MENECINA. 
_ Menecina, Walker, Cat. xv. p. 1585 (1858). 
Blanona, Walker, Cat. xxxili. p. 1105 (1865). 
Walker founded this genus upon a male insect from Ega, and subsequently described 
it under another name from a specimen of the same sex from the same locality. 
Hydrillodes (2) tunicula, Feld. & Rogenh. (Reise der Nov., Lep. t. 120. fig. 30), from 
the Amazons, also belongs to it.

Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (ibbe ; mus. Staudinger).—Amazons, liga +2, 
Two specimens from Chiriqui, a male and female, are before me; the female is 
larger than the male and slightly duller in colour, and has the antenne simple ; both 
examples are almost identical with the types in the National Museum. The male, 
from which the figure is taken, is contained in our own collection. 
ZORZINES, gen. nov. 
Male. Head small; thorax rather broad; abdomen slender, not extending beyond the wings, the anal tuft 
small. Palpi long, porrect, rather broad, flattened on the inner side, and thickly clothed with long hairs 
on the outer side, the hairs giving it a plumose appearance. Antenne about two-thirds the length of the 
primaries, very finely pectinated, tufted about the middle. Fore legs rather short, densely covered with 
long hairs; the middle and hind legs long, rather slender, and with long spurs. Primaries with the 
costal and inner margins straight, the apex pointed, the outer margin convex; secondaries with the 
costal margin straight, rounded from the apex to the anal angle, the inner margin almost straight. 
Type Zorzines plumula. 
The single species referred to this genus resembles Saserna in form; but the extra- 
ordinary shape of the male palpi at once distinguishes it. 
1. Zorzines plumula, sp.n. (Tab. XXXVI. figg. 16, 164, ¢.) 
Male. Primaries yellowish-brown, shaded with darker brown, with a faint pale yellowish waved line crossing 
the wing near the base from the costal to the inner margin, a small yellow dot at the end of the cell, a 
very indistinct waved dark brown line beyond the cell, a yellowish line extending from near the apex to 
about the middle of the inner margin (but curving inwardly towards the costal margin), two brown spots 
(the lower one more distinct than the one above) on the outer side of this line about the middle of the 
outer margin, and a marginal row of black dots extending from the apex to the anal angle, the fringe 
blackish-brown ; secondaries dark brown, shading to yellowish-brown on the outer margin, with a 
rather wide yellowish line, edged on the inner side with a dark brown line, crossing the wing just below 
the middle, two small black dots at the end of the cell, and a marginal row of minute black spots; the 
underside pale brownish-yellow, both wings crossed beyond the middle from the costal to the inner 
margin by a dark brown line (this being broken into dots) and with black spots at the end of the cell: 
head and anal tuft yellowish-brown, the thorax and abdomen dusky brown; legs pale yellowish-brown, 
the front pair clothed with long pale yellowish-brown hairs; the palpi on the inner side dark brown, the
