REMIGIA.—NYMBIS. 389 
_ This very common and extremely variable species is found almost everywhere in 
Tropical America. I am quite unable to admit as distinct the numerous so-called 
species described by Walker, hardly two specimens of the large series before me being 
exactly alike. We are indebted to Mons. C. Oberthiir for the loan of the type of 
R. difluens, and are thus enabled to certainly identify Guénée’s species. Mr. Champion 
bred a large number of specimens at Bugaba, Chiriqui. He states that “the larva 
feeds on the rice-plant, to which it is in some seasons very destructive, and forms a 
sort of cocoon by drawing the opposite edges of the leaf together; it remains only a 
short time in the pupa state.” The name Phurys perlata, Walk., is omitted from 
Grote’s ‘ Check-list of North-American Moths. Mr. Smith met with examples of this 
insect in Mexico, between the months of January and October.

This species is only known to us by Felder and Rogenhofer’s figure ; it may be a 
very extreme form of &. diffluens.
