and the head does not seem to be so thickly clothed with hairs. The single specimen 
received has unfortunately lost the antenne, and is considerably damaged about the 
head and thorax: this to some extent may be the cause of the apparent differences. 
Subfam. BRYOPHILIN ZL. 
GRAMMOPHORA. 
Grammophora, Guénée, Sp. gén. des Lép. v. p. 80 (1852) ; Walker, Cat. ix. p. 28. 
Of this genus we have, as yet, only received an example of a single species from our 
country. The three referred to it by Walker are all from North America. 
1. Grammophora chaldera, sp.n. (Tab. X XVI. fig. 5.) 
Primaries reddish-brown mottled witb silvery-white, with a bronzy-green spot at the end of the cell, and 
several indistinct green streaks close to the base; secondaries silky-brownish-white: head, thorax, 
antenne, and legs brown, the abdomen pale brown. Expanse 13 inch. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 feet (Rogers). 
A single worn specimen only. 
Subfam. BOMBY COIN. 
PANTHEA. 
Panthea, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 202 (1816). 
Diphtera, Walker, Cat. ix. p. 31 (pars). 
Two species of this genus inhabit Central America. 
1. Panthea cavillator. 
Diphtera cavillator, Walk. Cat. ix. p. 37°. 
Hab. Merxico!, Jalapa (Hoge). 
The single specimen received agrees well with Walker’s type in the National 
Collection ; the species closely resembles the European P. cenobita. 
2. Panthea pythion, sp.n. (Tab. XXVI. fig. 6.) 
Primaries white, crossed by many waved black lines; secondaries pure white; the underside of both wings 
pure white: head, collar, thorax, and tegule white spotted with black, the abdomen white; antenne 
black. Expanse 2 inches. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 to 4000 feet (Champion). 
Allied to P. cavillator, but very distinct. The numerous waved black lines on the 
primaries are much wider apart, and in some specimens they become very indistinct ; 
and the underside of both wings is pure white. |
