174 HETEROCERA. 
This species is common in Mexico. Walker, in his Catalogue, erroneously places 
C. multifenestrata as a synonym of Cicula trifenestrata, an Indian species, with which 
it has nothing whatever to do. 
The long series of specimens before me show considerable variation in colour, as well 
as in the number of clear spots; as a rule the males are always darker than the females; 
some of the females are identical with Herrich-Schaffer’s figure. Herrich-Schiffer gives 
“ Africa ?” 1 as the locality of his specimen. 
Examples of this species from Mexico are labelled “ Saturnia polythyris, Boisd.,” in 
the Paris Museum ; but I cannot find that Boisduval described it under this name. 
3. Copaxa simson.

Hab. Panama}. 
This fine species is only known to me from Maassen and Weymer’s figure. 
4, Copaxa trotschi, sp.n. (Tab. XVII. fig. 3, g.) 
Primaries and secondaries reddish-brown, shaded with pinkish-grey scales; the costal margin of the primaries 
from the base to about the middle black, the black extending in the form of a band, and, crossing by the 
end of the cell, reaches the outer margin, a black transverse band from the extreme apex to the inner 
margin and nearest to the anal angle, all the veins dusky, a transparent spot at the end of the cell ; 
secondaries crossed by three blackish bands, the first near the base, the second beyond the cell, and the 
third submarginal, a transparent spot at the end of the cell: head and thorax greyish; antenne very 
light brown; abdomen pale reddish-brown, the anal segments greyish ; legs pale reddish-brown. Expanse 
44 inches. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Trétsch, Ribbe, in mus. Staudinger). 
This species is allied to Copaxa simson, Maass., from which it is easily distinguished 
by its much smaller size and duller colour, and by its not possessing the feathery black 
markings on the primaries, as shown in the figure of that species. A second specimen 
in Dr. Staudinger’s collection is considerably duller in colour than the specimen 
figured. 
Both examples are much rubbed and in very poor condition. 
5. Copaxa expandens.
