ZORZINES.—SIMPLICIA. 447 
upperside and the base of the long hairs pale fawn-colour, the outer part of the hairs dark brown; the 
antennz dark brown, yellowish at the tip. Expanse 1} inch. 
Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (fibbe, in mus. Staudinger). 
This very distinct and curious species is quite unlike any other Deltoid known to me. 
I have only seen one specimen. 
SIMPLICIA. 
Simplicia, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. viii. p. 51 (1854) ; Walker, Cat. xvi. p. 95. 
This genus was founded by Guenée upon a species from Eastern Europe; he also 
included in it two others, one from the Isle of Bourbon, the other from Abyssinia. 
I use the name Stmplicia in the sense adopted by Felder, not having been able to 
see examples of any of Guenée’s species.

Widely distributed and not uncommon in Central America. 
2. Simplicia aonia, sp. n. (Tab. XXXVI. figg. 17, 17a, ¢.) 
Male. Primaries dark reddish-brown, crossed from the costal to the inner margin beyond the cell by two very 
indistinct darker brown lines, an orange-brown line also crossing near the base and a submarginal waved 
grey line from the costal to the inner margin, the colour of the wing itself very much duller on the outer 
side of the grey line (in some specimens the submarginal line is not nearly so much waved as in others, 
and some have the marginal part of the wing thickly irrorated with grey scales); secondaries dark 
blackish-brown, paler at the base and along the costal margin; the fringe of both wings dark brown, but 
that of the secondaries a little lighter in colour ; the underside of the primaries pale brown, paler on the 
inner margin, a small grey line partly crossing the wing near the apex, that of the secondaries brown, 
thickly irrorated with grey scales from the base to beyond the middle, crossed by two darker brown lines, 
and with a dark brown dot at the end of the cell: head, thorax, and abdomen dark brown; the palpi 
brown, with the tuft of hair very much darker in colour than it is in the same sex of S. tibialis ; the 
antenne and legs dark brown. Expanse 2,1, inches. 
Hab. GuateMaLa, Cerro Zunil 4000 to 5000 feet (Champion), Coban in Vera Paz 
(Conradt) ; Panama, Chiriqui (Ribde, in mus. Staudinger). 
Of this species we have only received male examples. These show considerable 
variation in the form of the submarginal grey line: in some specimens it is almost 
straight ; in others waved, as in the Guatemalan example figured. 
3. Simplicia lycambes, sp. n. (Tab. XXXVI. figg. 18, 184, ¢.) 
Male. Primaries dull brown, nearly the same colour as in S. tibialis, crossed from the costal to the inner 
margin by very narrow indistinct waved brown lines, and with three minute black dots at the end of the
