224 HETEROCERA. 
1. Hygrochroa muscosa. 
Anthocroca muscosa, But). Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1878, p. 79, t. 3. f. 5 (no. 148) *. 
Anthocroca cuneifera, Butl. loc. cit. p. 79, t. 8. f. 4 (no. 149)”. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Ridde, in mus. Staudinger).— Amazons } ?. 
The examples from Chiriqui are identical with Butler’s types in the British Museum 
from the Amazons. I have not the slightest doubt but that they represent the sexes 
of one and the same species, A. muscosa being the female and 4. cuneifera the male. 
2. Hygrochroa casnonia, sp.n. (Anthocroca casnonia, Tab. XXIII. fig. 25, ¢ .) 
Male. Primaries pinkish fawn-colour, shaded with brown and greenish-yellow, with a dark curved line near 
the base, a large Y-shaped. mark in the middle of the costal margin, and a narrow dark brown line 
crossing beyond the middle from the costal margin near the apex to the inner margin close to the anal 
angle; secondaries reddish fawn-colour, palest along the costal margin and at the apex, crossed by two 
indistinct waved brownish lines and by a dark brown marginal line; the underside of the primaries pale 
yellowish-brown, crossed beyond the middle by two narrow dark brown lines; the underside of the secon- 
daries uniform brownish-yellow, somewhat greyish near the anal angle, and crossed beyond the middle 
from the costal margin to the anal angle by two waved lines of dark brown: head and collar pale yellowish- 
brown; thorax and abdomen brown, the anus paler; antenne pale reddish-brown; palpi brown, with 
yellow tips; legs yellowish-brown. Expanse 1,3, inch. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
This pretty little species is allied to Anthocroca muscosa, Butl. 
3. Hygrochroa rutila, sp. n. 
Primaries and secondaries uniform pale fawn-colour, shaded with white, the primaries with a dark brown band 
crossing from the apex to the inner margin, the band bordered externally with a series of lunular whitish 
markings; the underside of both wings uniform pale yellowish fawn-colour, with two indistinct narrow 
brown lines crossing the secondaries from the costal margin to the inner margin near the anal angle: 
head, thorax, and abdomen pale yellowish fawn-colour ; antenne and legs darker. Expanse 17 inch. 
Hab. Nicaraeva, Chontales (Belt). 
One specimen. This example is not sufficiently well preserved to figure. 
CARTHARA. 
Carthara, Walker, Cat. xxxiil. p. 914. 
This genus was founded by Walker upon a single species (C. albicosta) from the 
Amazons region; the type is stated to be in the Saunders Collection, but upon a recent 
visit to the Museum at Oxford I was unable to find it. I have to record three species 
from our region. 
1. Carthara veca, sp.n. (Tab. XXIII. figg. 21 ¢, 22 2.) 
Male. Primaries pale reddish-brown, crossed by four or five indistinct narrow waved dark brown lines, a 
square-shaped patch close to the base on the inner margin, and a dash of dark brown close to the apex ; 
secondaries uniform pale brown, with several dark brown streaks along the inner margin ; underside 
uniform pale brown, both wings crossed by a central band of narrow double lines of darker brown: head, 
thorax, abdomen, antenne, and legs dark brown. Female of a much darker brown tint than the male, 
and with all the markings much more indistinct. Expanse, g¢, 14 inch; 9, 1? inch.
