SAFIA.—YRIAS. 347 
figured by Cramer; Walker also included in it two additional species from the 
same country, whence various others have since been recorded by Méschler. One of 
these species is now known to inhabit the State of Panama, and I now describe another 
from the same State. 
1. Safia celia.

feet (Champion).—Gutana °, Surinam !?° ; Amazons, Rio Trombetas ¢. 
2. Safia enia, sp. n. (Tab. XXXII. fig. 5.) 
Primaries dark brown, banded from the inner margin to about the middle of the wing with three dark brown 
marks, and with a large dark brown patch shaded with bluish-grey on the costal margin near the apex, 
and a row of minute brown spots extending from the apex to the anal angle; secondaries dark brown, 
the outer margin broadly bordered with pale brown, and with a submarginal row of small brown spots ; 
the fringe of both wings dark brown; the underside pale dusky-brown, with two faint brown lines 
crossing each wing: head, thorax, and abdomen dark brown, the anal tuft pale brown, the antenne, 
palpi, and legs blackish-brown, the abdomen with a tuft of deep black scales at the base. The female 
similar to the male, but very much darker in colour. Expanse, ¢ 2, 1? inch. 
Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Ridse, in mus. Staudinger). 
This species is allied to S. celia, but very differently marked. 
YRIAS. 
Yrias, Guénée, Sp. gén. des Lép. vii. p. 21 (1852) ; Walker, Cat. xiii. p. 1081. 
‘Three species, one from the Antilles and two from Tropical South America, were 
included in this genus by Guénée and Walker; and others from South America have 
subsequently been added to it by Méschler and Felder. ‘'wo are now enumerated 
from Central America.
