Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Ribbe).—Brazin!; Amazons}, 
Two specimens received from Chiriqui seem to belong to this species. 
5. Macrodes leyna, sp. n. (Tab. XXXIV. fig. 4.) 
Primaries and secondaries pale purplish-brown, darkest towards the costal margins and at the base; the 
markings very much like those of WM. myodes, Feld. & Rogenh., but not so distinct, the central band being 
of a yellowish-brown colour ; the costal margin of the primaries narrowly edged with pale fawn-colour : 
head, thorax, and abdomen purplish-brown, the anal tuft yellowish; antenne and legs pale brown. 
Expanse 14 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Ridde, in mus. Staudinger). 
Allied to M. declinata, Méschl., from which it may be at once distinguished by the 
narrower primaries and the entirely different colour. We are indebted to Dr. Staud- 
inger for lending this insect to us for description.

Ametris, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 303 (1816); Guénée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 387 ;

Two species were placed in this genus by Guénée, one of these being of very doubtful 
value; both are from Tropical America.
