HYPENA. 429 
7. Hypena variabilis, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIV. figg. 9-20.) 
Primaries varying in colour from dark reddish-brown to very dark brown, or from almost black to pale grey, 
usually crossed from the costal to the inner margin by two brown lines (in some specimens these are close 
together, and in others they are wide apart, in several they are wanting altogether or the band nearest 
the base is absent), sometimes pale brown at the base with the outer half very dark in colour, sometimes 
with these colours reversed; secondaries uniformly dark brown ; the fringe of both wings brown, that of 
the primaries varying in colour according to the tint of the wing ; the underside of both wings dull dark 
brown, but not showing the slightest variation in colour in any of the different varieties: head, thorax, 
abdomen, antennz, palpi, and legs dark brown. Expanse 13 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Milpas in Durango 5900 feet (Forrer), Amula 6000 feet, Xucuman- 
atlan 7000 feet, both in Guerrero, Cuernavaca in Morelos (H#. H. Smith); GuatmMata, 
Cerro Zunil 4000 to 5000 feet, Panajachel 5000 feet, Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 
feet, Calderas, Duefias, San Gerdénimo (Champion). 
This species varies to any extent. We have a very large series of specimens before 
us, and cannot in any way separate the different forms or varieties into species. Nearly 
all the examples received from Mr. Herbert Smith were captured in the month of 
August, 1888. We have figured twelve of the most distinct-looking varieties, selected 
from our series of 130 specimens, scarcely two of which are exactly alike. Mr. Cham- 
pion found this insect commonly on the pine-clad slopes of the Chuacus mountains, 
above San Gerénimo; he states that in the daytime it appears to secrete itself amongst 
the fallen pine-needles or under low bushes. 
8. Hypena livia, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIV. fig. 21.) 
Primaries dark reddish-brown, mottled with reddish-brown along the outer margin and at the anal angle, the 
costal margin from the base to the apex blackish-brown, a large subtriangular black mark extending 
from the base across the middle of the wing, the inner margin and fringe reddish-brown ; secondaries 
dull blackish-brown, the fringe pale yellowish-brown ; the underside of both wings pale blackish-browu : 
head, thorax, and abdomen dark brown, the palpi and antenne black, the legs brown. Expanse 
12 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 4000 
to 5000 feet (Champion). 
Allied to H. variabilis, but a larger and differently-shaped insect ; the palpi are also 
longer and more slender. Our figure is taken from the example from the Volcan de 
Chiriqui. 
9. Hypena anemosa, sp. n. (Tab. XXXIV. fig. 22.) 
Primaries pinkish-brown, the costal margin broadly bordered with reddish-fawn-colour, a dark brown streak 
near the apex, the basal half of the wing bronzy-green, the inner margin edged with white, some minute 
black spots near the anal angle; secondaries pale brown; the fringe of both wings brown; the underside 
pale brown, without markings of any kind: head, palpi, and thorax greyish-brown, the abdomen brown, 
the antenne and legs pale brown. Expanse 12 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (M. Trujillo); Guatemaua, Zapote (Champion). 
The Mexican specimen is figured.
