HEMICERAS.—COMIDAVA. 251 
5. Hemiceras sigula. 
Hemiceras sigula, Guén. Spécies général des Lép. vi. p. 884°; Walk. Cat. xii. p. 973. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 4000 to 6000 feet (Champion).—Braziu! 2. 
One specimen of this species was sent from Chiriqui. 
6. Hemiceras violascens. 
Hemiceras violascens, Guén. Spécies général des Lép. vi. p. 3847; Walk. Cat. xii. p. 973°. 
Hab. Costa .Rica, Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (Rogers); Panama, Volean de Chiriqui 
2000 to 3000 feet (Champion).—Braziu! 2. 
This is the largest of the Central-American species; we have only received one 
example from Costa Rica and one from the State of Panama. 
7. Hemiceras mora, sp. n. 
Male. Primaries pinkish fawn-colour, crossed by two narrow indistinct brown lines (the first close to the base, 
the second beyond the middle and nearest the outer margin), and with an indistinct blackish dot at the 
end of the cell; secondaries uniform brownish fawn-colour, the fringe much paler; the underside of the 
primaries pale fawn-colour, that of the secondaries silky-white: head white, the thorax reddish fawn-colour, 
the abdomen dusky brown; antenne dark brown; legs pale brown. Female similar to the male, but 
duller in colour. Expanse, 14 inch; 9,13 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa(Schaus); Guatemaua, Cerro Zunil 4000 to 5000 feet (Champion). 
Both sexes of this species were sent. H. mora is allied to H. violascens, but consi- 
derably paler in colour, and with the bands more distinct and differently placed; at the 
same time it is just possible that the insect may be one of those described by Guénée, 
several of which I have not seen, and cannot make out with any certainty from his 
descriptions. 
8. Hemiceras alba. 
Hemiceras alba, Walk. Cat. xxxiii. p. 8517. 
Hab. Mexico, Paso de San Juan (Schaus); Honpuras (Dyson !).—CoLomsia, Bogota 
(mus. D.). 
COMIDAVA. 
Comidava, Walker, Cat. xxvi. p. 1695. 
Two species from Tropical South America were placed in this genus by Walker; one 
of these also inhabits our country. Comidava is placed by its describer in the Geome- 
tride ; it is, however, undoubtedly very closely allied to the genus Hemiceras, Guénée, 
which I believe is rightly placed in the Notodontide. 
1. Comidava obliquilinea. 
Comidava obliquilinea, Walk. Cat. xxvi. p. 16957. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Schaus); GuatemaLa, Las Mercedes 3000 feet, Cerro Zunil 
4000 feet (Champion)—VENEZUELA!; Braziu}.
