208 . HETEROCERA. 
Mr. Champion only obtained a male and a female of this dull-coloured insect. I 
believe it belongs to the genus Trabala, but the wings are so thickly covered with scales. 
that I cannot see the neuration, and therefore do not feel quite certain that I have 
placed it rightly. The specimen in Dr. Staudinger’s collection is much worn and faded,. 
and is considerably paler in colour. T. fusca is closely allied to a Brazilian species in 
my own collection.

8. Apatelodes ardeola, sp.n. (Tab. XXII. fig. 9.) 
Female. Primaries dark reddish-brown, crossed from the costal margin to the inner margin by two bands of a 
pale greyish colour (slightly pinkish in shade in some lights)—the first band nearest the base, and not quite 
half the width of the second band, and very much dentated on the basal margin, where it is crossed by a 
zigzag narrow dark brown line, the second band with a waved narrow indistinct line crossing the middle 
from a triangular hyaline spot close to the apex to near the anal angle; secondaries bright reddish-brown, 
lightest at the base and along the costal margin, the anal angle slightly darker, the outer margin greyish : 
head and thorax dark brown; abdomen reddish-brown, with mixed reddish-brown and greyish hairs ; 
antenne greyish. The underside of both wings reddish-brown, the apex of the primaries with hyaline 
spots. Expanse 2 inches. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Ribbe, in mus. Staudinger).—Amazons (Leech, 
mus. D.). 
This species is allied to the Mexican A. boméycina, Felder, though very differently 
marked on the primaries. The specimen from the Amazons is rather duller in colour, 
but in all other respects identical with Dr. Staudinger’s example. 
4. Apatelodes adrastia, sp.n. (Tab. XXII. fig. 8.) 
Male. Primaries pale fawn-colour, crossed by several very indistinct, slightly darker, bands, and with a reddish- 
brown spot near the base on the inner margin, a waved narrow dark brown line crossing from the costal 
margin near the apex to the inner margin close to the anal angle, and a very minute hyaline spot close to the 
apex ; secondaries pale fawn-colour, rather yellower than the primaries, and with a very indistinct whitish 
central line crossing from the middle of the costal margin to near the anal angle, the line here joining a 
small reddish-brown patch; the fringe of both wings dull brown; the underside fawn-colour, both wings 
with a narrow submarginal white line, the secondaries clouded from the base to about the middle with 
reddish-brown: head, thorax, legs, antenn#, and palpi greyish fawn-colour; abdomen darker, the anus 
tufted with dark brown. Female. Resembling the male, but considerably larger, very much paler in 
colour, and all the markings much more indistinct. Expanse, ¢, 1? inch; 9, 23 inches, 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Hége), Valladolid in Yucatan (Gaumer); Costa Rica (Van 
Patten, mus. D.); Panama, Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion).
