SCLATHOS.—LAGOA. 213 
The insect figured by Stoll is very much darker in colour than any of the specimens 
before me; but I have not the slightest doubt that all should be referred to the same 
species. Our examples from the State of Panama are identical with Felder’s figures, 
which were taken from Bogota specimens. 
DALCERA. 
Dalcera, Herrich-Schiffer, Samml. aussereur. Schmett. pp. 7, 59, t. 88. f. 180; Walker, Cat. v. 
p. 1106. 
This Tropical-American genus is represented in our country by three species, one of 
which was originally described from Rio Janeiro; these insects remind one very much 
of the Laparide. 
1. Dalcera alba, sp. n. 
Male. Primaries white, slightly hyaline and tinged with pale brown along the inner margin; secondaries 
uniformly white: head, thorax, and abdomen brownish-white; antennw pale brownish-yellow ; legs pale 
brown. Female considerably larger than the male; the primaries slightly browner along the costal 
margin, but with not quite so much colour along the inner margin. Expanse, 3, 3 inch; 92, 1 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Presidio (Forrer); GuatemMALA, Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 feet 
(Champion). 
One example from each locality. 
D. alba is most nearly allied to an undescribed species from Bolivia in my own 
collection. 
2. Dalcera mesoa, sp. n. | 
Primaries chrome-yellow, with the centre of the wing from the base almost to the outer margin dull lead- 
colour; secondaries uniform chrome-yellow: head, thorax, and abdomen yellow; legs brownish-yellow ; 
(antenne wanting). The underside of both wings uniform pale yellow, the darker colour on the primaries 
hardly visible. Expanse 3 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion), Volcan de Chiriqui (Ribbe, in 
mus. Staudinger). 
The two specimens of this pretty little species are in very poor condition ; I believe 
both are males. 
3. Dalcera ochracea ? 
Dalcera ochracea, Walk. Cat. v. p. 1107’. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (Rogers).—Ecvapor ; SourH-East BRAZIL, 
Rio Janeiro 1. 
The single example received from Costa Rica is in very bad condition, but I believe 
it belongs to Walker’s species; it nearly agrees with specimens from Ecuador in my 
own collection. 
LAGOA.

Walker included in this genus two North-American species, L. opercularis and
