H. subcinerascens, Walk., without doubt, belongs to Capnodes and not to Hypenaria 
(=Aypernaria, Walk.) ; it is allied to C. anyr, Guén. Chiriqui specimens differ from 
those from the other localities in being slightly brighter in colour, and more shaded 
with dark brown on the underside of the secondaries.

Domingo?/. 
This species varies considerably, not only in size but in colour. The type of Thermesia 
bipustulata, Walk., is now in my own collection ; it is not separable from C. sterope. 
According to Méschler, Cramer’s figures represent two species, but in this I do not 
agree with him, the large series of specimens before me showing every grade from one 
to the other. 
9. Capnodes lacteigera. 
Capnodes lacteigera, Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1879, p. 70°. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion).—Amazons, Rio Negro 1. 
Our numerous Chiriqui specimens agree well with Butler’s type in the National 
Museum. C. dira, Feld. & Rogenh., from Venezuela, is very closely allied to C. 
lacteigera. 
10. Capnodes laranda, sp. n. 
Primaries pale brown, crossed by three very indistinct darker brown lines, and with two white streaks on the 
costal margin ; secondaries brown, crossed by indistinct darker brown lines, and with a black dot at the 
end of the cell; the underside pale brown, both wings crossed by indistinct brown lines and with a black
