This species is very closely allied to P. cupentia, from which it chiefly differs in its 
much redder colour and more distinct grey patch at the apex of the primaries. We 
have received seven fine specimens from our region, and they do not show any sign of 
variation. 
4. Perigea epopea.

Our Panama specimens are paler and whiter in colour than Cramer’s figure G, but in 
other respects they agree with it. 
5. Perigea hippia, sp.n. (Tab. XXVII. fig. 3.) 
Primaries greyish-white, with brown markings along the costal margin, a brown patch near the base extending 
from the costal margin to near the inner margin (but not reaching it), beyond which at the end of the 
cell is a wide brown streak, and a large reddish-brown patch bordered with greyish scales on the outer 
margin, the fringe dark brown; secondaries pale greyish-brown, darkest near the apex and outer margin, 
the fringe greyish-white; the underside pale brown with a reddish tinge: head and front of the thorax 
reddish-brown, the rest of the thorax and the basal part of the abdomen silvery-white, the other part of 
the abdomen yellowish-white ; antenne and palpi dark brown ; legs greyish-brown. Expanse 13 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
One specimen. JP. hippia is allied to P. epopea, Cram., of which it is just possible 
it may be an extreme variety ; but the markings are so entirely different in colour that 
it seems advisable to name the Chiriqui insect.
