SEMYRA.—TALIMA. 221 
antenna, and palpi reddish-brown ; collar, thorax, and abdomen almost black; tegule reddish-brown; the 
underside of the thorax and legs yellowish-brown. Expanse ? inch. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion). 
Only one example was captured of this curious little insect; it is, I believe, a male, 
but I am doubtful if it is rightly placed in the genus Semyra, the primaries being rather 
more pointed at the apex, and the antenne not quite so long or so deeply pectinated as 
in the other species of the genus. On account of the thickness of the scales I am unable 
to see sufficient of the neuration of the primaries to determine with certainty its exact 
affinities.

This genus was founded upon £. distincta, Moschl. (doc. cit. t. 10. f. 37), from 
Paramaribo, the same author also including in it Limacodes scapha, Harris (L. undi- 
fera, Walker).

The larva of . scapha has been described by Dr. Harris and also by Dr. Packard ; 
it is said to feed on walnut. We have received one specimen, a female, of this species 
from Guatemala. 
TALIMA. 
Talima, Walker, Cat. v. p. 1120. 
A single species, 7. postica, from Venezuela, was placed in this genus by Walker ; 
this insect we are now able to trace as far north as the Volcan de Chiriqui. A second 
species (cf. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1878, p. 75) from Tropical South America has been 
described by Butler.

A small dull-coloured insect closely allied to Z. datescens, Butl., from the Amazons.
