276 HETEROCERA. 
One specimen, in very poor condition. This seems to be allied to Celena esopis, but 
of this we cannot be certain, the primaries being so much rubbed. 
7. Celena minuta, sp.n. (Tab. XXVII. fig. 2.) 
Primaries dark reddish-brown, the outer margin from the apex to the anal angle broadly bordered with pale 
pinkish-brown, a black spot at the end of the cell, two minute black lines crossing the wing from the 
costal margin to the inner margin, and several pale pinkish-brown spots close to the base; secondaries 
pale brown, paler at the base, the fringe fawn-colour: head, front of the thorax, and tegule pinkish- 
white, the base of the thorax and the abdomen dark brown, the anal tuft fawn-colour ; antenne and legs 
dark brown. Expanse ? inch. 
Hab. GuaTemaua, Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 feet (Champion). 
A beautiful little species, of which only a single specimen has been received. 
C. minuta is very distinct from all the species of Celena we have seen, and is one of 
the smallest known members of the genus. 
PERIGEA. 
Perigea, Guénée, Sp. gén. des Lép. v. p. 225 (1852) ; Walker, Cat. x. p. 270. 
Condica, Walker, Cat. ix. p. 239. 
This genus has a very wide range, and is represented in most parts of the globe. 
The numerous species referred to it by authors are mostly of a very dull colour; no 
less than thirteen are known to me from Central America, three of which are here 
described as new. 
1. Perigea infelix, 
Perigea infelixz, Guén. Sp. gén. des Lép. v. p. 229'; Walk. Cat. x. p. 271’. 
Hab. Norta America, Florida! ?.—GuvatEMata, Cerro Zunil 4000 to 5000 feet, 
Pantaleon 1700 feet (Champion); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet 
(Champion). 
Our example from Pantaleon is considerably darker in colour than any of those we 
have seen from other localities, and it also has the hind wings whiter at the base; but 
the markings agree well with those of the other specimens before me. 
2. Perigea cupentia. 
Phalena cupentia, Cram. Pap. Exot. ii. p. 103, t. 252. f. E’. 
Cenipeta cupentia, Hubn. Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 260. 
Bacula (?) cupentia, Walk. Cat. ix. p. 148°. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion).—Gutana, 
Surinam !2; Braziu. 
Our Panama specimens agree well with Cramer’s figure and also with others from 
Brazil in my own collection. Examples of this species have been forwarded to us from 
Dr. Staudinger under the name of Agrotis mizta.
