PEROLA, 
Perola, Walker, Cat. iv. p. 920. 
Walker founded this genus upon a single species, P. murina, from Rio Janeiro, the 
type of which is now in the British Museum. From our country I have now to add 
five new species. 
1. Perola daona, sp.n. (Tab. XXIII. fig. 11.) 
Primaries uniform pale fawn-colour, crossed from the apex to about the middle of the inner margin by a narrow 
brown line and by a submarginal dark brown line from the apex to the anal angle; secondaries uniform 
dark reddish-brown: head, thorax, antenne, and legs pale fawn-colour; abdomen reddish-brown. Expanse 
1} inch. 
Hab. Costa Rica (Van Patten). 
One specimen. 
2. Perola dora, sp.n. (Tab. XXIII. fig. 12.) 
Primaries pale silky fawn-colour, thickly irrorated with black scales, more especially near the base and anal 
angle; secondaries considerably lighter in colour; the underside of both wings uniform very pale fawn- 
colour: head bright orange-colour; antenne pale brown; thorax and abdomen glossy fawn-colour, the 
former dark brown beneath, the latter yellowish near the anus; legs pale fawn-colour. Expanse 
1 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet, Caldera in Chiriqui 1200 feet 
(Champion). 
This insect is closely allied to an undescribed species from Ecuador in my own 
collection. 
8. Perola caria, sp.n. (Tab. XXIII. fig. 18.) 
Primaries dark silky fawn-colour, a spot at the end of the cell and a narrow submarginal line dark brown; 
secondaries still darker in colour: head, thorax, and abdomen pale brown; legs brown. Expanse 2 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
One specimen only of this small dull-coloured species was captured. 
4, Perola eleea, sp.n. (Tab. XXIII. fig. 14.) 
Primaries pale reddish fawn-colour, mottled with a few darker scales, with a narrow black line crossing from 
near the apex to the inner margin:close to the base; secondaries uniform pale fawn-colour, slightly darker 
at the anal angle; the underside of both wings pale fawn-colour, very silky on the costal margin of the 
primaries: head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, and legs pale fawn-colour. Expanse ? inch. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Ribbe, in mus. Staudinger). 
This little species is allied to P. caria, but quite distinct, the band on the primaries 
being in an entirely different position. 
5. Perola ceres, sp.n. (Tab. XXIII. fig. 15, 2.) 
Male and female. Primaries pale brownish-grey, shaded with darker brown, with a dark brown line crossing 
from near the apex on the costal margin to the anal angle, and on the inner side of this a pale greyish band, 
the latter crossing the end of the cell, where it is joined by a narrow band of the same colour running up
