AMAZONS 2, Paré}, 
Central-American specimens agree with Walker’s type in the National Collection, 
and also with Felder and Rogenhofer’s figure of Peosina thalia; but they are slightly 
darker in colour than P. thalia. 
SYPNA. 
Sypna, Guénée, Sp. gén. des Lép. vil. p. 144 (1852); Walker, Cat. xiv. p. 1260. 
Walker included four species in this genus, and many others have since been 
described by Butler and Moore, all of them from the warmer parts of the Eastern 
Hemisphere. We have now to add one species from Central America. 
1. Sypna #xonia, sp.n. (Tab. XXXII. fig. 3.) 
Primaries dark reddish-brown irrorated with black scales, crossed in the middle by a wide paler brown band 
(which becomes still wider on the costal margin, and has its outer edge very uneven), and with a narrow 
indistinct pale line crossing from the costal to the inner margin, a pale brown spot edged with black close 
to the anal angle, and a submarginal row of black dots which extends from the apex to the anal angle; 
secondaries dark brown, with some blackish-brown marks at the anal angle and a submarginal row 
of black dots; the fringe of both wings dark brown; the underside greyish-brown irrorated with black 
scales, a faint fawn-coloured spot at the end of the cell on the primaries: head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, 
and legs dark brown. LExpanse 23 inches. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (/’. D. G., Hoge). 
Three examples, two captured by Mr. Godman and one by Herr Hége. 
RAMPHIA. 
Ramphia, Guénée, Sp. gén. des Lép. vil. p. 142 (1852) ; Walker, Cat. xiv. p. 1258. 
This genus is allied to Letis, from which it may be at once distinguished by the 
pectinated antenne in the male and by the shorter and rounder primaries. Guénée 
included in it three species from Tropical South America, and these now prove to be 
forms of one variable insect, which ranges from South Brazil to Yucatan; a fourth 
species was described by Walker, 2. nymphaloides, from the Amazons.
