TIFAMA,—HAPIGIA. 243 
other Tropical-American species, two of which are now known to inhabit our 
region. | 
1. Tifama chira. 
Phalena Noctua chira, Cram. Pap. Exot. iv. p. 39, t. 308. £. E* (nec Drury). 
Hab. British Honpuras, Belize (Blancaneaux).—Guiana, Surinam 1, 
The specimen before me from British Honduras agrees well with Cramer’s figure, but 
not with that of Drury; the latter, I believe, represents a species of Noctuide. 
2. Tifama (?) truncata. 
Notodonta truncata, Herr.-Schaff. Samml. aussereur. Schmett. t. 87. f. 4947, 
Notodonta (n. g.?) truncata, Walk. Cat. xxxii. p. 410. 
Hab. Mexico, Presidio (Forrer)—Soutn AMERICA 12, 
One example. This insect in neuration is extremely close to 7. chira; it, however, 
has much longer primaries, and may prove to belong to a distinct genus. 
HAPIGIA. 
Hapigia, Guénée, Spécies général des Lép. vi. p. 875 (1852) ; Walker, Cat. xi. p. 960. 
Corymbia, Walker, Cat. xxxiii. p. 765 (pars). 
Lobogona, Felder, Reise d. Nov. Lep. t. 98. f. 4, Erkl. der Taf. 75 bis 107, p. 6 (1874). 
_ Hapigia is probably confined to Tropical America; the Asiatic species included by 
Walker in Corymbia, being most probably generically distinct. Four species inhabit 
our region. ‘he genus is placed in the Noctuide by Guénée and Walker. 
1. Hapigia nodicornis. 
Hapigia nodicornis, Guén. Sp. Gén. Lep. vi. p. 376, t. 12. £. 77. 
Hapygia nodicornis, Walk. Cat. xii. p. 960°. 
_ Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Ridde).—Gutana, Cayenne ! 2, 
Herr Ribbe obtained several specimens of this species in the State of Panama; Mr. 
Champion did not meet with it. Chiriqui specimens agree perfectly with Guénée’s figure. 
2. Hapigia smerinthoides. 
Corymbia smerinthoides, Walk. Cat. xxxiii. p. 765 (¢ )*. 
Hab. Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt); Payama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Ribde).—Gutana, 
Demerara!; Amazons, Villa Nova}. 
Of this species I have four female specimens from our country before me, all agreeing 
well with Walker's types. The only male example known to me, from Chiriqui, is in 
the collection of Dr. Staudinger ; it is rather smaller, and has the costal margin slightly 
paler than in the female.
