240 HETEROCERA. 
4, Symmerista lineata, sp.n. (Tab. XXV. fig. 11.) 
Primaries greyish-white, crossed by narrow waved black lines, with a black streak at the end of the cell, and 
external to this two pale brown waved lines crossing from the costal margin to the inner margin, a wide 
black line beyond bordered on the outer edge with dark brown markings, and a submarginal row of lunular 
black markings extending from the apex to the anal angle; secondaries dusky white, broadly bordered 
with brownish-black from the apex to the anal angle, the fringe white; the underside of the primaries 
glossy brownish-black, with the inner margin and the fringe white, that of the secondaries silky white, 
with a dark-coloured border as on the upperside: head dark brown, white in front; thorax above dark 
brown, beneath white; tegule greyish-white; abdomen above dusky, beneath white, the anus pale grey ; 
legs white; antenne brown; palpi pale grey. Expanse 2,!, inches. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Ribde, in mus. Staudinger). 
This fine insect is allied to 8. distinguenda, from which it is at once distinguished by 
the black lines crossing the primaries; an allied undescribed species is found in South- 
east Brazil. 
ROSEMA. 
Rosema, Walker, Cat. v. p. 1168; Butler, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1878, p. 68. 
Walker included five species, all from Tropical South America, in this genus; three 
of these extend northwards into our region, whence I also have to record one other. 
The author of the genus erroneously referred it to the Drepanulide. 
1. Rosema dorsalis. 
Rosema dorsalis, Walk. Cat. v. p. 1169". 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Abbe, in mus. Staudinger).—Ecvapor ; Braz }. 
The only authority I have for including this southern species in our fauna is a female 
specimen in the collection of Dr. Staudinger; this is identical with a long series of 
examples before me from Ecuador. 
2. Rosema deolis.

(Champion); Panama, Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet, Volcan de Chiriqui, David (Champion).

This widely distributed species varies both in colour and in the size of the brown 
spot at the end of the cell.
