Hab. Guarumata, Cerro Zunil 4000 to 5000 feet, Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 feet 
(Champion). 
A very distinct species, not altogether agreeing in form with Hypena.

Walker's type in the National Collection is in very poor condition ; our examples 
from Chiriqui, are, I believe, females of the same species. In these latter the primaries 
are similar to those of H. jactatalis, Walk., but the secondaries are greyish-white at 
the base (which is not the case in Walker’s type); on the underside the specimens are 
almost identical. H. jactatalis hardly belongs to Hypena, but till more examples are 
obtained it is advisable to retain it in that genus.

Hab. Mexico, State of Vera Cruz (Schaus *). 
Unknown to us. 
METINA, gen. nov. 
Allied to Hypena. Primaries with the costal margin quite straight, the apex pointed, the outer margin 
slightly curved outwards, then receding inwards to the anal angle, which is rounded, the inner margin 
quite straight ; secondaries rather long and broad, rounded at the apex and at the anal angle. Head 
small, thickly clothed with hairs between the eyes; the palpi large, erect, the third joint pointed and 
tufted, with hairs on the upperside. Thorax fairly broad, and thickly clothed with hairs. Abdomen 
slender, with two small erect tufts of hair on the two basal segments, Legs slender and moderately 
long, the anterior and posterior tibia clothed with rather long hairs. The antenne more than half the 
length of the wing, very slender, and sparsely clothed with fine hairs at the base. 
Type Bleptina hirtipalpis, Walker.

This species varies considerably in the depth of colour of the markings. In our 
region it is fairly common. — 
SOTIGENA, gen. nov. 
Primaries with the costal margin nearly straight to the apex, which is rounded, the outer margin slightly 
angular, the inner margin straight, and with a very distinct fringed lobe close to the anal angle (similar 
to that present in many of the species of Notodontide), the discoidal cell long (almost two-thirds the
