476 _HETEROCERA, 
Tropical America; but it is quite possible that when the American representatives are 
better known it will be found that they are not congeneric with those from the Old 
World. Two are now recorded from our region, one of which is described as new. 
1. Bertula talausalis. (Tab. XXXIX. figg. 18, 18a, 3; 19, 2.) 
Bertula talausalis, Walk. Cat. xvi. p. 168 (3) °. 
Hab. Guatemata, San Isidro 1600 feet, Zapote (Champion); Panama, Chiriqui 
(Ribbe, in mus. Staudinger), Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion).— VENEZUELA ! ; 
Ecuapor. 
In some examples the pale outer margin of the primaries is much more distinct than 
in others. Our figures are taken from Guatemalan specimens. 
2. Bertula lycas, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIX. figg. 20, 20a, ¢ .) 
Male. Primaries rich dark reddish-brown, the outer margin from the apex to the anal angle broadly bordered 
with pale brownish-fawn-colour, the inner edge of the pale band very deeply waved and edged with a 
faint black line; secondaries dusky brown, paler near the base, a narrow white line near the anal angle ; 
the fringe of both wings fawn-colour; the underside dusky brown, that of the secondaries crossed about 
the middle by a dark brown line: head and thorax dark reddish-brown, the abdomen dusky brown, the 
fore legs yellowish-brown, the hind legs dark brown; the palpi dark brown on the outer side, pale 
yellowish-brown on the inner side, the tuft of hairs very dark brown. Expanse 1? inch. 
Hab. Guarnmata, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
One male specimen. Allied to B. talausalis, Walk., from the corresponding sex of 
which it may be at once distinguished by its smaller size, richer colour, more distinct 
pale marginal band on the primaries, and considerably smaller and much darker palpi. 
BOCANA. 
Bocana, Walker, Cat. xvi. p. 170 (1858). 
Walker gives B. manifestalis (2), from Ceylon, as the type of this genus, at the 
same time including in it numerous species from very widely separated localities. He 
divided the genus into four groups, placing the two South-American species at the end of 
the fourth. Bocana appears to be well represented in Central America, whence eleven 
species are now recorded. 
1. Bocana pharusalis. (Tab. XXXIX. figg. 21, 21a, ¢.) 
Bocana pharusalis, Walk. Cat. xvi. p. 185 (g 2)’. 
Hab. Mexico, Presidio de Mazatlan (orrer), Amula in Guerrero 6000 feet (HZ. H. 
Smith) ; British Honpuras, Belize (Blancaneaux); Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 
to 7000 feet (Rogers); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion), 
Chiriqui (bbe, in mus. Staudinger).—VENEZUELA }. 
A rather common insect in our region.
