BLOSYRIS.—BRUJAS. 365 
we have not, however, seen a specimen so pale as represented by Perty. From Central 
America we have only received two specimens, one from Mexico and one from 
Chiriqui.

A specimen captured by Mr. Champion and another in Dr. Staudinger’s collection, 
both from Chiriqui, are all we have seen from our region of this species; it is not 
uncommon in Tropical South America, whence we possess a good series of examples. 
5. Blosyris turdipennis.

Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Ribbe, in mus. Staudinger).—Gutana, Cayenne ! 2, 
We include this species upon the authority of an example from Chiriqui in Dr. 
Staudinger’s collection. It is not improbable that B. turdipennis may prove to be not 
distinct from Phalena Noctua scolopacea, Cram.

Fourteen species were placed in this genus by Walker, all of them from Tropical 
America or the Antilles; and others haye since been described by various authors. 
We have now to enumerate six species from Central America. | 
1, Brujas infans. 
Bruyjas infans, Guén. Sp. gén. des Lép. vii. p. 1417; Walk. Cat. xiv. p. 1250?. 
Hab. Mexico !?. 
This species was described from three very faded specimens. Mons. C. Oberthiir 
informs me that the types are not to be found, and that they were most probably 
destroyed during the later years of Guénée’s life, when his collection was much 
neglected.
