This species varies slightly: among the large series of specimens before me several 
agree with Felder and Rogenhofer’s figure of C. uncinata, but I am unable to separate 
them from C. imitans, Walk. Mr. Smith captured one female example of this species 
in February 1888; it is considerably duller in colour than the male. The locality for 
C. exhilarans was unknown to its author 3.

Dr. Staudinger’s specimen is the only one we have seen from our region; it agrees 
fairly with Walker’s type, now in the British Museum. The locality for the latter is 
given as “ Limas” J,

There is a single example of this species from Chiriqui in Dr. Staudinger’s collection ; 
it agrees with numerous others we have received from Tropical South America.

This seems to be a variable insect, judging from the specimens before us. 
6. Capnodes lara, sp.n. (Tab. XX XIII. fig. 23.) 
Primaries and secondaries brown, palest at the base, both wings crossed from the costal to the inner margin 
by two waved rows of minute yellow spots and with the outer margins edged with minute black dots, 
the fringe brown; the underside considerably paler in colour: head, thorax, and abdomen brown, the 
legs pale brown ; the palpi brown, the third joint tipped with black ; the antenne dark brown, Expanse

Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Ribbe, in mus. Staudinger). 
One specimen. Allied to C. anyx, Guén.
