In the form of the wings, especially in the male, this species has much the appear- 
ance of a Palthis; but the palpi are not tufted as in the males of that genus. Perhaps 
generically distinct from Neoherminia.

Walker included nine species in this genus, five of them with doubt. From our 
region we have received examples of five species. 
1. Palthis spectalis.

Not uncommon in Central America. The female differs from the male in having 
the palpi simple, not tufted with hairs. The locality for Bertula insignalis was 
unknown to Walker 3.
