This genus is represented in our country by three species, one of which is here 
described. Crinodes inhabits the tropical regions of both the Old and the New World. 
The genus was erroneously placed in the Noctuide by Walker. 
1. Crinodes besckei. 
Crino besckei, Hiibn. Samml. exot. Schmett. ii. t. 194. ff. 1-4; Walk. Cat. xiv. p. 18467.

Hab. Mexico}, Cordova (Hége); Guatemata, Duefias (Champion); Panama, Volcan 
de Chiriqui (Champion, Arcé).—Amazons, Para!; Braziu}. 
This fine species is found over a very extended range of country, but does not appear 
to be common anywhere; it is most nearly allied to C. dellatrix (Cram.), from Guiana 
and Brazil. 
2. Crinodes ritseme. 
Crinodes ritseme, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 5th ser. ii. p. 1787. 
Hab. Panama, near the city (J. J. Walker), Bugaba 800 to 1000 feet (Champion).— 
Upper Amazons, Rio Madeira 1. 
This is a smaller and darker-coloured insect than C. besckei; I have both sexes 
before me. 
8. Crinodes guatemalena, sp.n. (Tab. XXV. fig. 2,3.) 
Male. Primaries dark silky-brown, thickly irrorated with darker brown streaks, the outer margin paler brown 
and narrowly edged with black, an indistinct waved black line crossing beyond the middle from the cesta] 
margin to the inner margin and then extending upwards to near the base, a blackish spot at the end of 
the cell; secondaries very pale fawn-colour, broadly bordered with dark brown (still more broadly so at 
the apex), and with a narrow submarginal fawn-coloured band (edged on the outer margin with dark 
brown) from the apex to the anal angle, the fringe pale fawn-colour; the underside of both wings pale 
silky fawn-colour, slightly darker on the outer half of the primaries: head dark brown; thorax above and 
beneath dark brown, the base above fawn-coloured; abdomen above fawn-coloured, becoming darker near 
the anus, the anal tuft of long scales dark reddish-brown, beneath brown; antenne and palpi brown ;
