346 HETEROCERA. 
Our Sonoran specimens agree with others from Texas, so named in the Grote 
collection now in the National Museum. 
YPSIA. 
Ypsia, Guénée, Sp. gén. des Lép. vii. p. 16 (1852) ; Walker, Cat. xui. p. 1073; Grote, List of 
North-American Moths, p. 42 (1882). 
Two species from North America were included in this genus by Guénée, Y. wrugi- 
nosa, Guén., and Y. undularis (Drury) ; the first-named, of which we have received an 
example from Mexico, has subsequently proved to be only a variety of the latter. An 
additional species is now added from Central America. 
1. Ypsia undularis. 
Noctua undularis, Drury, Ill. Exot. Ins. i. p. 19, t. 9. £4"; Westw. ed. Drury, i. p. 19, t.9. f. 19. 
Ypsia undularis, Guén. Sp. gén. des Lép. vi. p. 18°; - Walk. Cat. xiii. p. 1074°; Grote, List of 
North-American Moths, p. 42 (1882). 
Ypsia eruginosa, Guén. Sp. gén. des Lép. vii. p. 17°; Walk. Cat. xiii. p. 1074’. 
Ypsia undularis, var. eruginosa, Grote, List of North-American Moths, p. 42. 
Ypsia umbripennis, Grote, Canad. Ent. vill. p. 109°. 
Ypsia undularis, var. umbripennis, Grote, List of North-American Moths, p. 42. 
Hab. Nortu America 2456, New York !°.—Mexico, Jalisco (Schumann). 
The single specimen received from Western Mexico agrees perfectly with others 
from North America in my own collection. 
2. Ypsia lineata, sp. n. 
Primaries and secondaries dark blackish-brown, much the same in colour as in Y. undularis, crossed by black 
lines, which are placed considerably nearer the base than in that species, the primaries with several very 
minute white spots at the end of the cell, on the costal margin near the base, and at the anal angle, the 
primaries and secondaries each with a row of minute white spots extending from the apex to the anal 
angle; the underside of both wings dark brown: head, thorax, and abdomen dark blackish-brown ; 
antennz, palpi, and legs dark brown. Expanse 1? inch. 
Hab. Guaremata, Senahu and San Gerénimo in Vera Paz (Champion); Panama, 
Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
It is quite possible that this insect may prove to be yet another form of Y. undularis, 
from which it chiefly differs in having the lines on the primaries and secondaries placed 
nearer the base; it is also considerably smaller. 
Subfam. HY POGRAMMINA. 
SAFIA. 
Safia, Guénée, Sp. gén. des Lép. vii. p. 20 (1852); Walker, Cat. xii. p. 1079. 
This genus was founded by Guénée upon an insect from Guiana described and
