2. Bleptina philetesalis. 
Bleptina philetesalis, Walk. Cat. xvi. p. 127 (?)*. 
Hab. Honpuras (Dyson 1). 
As the male is unknown, it is impossible to determine with any certainty if this 
species is rightly placed in the genus Bleptina. The specimen in the National Museum 
is the only one we have seen. 
3. Bleptina malia, sp.n. (Tab. XX XVII. fig. 12, ¢.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries uniform dull brown; the primaries crossed from the costal to the inner 
margin by three very faint darker brown waved lines, the outer margin from the apex to the anal angle 
broadly bordered with greyish-brown, a very minute white dot at the end of the cell; the secondaries 
with a faint line of very minute dark brown dots crossing beyond the middle from the costal to the inner 
margin: head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, and legs almost the same colour as the primaries. The female 
very similar in colour to the male. Expanse, ¢ 2, 14 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (f7dde, in mus. Staudinger). 
Our figure is taken from the male specimen in Dr. Staudinger’s collection. 
4, Bleptina (?) lasza, sp.n. (Tab. XXXVIL. fig. 13, 2.) 
Female. Primaries and secondaries pale dull brown ; the primaries with a rather large round dark brown spot 
at the end of the cell, beyond which a similarly coloured zigzag waved line crosses the wing from the 
costal to the inner margin, three dark brown spots along the costal margin, a narrow brown line below 
the middle extending from the costal margin to the middle of the inner margin, and a minute white dot 
edged with dark brown at the end of the cell; the fringe of both wings brown; the underside very 
similar to the upperside, but considerably paler in colour: head, thorax, abdomen, and antenne brown ; 
the palpi brown, with numerous scattered white hairs; the legs pale brown, banded with greyish-white. 
Expanse 1,3, inch. 
Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (ibbe, in mus. Staudinger). | 
One specimen of this distinctly marked insect is contained in Dr. Staudinger’s collec- 
tion; it is the only example we have seen.
