426 HETEROCERA. 
antenne greyish, rather deeply pectinated. The female similar to the male, but slightly lighter in colour 
and with simple antenne. Expanse, 5 17, 9 144, inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet, Cuernavaca in Morelos (H. H. Smith), 
Jalapa (M. Trujillo). 
Mr. Herbert Smith met with this insect in the months of June and August, 1888 
the specimens from Omilteme are considerably the largest. ‘The species is allied to 
G. abditalis. A male example from Omilteme is figured. 
3. Gustiana limeza, sp. n. (Tab. XXXV. fig. 2, 3.) 
Male. Primaries pale greyish-brown, crossed from the costal to the inner margin by four faint brown waved lines 
(the first near the base and the other three beyond the middle), a row of minute black dots extending 
from the apex to the anal angle, the fringe dark greyish-brown ; secondaries uniformly greyish-brown, 
the fringe rather darker : head, thorax, and abdomen greyish-brown, the underside of the latter and the 
legs yellowish-brown, the palpi dark brown. The female similar to the male but palerin colour. Expanse, 
3d 2,1 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Cuernavaca in Morelos, Amula in Guerrero 6000 feet (H. H. Smith). 
A small species allied to G. liditina, from which it is at once distinguished by the 
different position of the bands on the primaries. 
Subfam. HY PHENINAE.

This genus is represented in Central America by a single species, a specimen of which 
is contained in Dr. Staudinger’s collection. 
1. Pterhemia ameriola, sp.n. (Tab. XXXV. fig. 3, ¢.) 
Male. Primaries dark brown, paler near the base, an indistinct narrow waved brown line crossing the wing 
near the base from the costal to the inner margin, a round yellowish-white dot in the middle of the cell 
and a similarly-coloured fine waved line crossing from the costal margin near the apex to the inner 
margin, the outer margin broadly banded with pale brown, an elongated dark brown spot close to the 
apex; secondaries pale brown, darkest on the inner margin, several indistinct yellowish-white lines 
partly crossing the wing from the anal angle; the underside uniform pale dusky brown, both wings 
crossed beyond the middle by a yellowish-white line somewhat broken into spots: head, thorax, and 
abdomen pale brown, the anus yellowish; antenne brown; palpi and legs dark brown. Expanse 
1,3, inch. 
Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Ridbe, in mus. Staudinger). 
Allied to P. multilatalis, Guén., from Cayenne, but entirely different in colour. 
We are indebted to Dr. Staudinger for kindly lending us the specimen to describe and 
figure.
