428 HETEROCERA. 
Walker states that the male of this species is like Hormisa absorptalis, Walk., from 
the United States, in structure. The specimen in the National Collection is the only 
one we have seen.

We have received examples of both sexes of this insect from Mexico, captured in 
the months of February and May, 1888, by Mr. Herbert Smith. The males have a 
tuft of pale yellowish hairs on the abdominal margin of the secondaries, the insect 
thus differing from the typical Hypena. Walker’s type of H. megaspila, a female, is now 
in my own collection; it does not differ from the same sex of H. pilosalis. Guénée 
also described the female under a different name. A Mexican specimen is figured. 
5. Hypena andraca, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIV. fig. 7.) 
Primaries pinkish-brown, with a large V-shaped dark brown mark about the middle of the costal margin 
edged on both sides with a pale narrow line, the outer margin from the apex to the middle of the inner 
margin ‘broadly banded with brown, the fringe dark brown; secondaries dull dark brown, the fringe 
slightly paler in colour ; the underside of both wings uniformly pale greyish-brown, without markings of 
any kind: head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, palpi, and legs dark brown. LExpanse 13 inch. 
Hab. Guatemaua, Las Mercedes 3000 feet, Cerro Zunil 4000 to 5000 feet, Volcan de 
Atitlan 2500 to 3500 feet (Champion). 
Allied to H. pilosalis. but very different in colour ; it shows very little variation in 
marking. <A specimen from the Volcan de Atitlan is figured. 
6. Hypena lua, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIV. fig. 8.) 
Primaries pale brown, with a dark brown almost circular mark edged with pale brown near the apex, a large 
‘dark brown marking on the inner margin about the middle—extending to the base but not quite reaching 
it, and across the wing almost to the costal margin—edged with yellowish-white, and two minute black 
points, edged with yellow on the outer margin, above the anal angle; secondaries dark brown; the fringe 
of both wings brown ; the underside of both wings pale brown, the secondaries crossed from the costal to 
the inner margin by a dark brown line: head and thorax pale brown, the antenna, palpi, legs, and abdo- 
men dark brown. Expanse 1 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, State of Durango (forrer); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 
feet (Champion). 
Not closely allied to any species of the genus known to us. A Chiriqui specimen is 
figured.
