LEBEDA,.—ARTACE. 203: 
with the male of L. (Odonestis) ampla, Walker, from Silhet, and, indeed, very closely 
resembles that insect. 
1. Lebeda championi, p.n. (Tab. XXII. fig. 1.) 
Male. Primaries pale brownish fawn-colour, crossed from the costal margin to the inner margin by four indi- 
stinct waved darker brown lines; secondaries uniform dark reddish-brown: head, antenne, thorax, and 
abdomen the same colour as the primaries ; the underside of both wings uniform greyish-brown, and both 
crossed by two almost central dark brown lines. Expanse 23 inches. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
LASIOCAMPA. 
Lasiocampa, Schrank, Fauna Boica, i. pt. 2, p. 153 (1802). 
Fourteen species were placed in this genus by Schrank. 
1. Lasiocampa thyatira, sp.n. (Tab. XXII. fig. 2.) 
Male. Primaries blackish-brown, with a spot on the costal margin beyond the middle, a round spot at the 
apex, and a large patch at the anal angle extending almost to the base pale cream-colour; secondaries 
pale cream-colour, shaded with brown from the costal margin near the middle to the anal angle; on the 
underside both wings are paler in colour and the secondaries are crossed in the middle by a dark-coloured 
line: head, thorax, and abdomen pale cream-colour; antenne dark brown; palpi cream-colour, with a 
few dark brown hairs close to their base; legs brownish-white. Expanse 13 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (fibbe, in mus. Staudinger). 
This beautiful insect resembles Thyatira batis (Linn.), var. mexicana, recently described 
by Mr. H. Edwards, specimens of which were obtained by Mr. Champion from the 
Volcan de Chiriqui. In neuration L. thyatira is almost identical with the European 
L. ilicifolia, but differs slightly in the shape of the anal angle of the primaries. 
Dr. Staudinger’s specimen is the only one I have seen. 
2. Lasiocampa modesta, sp. n. 
Male. Primaries dull fawn-colour, crossed by three indistinct bands of small dark-coloured spots, and with a 
dark brownish spot at the end of the cell; secondaries uniform dull fawn-colour, with a dark-coloured 
submarginal row of very minute dots: head, thorax, and abdomen dark fawn-colour; antenne blackish ; 
legs dark brown; the underside of both wings pale fawn-colour, the outer margin of the secondaries 
shaded with blackish-brown. Expanse 1 inch. 
Had. Panama, Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion). 
Only one specimen of this small Lasiocampa was obtained ; it is not very closely 
allied to any other described species. 
ARTACKH. 
Artace, Walker, Cat. vi. p. 1491. 
Four species were included in this genus by Walker, two (A. punctistriga and A. albi- 
cans) from the United States, one (A. punctivena) from an unknown locality, and one 
(A. bifascia) from South Africa; the last-named doubtfully included. Artace is
