CLITIS. 
Chitis, Walker, Cat. xii. p. 961 (1852). 
This genus was established by Walker for the reception of Phaleena Noctua proser- 
pina, Cram., an insect inhabiting Guiana. It chiefly differs from Déamuna in having 
shorter and broader primaries and longer and more slender antenne. From Central 
America we have received one species which we now describe. |
