226 _ HETEROCERA. 
from the costal margin to the inner margin: head and thorax and the upper- and undersides of the 
abdomen pale fawn-colour ; antenne and legs darker fawn-colour. Expanse 13 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion). 
One specimen. This species is allied to A. antica, Walk. 
2. Anticla carya, sp.n. (Tab. XXIII. fig. 27.) 
Primaries greenish-yellow, with a large square-shaped reddish-brown spot about the middle, extending from 
the inner margin to the cell, an angularly shaped reddish-brown mark near the apex on the outer margin, 
and a dark brown spot at the end of the cell, and beyond the latter from the costal margin to the inner 
margin an indistinct waved brown line, and nearer the outer margin a number of minute white dots 
crossing from near the apex to the inner margin; secondaries dark orange, palest at the base, crossed. 
about the middle by two indistinct brown lines, the outer margin narrowly bordered with dark brown, a few 
white scales on the inner margin close to the anal angle; the underside of both wings rich orange-brown, 
with the bands as above, but darker in colour: head and thorax greenish-yellow, the abdomen fawn- 
colour, a dark brown line extending from the base of the thorax to the anus, the abdomen reddish-orange 
beneath ; antenne and legs brown. Expanse 13 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 to 4000 feet (Champion). 
A single specimen only of this beautiful and distinct species was captured. 
ASTHENIDIA. 
Asthenia, Westwood, in Duncan’s Nat. Libr. xxxvii. p. 209 (1841) ; Walker, Cat. xxxu. p. 379 
(nomen przoc.) (nec Hiibner, 1816). 
Asthenidia, Westwood, Trans. Zool. Soc. x. p. 515, note (1879). 
The species of Asthenidia are only found in the forest-regions of Tropical America ; 
their great resemblance to the Old-World genus Strophidia is most remarkable. One 
species inhabits our country. 
1. Asthenidia transversaria, sp.n. (Tab. XXIV. fig. 1.) 
Primaries and secondaries pure white; the primaries with a brownish-black line at the end of the cell, beyond 
which are three similarly-coloured lines (the first broad, the second narrow, and the third submarginal) 
crossing from the costal margin to the inner margin; secondaries crossed from the costal margin close 
to the base to near the anal angle (but not reaching it) by a narrow brownish-black line, a second line of 
the same colour crossing beyond this from the costal margin near the apex to the inner margin close to the 
anal angle, and also with a small indistinct greyish marking on the outer margin below the anal angle, a 
plack marginal line from the apex to just above the small tail, there forming a black spot, bordered on the 
outer side by a bright orange angular mark, and on the inner side of the tail a large black spot ; the under- 
side of both wings pure white, with the darker markings of the upper surface showing through : head, 
thorax, and abdomen white; antenne yellowish, rather deeply pectinated; palpi black above, white 
beneath ; legs yellowish-white. Expanse 2? inches. 
Hab. Nicaracua, Chontales (Belt); Costa Rica, Cache (Rogers); Panama, Bugaba 
(Champion), Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion, Arcé).—CotomBia (mus. D.). 
This species appears to be common in our country as far north as Nicaragua, and to 
extend southwards beyond the limits of our region. A. transversaria differs from the 
other described species in having an orange-coloured spot, instead of a red one, on the 
secondaries, and in the different position of the black bands; it is allied to 4. geome-
