244 HETEROCERA. 
3. Hapigia (?) ——? 
Hab. Panama, Colon (Boucard, in mus. D.). 
A female specimen, too worn to describe. 
4, Hapigia ribbei, sp.n. (Tab. XXV. fig. 8.) 
Primaries uniform rich reddish-brown, crossed beyond the middle from the costal margin to the inner margin 
by a narrow dark brown line with minute yellowish dots along its inner edge, a submarginal row of very 
minute black dots extending from the apex to the anal angle, a large metallic golden spot at the end of 
the cell and a small one close to the apex on the costal margin ; secondaries uniform pale drab-cclour ; 
the underside of both wings pale brown, shaded with darker brown at the base and also along the costal 
margin of the primaries: head and thorax reddish-brown, the latter much paler beneath ; abdomen above 
pale greyish-brown, beneath pale reddish-brown, the anus yellow; palpi and legs reddish-brown ; antenne 
dark brown. Expanse 3,5, inches. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (2, Ribbe; 3, Arcé, in mus. D.). 
The sexes of this fine species closely resemble wne another. HH. ribbei is allied to 
fH. simplex (Walk.), from Cayenne, from which it is at once distinguished by the 
metallic spots on the primaries. 
CANODIA. 
Canodia, Guénée, Spécies général des Lép. vi. p. 377 (1852) ; Walker, Cat. xii. p. 968, & xxxv. 
p. 1967. 
Guénée placed this genus in the Noctuide at the head of his family “ Hemiceride ” ; 
he included in it a single species, C. carmelitoides, from Brazil, Walker subsequently 
(op. cit. xxxv. p. 1967) adding to it C. difformis, Herr.-Schaff., from Surinam; the 
latter is now known to extend northwards to Panama. Canodia is no doubt allied to 
Hapigia, and I accordingly place it in the Notodontide. 
1. Canodia difformis. 
Canodia difformis, Herr.-Schaff. Samml. aussereur. Schmett. t. 27.1321; Walk. Cat. xxxv. p.1967?, 
flab. Panama (Libbe, in mus. Staudinger).—Gutana, Surinam ! 2, 
The specimen of this species from Panama in Dr. Staudinger’s collection agrees with 
Herrich-Schaffer’s figure ; it is the only one I have seen. 
CHLIARA. 
Chliara, Walker, Cat. xii. p. 938. 
Autographa, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 251 (partim). 
Walker founded this genus upon two insects from Tropical South America: C. impe- 
rialis, from Brazil, and C. cresus, Cramer, from Berbice; J see no reason for not regarding 
these as one and the same species. C. cresus is now known to extend northwards to 
Chiriqui.
