384 HETEROCERA. 
One specimen of what I believe to be the male of H. nigripalpis was captured on 
the Pacific slope of Guatemala by Mr. Champion; a second example just received from 
Mexico is considerably smaller, but otherwise agrees with it. 
BANIANA. 
Baniana, Walker, Cat. xv. p. 1843 (1858). 
Three species were referred to this genus by its author—one from San Domingo, one 
from Mexico, and one from Hindostan. Euclidia(?) pohli, Feld. & Rogenh., from the 
Amazons, also belongs to it; this is now known to extend into the southern part of 
our region. 
1. Baniana mexicana. 
Baniana mexicana, Walk. Cat. xxxiti. p. 1000'. 
Hab. Mexico, Oaxaca (Sallé, in mus. Brit. 1). 
2. Baniana suggesta. 
Poaphila suggesta, Walk. Cat. xiv. p. 14767. 
Hab. Honpuras (Dyson 3). 
This insect may prove to be not distinct from B. mexicana. 
3. Baniana pohli. 
Euclida (?) pohli, Feld. & Rogenh. Reise der Novara, Lep. t. 117. £.3, Erkl. der Taf.117. no. 3 (fo). 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 4000 feet ( Champion).—Amazons }. 
The two male specimens received from Chiriqui are considerably darker in colour 
than Felder and Rogenhofer’s figure, but they agree with it in the markings of the 
primaries. 
PHURYS. 
Phurys, Guénée, Sp. gén. des Lép. vii. p. 303 (1852); Walker, Cat. xiv. p. 1478. 
Chalciope, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 268 (pars).

enumerated.
