162 HETEROCERA. 
melas, Feld., has been described; it has nothing to do with Gnophela, Walk. One 
species is found in our country. 
1. Phanoptis vitrina, sp. n. (Tab. XIV. fig. 26.) 
Primaries hyaline, broadly black at the apex, a wide whitish hyaline band crossing beyond the middle from the 
costal margin almost to the anal angle (but not reaching the margin), two small hyaline spots close to the 
apex, the veins are all black, except where the white band crosses the wing; secondaries hyaline, the 
costal apex and: outer margins bordered with black, the veins black: head and antenne black; palpi 
orange, tipped with black; tegule black ; thorax and abdomen black above, dusky white beneath ; a white 
spot at the back of the head and one on each side of the thorax ; legs brownish black. The female is 
similar to the male but rather browner in colour, and the antenne are not nearly so deeply pectinated. 
Expanse, ¢ 2 inches, 9 2} inches. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Arcé, mus. D.), Bugaba (Champion). 
This fine species is allied to P. cyanomelas, Feld., from which it is at once distin- 
guished by its much larger size, the entire absence of any blue gloss on the wings, and 
by the white band across the primaries. P. vitrina appears to be confined to Chiriqui ; 
T have not seen it from any other locality. 
LOCHA. 
Locha, Walker, Cat. ii. p. 335; Butler, Cist. Ent. 1. p. 120. 
Walker founded this genus upon two Tropical American insects, one of which is, so 
far as at present known to me, only found in our country, Colombia, and Ecuador; I 
have no evidence of its occurrence further south. 
1. Locha hyalina. 
@. Locha (Dioptis) hyalina, Walk. Cat. ii. p. 836°; Butl. Cist. Ent. ii. p. 120’. 
&. Erycinopsis diaphana, Feld. Reise Nov. Lep. t. 105. f. 9°. 
&. Locha perspicua, Butl. Cist. Ent. 1. p. 120%. | 
Hab. Nicaraaua, Chontales4 (Belt, Janson); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Arcé, 
mus. D.).—Souta AMERICA!?; CoLoMBIA, Bogota?; Ecuapor (mus. D.). 
I cannot see that the insect described as L. perspicua by Mr. Butler is in any way 
distinct from Z. hyalina, Walk. In a long series of specimens the black margin of 
the wings proves to be a variable character. Walker’s type is a female; Mr. Butler’s 
a male. 
STENELE. 
Stenele, Walker, Cat. ii. p. 356. 
A genus founded by Walker upon an insect from the Amazon region. One species 
is also found in our country. 
1. Stenele lutescens. (Tab. XIV. fig. 27.) 
Chrysauge lutescens, Butl. Cist. Ent. i. p. 88'; Lep. Exot. p. 176, t. 61. f. 14. 
Hab. Mexico (Boucard, mus. D.) ; Guatemaua, Sinanja, Chiacam, Panima (Champion) ;
