DARGIDA. 
Dargida, Walker, Cat. ix. p. 201 (1856). 
Walker founded this genus upon a single species from Venezuela and Brazil. ‘This 
and six other species, five of which are here described as new, inhabit our region. 
1. Dargida grammivora. 
Dargida grammivora, Walk. Cat. ix. p. 202+. 
Hab. Mexico, Milpas in Durango 5900 feet (Morrer); Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 
6000 to 7000 feet (Logers).—VENEZUELA!; BraziL, Rio Grande!, Rio Janeiro. 
Our specimen from Costa Rica agrees well with Walker’s type in the National 
Collection. Those from Northern Mexico are a little darker in colour, but they do not 
otherwise differ from examples from Rio Janeiro contained in my own collection. 
D. crucifera, Felder, from Luzon, very closely resembles this species. 
2. Dargida singularis. 
Dargida singularis, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1879, p. 227. 
Hab. Muxico, Coatepec (Brooks); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet 
(Champion).—Amazons, Villa Nova de Parentins 1}. 
The single worn specimen we have received from Mexico differs from those from more 
southern localities in being browner in colour and in having the markings fainter ; it is 
possibly a distinct species, but without seeing further material we hesitate to separate 
it. D. singularis very closely resembles Felder’s figure of Phlegetonia(?) bellona (Reise 
der Novara, Lep. t. 112. fig. 1), an insect inhabiting Guiana. 
3. Dargida niphanda. (Tab. XXVI. fig. 14.) 
Primaries pinkish-brown, crossed from the costal margin to the inner margin by two waved black lines, with 
a small green-coloured streak near the base, a short black band along the inner margin close to the 
base (but not touching it), two green spots at the end of the cell, on the inner side of which is a dark 
brown streak extending to the costal margin, a faint waved submarginal line running from the apex to 
the anal angle, and a round dark brown spot on the inner side of this line at the anal angle, the outer 
margin edged with lead-colour, the fringe light and dark brown; secondaries white, broadly bordered 
with brown: head and front of the thorax pinkish-brown, the rest of the thorax and the abdomen pale 
brown, the anus yellowish; antenne, palpi, and legs brown. Expanse 14 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 4000 feet (Champion). 
This handsome species is most nearly allied to D. singularis, Butler, but it is very 
differently marked on the primaries. We have received only one specimen. 
4. Dargida amphion, sp.n. (Tab. X XVI. fig. 15.) 
Primaries dark brown, shaded with purple, the markings resembling those of D. singularis but all much paler 
in colour and more distinct, a pale green spot close to the base on the inner margin, and a marginal row
