For the pleasure of adding this species to our list and the type to my collection, I am 
indebted to the kindness of M. Paul Dognin, who has submitted all his Mexican moths 
to me for determination. 
MAGUSA. 
Magusa, Walker, Cat. xi. p. 762 (1857). 
Walker founded this genus upon a single species from San Domingo; Felder and 
Rogenhofer have since added two from Bogota; and several others, undescribed as yet, 
are contained in various collections.
