Polyphlenis respondens, Walk. Cat. xv. p. 17207. . 
Hab. Mexico, near the city (Hége); Honpuras 1.—Braziu}; Trinipap. 
A specimen from Trinidad in my collection is darker in colour than the one we have 
received from Mexico, but in all other respects they agree with each other. 
HADENA. 
Hadena, Guénée, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. vii. p. 213 (1838) ; Walker, Cat. xi. p. ‘558. 
A very large number of species have been placed in Hadena by Guénée, Walker, and 
others; and doubtless when some of these are better known and their earlier stages 
described, the genus will have to be divided. 
1. Hadena psittacus. 
Mamestra (Noctua) psittacus, Herr.-Schaff. Samml. aussereur. Schmett. p. 80, f. 216. 
Hadena psittacus, Walk. Cat. xi. p. 589°. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hége); Guatemata, San Gerénimo (Champion); Costa Rica, 
Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (Rogers).— VENEZUELA}. 
Our specimens agree perfectly with Herr.-Schaffer’s figure; the Costa Rican example 
is the most richly coloured. 
2. Hadena toxaridia, sp.n. (Tab. XXVII. fig. 25.) 
Primaries dark olive-brown crossed by narrow black lines, with a wide greenish band crossing the wing near 
the base from the costal to the inner margin, the inner edge of the band narrowly bordered with white, 
a large greenish spot at the end of the cell becoming whitish on the outer side, a marginal band of 
greenish-white spots extending from the apex to the anal angle, and along the outer margin a series of 
small black dots, the fringe greenish-white with black points; secondaries blackish-brown, becoming 
whitish at the base, the fringe grey; the underside of both wings greyish-brown, each crossed by an 
indistinct pale waved line: head and thorax greenish-brown, the tegule and the hinder part of the thorax
