Four species of this genus are known, three from Central or South America and 
one from an unknown locality.

Hab. Mexico, Dos Arroyos in Guerrero 1000 feet, Atoyac in Vera Cruz, Teapa in 
Tabasco (H. H. Smith); Guavemata, El Jicaro in Vera Paz (Champion); Honpuras 
(Dyson?*); Panama, Chiriqui (£7ibde, in mus. Staudinger)—VENEZUELA, Puerto 
Cabello !. 
This species varies considerably in colour, and the males are always the lightest. 
Our specimen from Guatemala closely resembles Guénée’s figure, but is not quite so 
distinctly marked ; it is, no doubt, the male of Hiibner’s J. lignaris. We have a good 
series of examples before us from the above-mentioned Central-American localities. 
Mr. Smith’s examples were captured between the months of February and May, 
and also in September. 
2. Itonia multilinea.

Walker in his Catalogue included twelve species in this genus, and others have since 
been described by Méschler. All these are from Tropical America or the Antilles 
except one, B. hinna, Geyer; the latter is from Georgia, and is referred by Grote in 
his ‘ Check List’ to the genus Zrama, Harv. Four are now enumerated from Central 
America, three of which are described as new.
