286 HETEROCERA. 
16. Agrotis orophila. 
Brotis orophila, Geyer in Hiibner’s Zutr. Samml. exot. Schmett. 5, p. 7. ff. 809, 810 
Agrotis orophila, Walk. Cat. xi. p. 736°. 
Hab. Mexico!, Coatepec (Brooks); Costa Rica, Rio Sucio (Rogers). 
Our specimens are of a browner colour than Geyer’s figures, but in other respects 
they agree fairly well with them. 
17. Agrotis repleta.

fab. Mexico (Sallé*). 
Unknown to me. 
18. Agrotis semidolens. (Tab. XXVII. fig. 13.) 
Agrotis semidolens, Walk. Cat. xi. p. 789°. 
Hab. Mexico, Coatepec (Brooks); Guatemata, Coban (Champion); PANAMA, Bugaba 
(Champion).—CotomBia, Bogota!; Amazons}, 
Our specimens agree with the one in the late Mr. Saunders’s collection now in the 
Oxford Museum, which I believe to be the type. The example from Bogota in the 
National Collection is the darkest I have seen. 
19. Agrotis splendens, sp.n. (Tab. XXVIL. fig. 15.) 
Primaries greyish-green mottled with brown, a large white spot at the apex and several white patches along 
the inner margin, a round fawn-coloured spot edged with white below the cell, beyond which is a narrow 
black line, a black dot edged with white close to the base of the wing, and a submarginal row of minute 
black dots edged with white on the inner side extending from near the apex to the anal angle, the fringe 
greenish-grey ; secondaries dusky hyaline-white, brownish at the apex and round the outer margin, the 
fringe whitish; the underside of the primaries dark brown, that of the secondaries the same colour as 
above but crossed by two rows of dark brown spots: head, collar, and the front of the thorax reddish- 
brown, the rest of the thorax and the tegule greyish-brown speckled with green scales; abdomen dark 
brown, the anus pale fawn-colour; antenne and legs brown. Expanse 2 inches. 
Hab. Paxama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet ( Champion).—Ecuapor. 
This fine insect was first received by me from Mr. Buckley, who obtained a very large 
series of specimens at Sarayacu ; these are in all respects similar to those from our 
country. The figure is taken from a Panama specimen. 
TIRACOLA. 
Tiracola, Moore, P. Z.S. 1881, p. 851; Descr. Ind. Lep. Ins. Coll. Atkinson, p. 117. 
This genus is allied to Agrotis, but very distinct.

Agrotis plagiata, Walk. Cat. xi. p. 7401. 
Tiracola plagiata, Moore, P. Z. 8. 1881, p. 8522; Descr. Ind. Lep. Ins. Coll. Atkinson, p. 117°.
