VALERIA. 
Valeria (Géermar), Stephens, Ill. Brit. Ent., Haust. iii. p. 22 (1829); Guénée, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 
vii. p. 121 (1838) ; Walker, Cat. xi. p. 529. 
In our country this genus is represented by three species, two of which are described 
as new. 
1. Valeria beryllus. 
Valeria beryllus, Guén. Sp. gén. des Lép. vi. p. 51, t. 8. f. 7*; Walk. Cat. xi. p. 53817. 
Hab. Guatemaa, Cerro Zunil 4000 to 5000 feet (Champion) ; Panama, Volcan de 
Chiriqui 2000 to 3060 feet (Champion).—Braziu ! 2. 
Guénée’s figure of V. beryllus is not a good one, but I have no doubt that our 
Central-American examples are referable to this species. 
2. Valeria laches, sp.n. (Tab. XXVII. fig. 20.) 
Primaries reddish-brown, with the costal and inner margins pale fawn-colour, and several irregular green 
markings crossing the wing from the costal to the inner margin, the outer part of the wing speckled 
with greyish scales; secondaries glossy reddish-fawn-colour, palest at the base, the fringe yellowish; 
the underside of both wings of a uniform glossy pinkish-brown: head, thorax, and tegule dark 
reddish-brown ; abdomen yellowish-fawn-colour, becoming reddish at the anus; antenne dark brown; 
legs brown. Expanse 2 inches. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
One specimen only of this fine species was sent. V. laches has no near known ally. 
3. Valeria uscana, sp.n. (Tab. XXVII. fig. 23.) 
Primaries greenish-brown marked with darker brown, with a black dotted line bordered on the outer side with 
pinkish-grey crossing the wing beyond the middle from the costal to the inner margin, and some 
black streaks near the base and along the costal margin, the marking at the end of the cell yellowish 
bordered with pale green, the fringe greenish-brown ; secondaries brownish-black, whitish at the base and 
inner margin, the fringe greenish-yellow ; the underside uniform pale glossy brown, the secondaries with 
a brown line crossing below the middle from the costal to the inner margin: head, thorax, and 
abdomen greenish- brown, the abdomen rather paler than the thorax ; antenne and legs brown. Expanse 
2 inches. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet, Rio Sucio (Rogers). 
Numerous examples. V. wscana closely resembles Hadena auriplena, Walk., from 
North India, and also H. gnoma, Butl., from Japan. 
EUPLEXIA. 
Euplexia, Stephens, Ill. Brit. Ent., Haust. iii. p. 3 (1829); Guénée, Sp. gén. des Lép. vi. p. 67; 
Walker, Cat. xi. p. 542. 
This genus is represented in Europe, North, Central, and South America, Africa, and 
Australia.
