144 HETEROCERA. 
4. Virbia minuta. 
Terna minuta, Feld. Reise Nov. Lep. iv. t. 105. f. 8, Index, p.9'. 
Hab. Muxico, Cordova (Réimeli).— Amazons (Bates) 1, 
The Mexican specimens are larger than Dr. Felder’s figure, and the primaries are of 
a lighter brown colour; but in all other respects they are similar. Ido not agree with 
Mr. Stretch in considering this insect to be identical with V. mentiens, Walk., of which 
I have a long series of specimens before me from Costa Rica. 
5. Virbia thersites, sp.n. (Tab. XIII. fig. 24.) 
Primaries pale brown, with a cream-coloured elongated spot at the base of each wing, and a round spot of the 
same colour close to the inner margin beyond the middle, but nearer the apex; secondaries light orange- 
yellow, broadly bordered with black from the apex to the anal angle, the costal margin narrowly streaked 
with black: head, antenne, palpi, and thorax dark brown; collar bright red; abdomen black, orange- 
yellow at the sides; legs dark brown. Expanse 14 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
This species appears to be very distinct, its nearest ally being V. medarda, Cram. 
SAGARIS. 
Sagaris, Walker, Cat. ii. p. 8138. 
This genus was founded for the reception of a species captured by Mr. Bates on the 
Amazons. 
1. Sagaris hore, sp. n. (Tab. XIII. fig. 25.) 
Primaries and secondaries uniform deep black glossed with dark blue, the primaries crossed from the middle 
of the costal margin to the anal angle by a bright chrome-yellow band: head, thorax, antenne, and 
palpi black ; abdomen black glossed with dark blue; legs black. Expanse 14 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion), Volcan de Chiriqui (£1b0é, 
mus. Staudinger). 
I have only received two examples of this pretty species. 
SCEDROS. 
Scedros, Walker, Cat. ii. p. 316. 
This is another genus founded by Walker for the reception of a Brazilian insect 
discovered by Mr. Bates. I include it in our list upon the authority of Boisduval, who 
redescribed Walker’s species as Milodora agis. 
1. Scedros dilatata. 
Scedros (Josia) dilatata, Walk. Cat. ii. p. 316°. 
Milodora agis, Boisd. Lép. Guat. p. 85’. 
Hab. Nicaracva 2,—Ecvapor (Buckley, mus. D.).; Braziu (Bates) }. 
Upon comparing Boisduval’s type with that of Walker, I find they are identical.
