
Museum. 
8. Virbia medarda. 
Phalena medarda, Cram. Pap. Exot. iv. t. 345. f. F’. 
Pheochlena medarda, Hiibn. Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 176; Walk. Cat. ii. p. 470°. 
Virbia medarda, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1878, p. 62. 
Hab. Guatemata, Panzos (Champion); Panama, Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion), 
near the city (J. J. Walker).—Venuzunta (Dyson)? ; GUIANA, Surinam !}, Roraima 
(Whitely, mus. D.). | | 
This is the largest species of the genus; it occurs sparingly over a wide range of 
country. The example before me from Roraima is rather darker in colour than those 
‘from our country.
