ROSEMA.—CONTREBIA. 241 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 8000 feet (Champion).—Cotomsia, Bogota 2 3 
Amazons, Rio Sapo 2. 
A male of this species was sent from the Volcan de Chiriqui; it only differs from 
Felder’s figure in being slightly darker in colour, and in having the antenne rather 
deeply pectinated. 
4. Rosema ethra, sp.n. (Tab. XXV. fig. 12, 3.) 
Primaries pale pea-green, the costal margin from the base to the apex edged with brownish-yellow, a small 
black spot at the end of the cell and a pale brownish-yellow spot about the middle of the inner margin, 
the latter between the spot and the base of a much darker green colour; secondaries silky-white, with the 
fringe pale yellowish-brown ; the underside of the primaries greenish-white, with the costal margin yellow, 
that of the secondaries as above: head and tegule pale pea-green; thorax above pale fawn-colour, beneath 
pinkish-red ; abdomen above and beneath yellowish-white, the base above pale fawn-colour ; antenne and 
legs brown. Expanse 12 inch. 
Hab. Guatemata, Cahabon 1000 feet (Champion). 
One specimen. ft. ethra differs from its allies in having white hind wings; it is 
most nearly allied to an undescribed species from Ecuador in my own collection. 
CERURA. 
Cerura, Schrank, Fauna Boica, ii. pt. 2, p. 155 (1802); Stephens, Ilustr. Brit. Ent. Haust. ii. p. 15 
(1829); Walker, Cat. v. p. 982, & xxxii. p. 407. 
This well-known genus is widely distributed in the Old and New Worlds; one species 
inhabits our region. 
1. Cerura cinerea ? 
Cerura cinerea, Walk. Cat. xxxii. p. 407°; Grote, List of North-American Moths, p. 207. 
Hab. North America!?,— Mexico, Jalapa (Hodge); GuatemaLa, San Gerdénimo 
(Champion). 
The specimens I somewhat doubtfully refer to this species are very much stained ;. so 
far as I am able to see they appear to be almost identical in the markings of the 
primaries with Walker’s type. 
CONTREBIA. 
Contrebia, Walker, Cat. ix. p. 184. 
Walker placed this genus in the Noctuide; but in my opinion, and in Mr. Butler’s 
also, it should be included in the Notodontide. Contrebia contains a single species 
from Honduras.
