TYPHONIA.—(CECETICUS. 229 
TYPHONIA. 
Typhonia, Bruand, Essai monogr. sur la tribu des Psychides, p. 17 (1853). 
Nine species, all European, were placed in this genus by Bruand; I venture to pro- 
visionally include in it one from Guatemala. 
1. Typhonia (?) naxa, sp. n. 
Female. Primaries brownish-black, slightly hyaline, with the nerves rather darker; secondaries uniform 
hyaline-black: head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, and legs black. The head very small; the palpi 
exceedingly minute. LExpanse 14 inch. 
Hab, GuatEMALA, near the city, San Gerdénimo (Champion). 
This species appears to be very close to 7. ciliarella, but differs slightly in neuration ; 
the specimens from our country are both females and agree fairly well with Bruand’s 
figure of the female of the above-mentioned species, but without more material it is quite 
impossible to make it out satisfactorily. 7. naxa bears a most remarkable resemblance 
to a Trichopterous insect. 
PSYCHE. 
Psyche, Schrank, Fauna Boica, ii. pt. 1, p. 156 (1801). 
This genus contains a large number of species from all parts of the World; from our 
country we have received only one as yet. Our specimens unfortunately are too worn 
to identify or describe. 
1. Psyche ——? 
Hab. Mexico, Presidio (Forrer). 
Two specimens; these somewhat closely resemble Microrgyia amazonum, Felder, 
from the Amazons. 
GZCETICUS. 
Oiketicus, Lansdown Guilding, Trans. Linn. Soc. xv. p. 373 (1827); Westwood, Proc. Zool. Soc. 
1854, p. 219. 
(Eceticus is at present only retained for one species, O. kirbii, the type of the genus; 
the numerous others described by Lansdown Guilding, Westwood, &c. being now 
transferred to other genera. 0. Xirbii is apparently very widely distributed. 
1. Gceticus kirbii.
