218 _ HETEROCERA. 
1. Kupalia trimacula. 
Phalena Bombyx trimacula, Sepp, Ins. Surin. i. p. 97, t. 45°. 
Nyssia trimacula, Walk. Cat. v. p. 1188 ’. 
Hab. Muxico, Presidio (Forrer), Cordova (Riimeli), Jalapa (Hoge); GuaTEmata, 
Cerro Zunil 4000 feet, San Gerénimo (Champion); Panama, Bugaba 800 to 1000 feet, 
Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion, Rkibbe)—Gutana, Surinam}; 
Ecuapor; Amazons, Para 2. 
This species is fairly common in our country. I have a large series of specimens 
before me, none of which are quite so dark in colour as Sepp’s figure; I have very little 
doubt, however, that they belong to the same species. The metallic spots on the 
primaries vary in number from one to four, and are sometimes unsymmetrical or entirely 
wanting; in a specimen before me one wing has a single spot and the other wing 
three spots. This species is found over a very extended range of country, and I think 
it most probable, when we have received more specimens, that several species now 
standing as distinct will prove to be nothing but slight local varieties of E. trimacula. 
The larva, pupa, and cocoon are figured by Sepp; the larva is said to feed upon citron 
and orange trees. 
2. Hupalia argentata. 
Nyssia argentata, Walk. Cat. v. p. 11843. 
Neomiresa argentata, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1878, p. 74’. 
Hab. Panama, Boquete 3500 feet (Champion).—Amazons, Juruapuca?; Braz}. 
The female example before me from the State of Panama agrees well with the type 
in the British Museum. Mr. Butler states? that the specimen captured by Mr. Trail on 
the Rio Jurué is smaller and altogether brighter in colour than Walker’s type. 
3. Eupalia argentea, sp.n. (Tab. XXIII. fig. 10, ¢.) 
Male, Primaries dark brown, lightest from the base along the inner margin to the anal angle, with a darker 
brown spot beyond the middle, two waved narrow metallic lines crossing from near the apex to the inner 
margin, and a dark brown line crossing near the base; secondaries uniform dark blackish-brown, with the 
fringe yellowish-brown ; the underside of both wings dark silky-brown, palest on the outer margins: 
head, antenne, palpi, and the underside of the thorax dark brown; thorax and abdomen light yellowish- 
brown; the legs and underside of the abdomen dark brown; the anus slightly tipped with yellow. The 
female similar to the male, but larger and considerably paler in colour and not having the metallic lines so 
distinctly marked. Expanse, g, 1j inch; 2, 14 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hége); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet 
(Champion). 
This species resembles EL. argentata (Walker), but is considerably darker in colour, 
and differs slightly in the form of the primaries. The specimen from Mexico is a 
female, that from the Volcan de Chiriqui a male.
