GONITIS —BARYDIA. 339 
1. Gonitis editrix. 
-Gonitis editrir, Guén. Sp. gén. des Lép. vi. p. 404, Noct. t. 11. £51; Walk. Cat. xill. p. 998’; 
Herr.-Schiff. Corr.-Blatt zool.-min. Ver. Regensb. 1868, p. 178 (sep. copy, p. 16)*. 
Gonitis fractifera, Walk. Cat. xiii. p. 998 *. 
Gonitis cosmioides, Walk. Cat. xiii. p. 1000°. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hoge, M. Trujillo), Atoyac in Vera Cruz, Teapa in Tabasco 
(H. H. Smith); Guatemata, San Isidro 1600 feet (Champion); Honpuras*; Panama, 
Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion), Chiriqui (Arcé).—CoLomBia '? ; 
VENEZUELA *; Ecuapor; Braziu; ANTILLES !2, San Domingo 1, Cuba® #°. 
This insect varies very much in colour. I cannot detect any reason for retaining 
G. fractifera and G. cosmioides, Walk., as distinct ; they are nothing but slight varieties 
of G. editria. 
2. Gonitis reversa. 
Gonitis reversa, Walk. Cat. xxxili. p. 861°. 
_ Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hoge); Guatemata, Zapote (Champion); Costa Rica, Volcan 
de Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (Rogers); Panama, Chiriqui (Arcé, Ribbe).—Braziu}. 
The type of this species is in the late Mr. Saunders’s collection, now in the Oxford 
Museum. The specimens before me vary considerably, both in colour and size; the 
white discal spot is in some specimens obsolete, and in others very faint. Central- 
American examples are smaller and darker than those from Brazil. We have received 
a specimen of this insect from Dr. Staudinger under the name of G. humeralis, Guén. ; 
this name, so far as I am aware, being an unpublished one. 
3. Gonitis combinans. 
Gonitis combinans, Walk. Cat. xiii. p. 1001". 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 to 4000 feet (Champion).—Inp1a and 
CEYLON }. | 
The single specimen received from Chiriqui agrees perfectly with those from India 
and Ceylon in the National Museum. 
Subfam. AMPHIPY RINE. 
BARYDIA. | 
Barydia, Guénée, Sp. gén. des Lép. vi. p. 409 (1852); Walker, Cat. xiii. p. 1012; Butler, Trans. 
Ent. Soc. Lond. 1879, p. 37. 
Guénée included one species only, B. dufo, Guén., from Cayenne, in this genus, 
Butler subsequently adding Phalena Noctua japeta, Cram. (Pap. Exot. iv. t. 346. f. G), 
to it. We have now to notice a third species, which is here described. All three are 
inhabitants of South or Central America.
