5. Ephyrodes bipunctata. 
Thermesia bipunctata, Walk. Cat. xxxiii. p. 1048* (apud Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1879, p. 62). 
Hab. Mexico, Venta de Zopilote in Guerrero 2800 feet (H. H. Smith), Paso de 
San Juan (Schaus); Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (Rogers); Panama, 
Chiriqui (Ribbe).— Amazons, Ega !. 
Mexican specimens are greyer than any of the others we have seen. 
FREILLA, gen. nov. 
Male. Body long and slender, extending considerably beyond the wings; palpi broad, ascending above the 
head, the third joint long, almost the length of the second; antenne slender, slightly pectinated ; legs 
stout; primaries long and rather narrow, the outer margin slightly concave to the middle and thence to 
the anal angle very oblique ; secondaries much dentated from the apex to the anal angle. Female. Body 
considerably shorter than in the male, hardly extending beyond the hind wings; the palpi smaller and 
more slender ; the antenne simple. 
Two species from Central America are referred to this new genus, which is perhaps 
nearest allied to Ephyrodes. 
1. Freilla variabilis, sp.n. (Tab. XX XIII. fig. 19, ¢.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries pinkish-fawn-colour, palest near the base; the primaries with two or three 
white streaks along the costal margin, and crossed by several faint reddish lines; the secondaries with a 
dark central line extending from the costal to the inner margin, below which are two rows of reddish- 
brown spots, and with two small dark brown dots at the end of the cell ; the fringe of both wings reddish- 
brown: head, and the thorax and abdomen in great part, pinkish-fawn-colour, the base of the thorax and 
of the abdomen fawn-colour, the anal tuft yellowish-brown, the antenne and legs brown. ‘The female is 
similar to the male, but very much duller in colour. Expanse, g 13, 2 14 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith); Guatemata, Las Mercedes 3000 feet, 
Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 feet, Zapote, Panima in Vera Paz (Champion); Panama, 
Chiriqui (Arcé, Ribbe), Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
Apparently a common insect in Mexico and Guatemala. It is extremely variable in 
colour. Our figure is taken from a bright-coloured male specimen captured by Mr. 
Smith at Teapa in February 1888. 
2. Freilla humeralis, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIII. fig. 20.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries greyish-brown, thickly irrorated with grey scales; the primaries crossed by 
four indistinct waved brown lines (the fourth from the base reddish-brown), and with a spot in the cell 
and one at the end of the cell blackish-brown, the outer margin near the apex dark brown; the secondaries 
with a black dot at the end of the cell, and crossed below the middle by two rows of reddish-brown spots ; 
the fringe of both wings reddish-brown ; the underside much the same as above, but slightly paler in 
colour: head, thorax, and abdomen above and beneath greyish-brown, the palpi, antenne, and legs darker 
brown, the anal tuft yellowish-brown. The female is generally paler in colour than the male, and has 
the spot at the end of the cell on the primaries usually more distinct. Expanse 2 inches. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith); Guaremaa, San Isidro 1600 feet, 
Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 feet (Champion); Panama, Chiriqui (Arcé, Ribdde), 
Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion).
