STILPNOTIA.—CARAMA,. - 167 
STILPNOTIA. 
Stilpnotia, Westwood and Humphry, Brit. Moths, i. p. 90; Walker, Cat. iv. p. 841. 
Several species of this genus are known from both the Old and the New Worlds, the 
genus inhabiting tropical as well as temperate regions. 
1. Stilpnotia tibialis. 
Stilpnotia tibialis, Walk. Cat. iv. p. 842". 
Hab. GuaTEMALA, Panima (Champion); Honpuras (Dyson 1); Panama, Bugaba 800 
to 1000 feet, Caldera in Chiriqui 1200 feet (Champion). 
The specimens from Guatemala and the State of Panama are smaller than the type, 
but in other respects they agree. I believe that this species will represent a distinct 
genus; but at present the available material is insufficient to be able to form a decided 
opinion, the three specimens before me being from different localities. 
2. Stilpnotia pura. 
Stilpnotia pura, Walk. Cat. vii. p. 17327. 
Hab. Panama, David (Champion).—Amazons, Santarem (Bates 1). 
A single specimen of this species was obtained by Mr. Champion; it agrees well 
with the type in the British Museum. 
CARAMA. 
Carama, Walker, Cat. iv. p. 843. 
Carama was founded by Walker upon a single species (C. sparshalli) from Brazil. 
The genus now has about seven species placed in it, all from the Neotropical Region ; 
in our country it is represented by four species. 
1, Carama walkeri. 
Carama walkeri, Butl. Cist. Ent. 11. p. 203°. 
Carama sparshalli, Walk. (nec Curtis), Cat. iv. p. 8447. 
Hab. Mexico! (coll. Brit. Mus.).—Ecuapor ; Amazons, Para ?, Santarem 2. 
This beautiful species appears to be very rare. The only specimen known to me- 
from our country is the one from Mexico in the British Museum ; from Ecuador I have 
_ specimens of both sexes, which were captured by the late Mr. Buckley. 
2. Carama ovina. 
Phalena-bombyx ovina, Sepp, Surinaam Vlinders, iii. p. 233, t. 105°. 
Euproctis (?) ovina, Walk. Cat. iv. p. 834’. 
Carama ovina, Butl. Cist. Ent. 11. p. 203°. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Riimeli); Guatemata, Las Mercedes 3000 feet, Capetillo 
(Champion); Panama, Caldera in Chiriqui 1200 feet (Champion).—VENEZUELA 3 ; 
Guiana, Surinam 12; Bo.ivia 3.
