GABERASA.—LASCORIA. 463 
black : head, thorax, antenne, palpi, and legs dark brown; the abdomen brown, but considerably paler 
beneath. The female very like the male, but paler in colour. Expanse, ¢ 14, 2 1,3, inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (coll. Schaus); GuateMaLa, Volcan de Atitlan (Champion) ; 
Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (Rogers); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 
2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
We have only seen two males of this insect, one from Mexico, the other from Costa 
Rica. Our figures are taken from Costa Rican examples. This species is by far the 
largest in the genus.

Hab. GuatEMaa, Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 feet (Champion).— VENEZUELA}. 
Walker described this species from a Venezuelan specimen, which is, without doubt, 
a female and not a male as stated by him!. We have examples of both sexes: the 
discovery of the male shows that it belongs to the genus Gaderasa, this sex differing as 
usual from the female in the cleft outer margin of the primaries. 
4, Gaberasa (?) albipunctalis, sp.n. (Tab. XX XVIII. figg. 18, 13 a, ¢ .) 
Male. Primaries pale fawn-colour, crossed about the middle from the costal to the inner margin by a wide 
brownish band edged on both sides with a waved black line, the black line bordered with a white line, a 
dark brown tuft of hairs at the base of the cleft on the outer margin, and a submarginal row of rather 
large white spots extending from near the apex to the inner margin by the anal angle; secondaries 
creamy-white, with a faint brown line crossing the middle from the costal to the inner margin, and a 
short white streak edged on both sides with dark brown close to the anal angle; both wings with a 
marginal line of small black spots; the fringe pale fawn-colour; the underside pale greyish-brown, with 
the markings very indistinct : head, thorax, palpi, antenne, abdomen, and legs pale greyish-fawn-colour. 
Expanse, ¢, 1 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Riimelt), Jalapa (Hdge). 
I place this insect in the genus Gaberasa with considerable doubt: the palpi (¢ ) 
are rather more thickly clothed with hairs and the outer margin of the primaries is 
much more angular than usual; but with only two specimens, both males, one of 
which is not in good condition, I think it better for the present to provisionally 
include it in this genus. 
LASCORIA. 
Lascoria, Walker, Cat. xix. p. 838 (1859). 
Walker founded this genus upon a male insect from Brazil. It is allied to Toréri- 
codes and Gaberasa; but differs from both in its narrower and longer primaries, smaller 
and more slender palpi, and slightly more prominent eyes. The sexes differ as in the 
allied genera. From our region we have a good series of specimens of both sexes of 
Walker’s species.
