HYPENA. 431 
yellowish-brown, the fringe pale brown; secondaries pale blackish-brown, the marginal line black, the 
fringe pale brown ; the underside brown, with darker brown lines crossing the wings, these lines more 
distinct in some specimens than in others; head, thorax, palpi, antenne, and legs dark brown, the 
abdomen pale brown. Expanse 1? inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalisco (Schumann), Coatepec (Brooks); Guatemata, San Gerénimo 
(Champion). 
Varies considerably in colour, the Mexican specimens being the darkest. Our figure 
is taken from a Guatemalan example. 
15. Hypena andria, sp.n. (Tab. XXXV. fig. 4, ¢.) 
Male. Primaries pale purplish-brown, with a wide dark brown band across the middle, a waved dark brown 
line crossing from the costal to the inner margin close to the base, a white dot in the middle of the cell, 
and a submarginal row of very small brown dots extending from the costal margin close to the apex to 
the anal angle, the fringe dark brown; secondaries dusky brown; the underside of both wings pale brown, 
the secondaries crossed beyond the middle by two dark brown lines: head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, 
palpi, and legs dark brown. The female darker than the male, and without the white spot in the cell of 
the primaries. Expanse, ¢ 2,14 inch. 
Hab. Guatemaa, Cerro Zunil 4000 to 5000 feet, Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 
feet, San Geronimo (Champion). 
/;In Guatemala this species appears to be pretty common. ‘The numerous speci- 
mens obtained show a considerable amount of variation in colour and in the 
distinctness of the markings ; in some of the males the white spot on the primaries is 
almost obsolete. 
16. Hypena levana, sp. n. (Tab. XXXV. fig. 5.) 
Primaries dark brown, with a dark reddish-brown marking extending over the wing from the middle of the 
costal margin (somewhat in the shape of a large Y, but very much dentated on the outer side), a pale 
greyish-brown line crossing near the base from the costal margin to the middle of the inner margin, a very 
indistinct submarginal line extending from near the apex to the anal angle, and a slightly lighter brown 
marking close to the apex, the fringe dark reddish-brown ; secondaries uniformly dusky brown, with the 
marginal line and the fringe paler ; the underside of both wings pale brown, slightly irrorated with a few 
’ greyish scales: head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, palpi, and legs dark brown. Expanse 13 inch. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Rio Sucio (Rogers). 
One example. A species quite unlike any other of the genus known to us.
