340 HETEROCERA. 
1. Barydia severa, sp.n. (Tab. XXX. fig. 27.) 
Primaries dark brown, thickly irrorated with darker brown and cream-coloured scales, with a waved black 
line near the base crossing from the costal to the inner margin, but not reaching it, several small indistinct 
pale lines along the costal margin, a waved black line extending from the inner margin near the apex 
nearly to the costal margin, a large black spot with two cream-coloured dots on the outer side between 
the black line and the outer margin, two cream-coloured dots near the anal angle and one above close to 
the costal margin, and a marginal row of small cream-coloured dots extending from the apex to the anal 
angle, the fringe dark brown; secondaries pale silky brown, thickly irrorated round the outer margin 
with cream-coloured scales, and with a marginal row of small cream-coloured dots, a waved black line 
crossing about one third of the wing from the inner margin just above the anal angle, the black line 
edged with cream-colour on the outer side and becoming very indistinct about the middle of the wing ; 
the underside pale silky brown, shaded with darker brown, but without any defined markings, the 
marginal cream-coloured spots as above: head, thorax, and abdomen dark brown, the abdomen densely 
tufted at the base ; the antenna, palpi, and legs dark brown. Expanse 2? inches. 
Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (22bbe, in mus. Staudinger).—Gutana ( Whitely, in mus. D.). 
Our figure is taken from the Guiana specimen, it being in much better condition 
than the one from Chiriqui in Dr. Staudinger’s collection. 
These examples agree perfectly with each other, allowance being made for the 
difference of condition, one being fresh and the other much worn. JB. severa is not 
very closely allied to B. bufo or B. japeta.

Pheocima, Grote, List of North-American Moths, p. 42 (1882). 
This genus has hitherto only contained a single species from North America; a 
second is now added from the State of Panama. 
1. Pheocyma ilia, sp.n. (Tab. XXXI. fig. 1.) 
Primaries dark brown, thickly irrorated with very fine black lines, and with a greyish spot edged with black 
at the end of the cell, a fine straight black line edged with yellowish-brown crossing the wing near the 
base from the costal to the inner margin, a waved black line, broadly bordered on the outer side with 
yellowish-brown, beyond the middle extending from the costal to the inner margin near the anal angle, 
and a submarginal row of lunular markings, the latter black on the inner side, the fringe dark brown ; 
secondaries dark brown, palest at the base, with a marginal row of small white dots; the underside of 
both wings greyish-brown : head, thorax (except in front), abdomen, and legs dark greyish-brown, the 
collar and the front of the thorax yellowish-brown, the antenne and palpi dark brown. LExpanse 13 
inch. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champzon). 
This species is allied to the North-American P. lunifera, Hiibn., but differs greatly 
in the markings of the primaries; it also resembles the Chilian Alamis polioides, Guén. 
Some specimens are much greyer in colour than others.
