BOCANA. 47 
2. Bocana malis, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIX. fig. 22,9.) 
Female. Primaries rich dark brown, the costal margin edged with white, the outer margin broadly banded 
with greyish-white from near the apex to the anal angle, the outer edge of the band dusky, the marginal 
line black, the fringe brown ; secondaries dull brown, paler at the base and along the costal margin to 
the apex, a small greyish-white band near the anal angle, this band not extending halfway to the apex ; 
the underside pale brown, irrorated with greyish scales near the base, a submarginal waved white line 
partly crossing the primaries from the apex but not extending more than halfway to the anal angle, and 
a white line crossing the secondaries from the apex to the anal angle: head in front and the base of the 
antenne white, the rest of the head and the thorax dark brown, the abdomen pale brown; the first and 
second joints of the palpi dark brown, the third joint white; the legs brown, banded with white. 
Expanse 13 inch. 
Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Rihbe, in mus. Staudinger). 
Allied to B. pagasusalis, Walk., but easily distinguished from it by the costal margin 
of the primaries being white (instead of yellow), the primaries themselves darker in 
colour and with a whiter outer border. I have only seen two female specimens of 
this species, both of which are contained in Dr. Staudinger’s collection. 
8. Bocana theroalis. (Tab. XXXIX. fig. 23, 9.) 
Bleptina theroalis, Walk. Cat. xvi. p. 248 (?)’. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 4000 to 6000 feet (Champion).—VenEzvue.a 1. 
Two specimens, both females, have been received from Chiriqui; they are almost 
identical with the type. The male is unknown. 
4, Bocana pagasusalis, (Tab. XX XIX. figg. 24, 24a, 3; 25,9.) 
Bleptina pagasusalis, Walk. Cat. xix. p. 870 (¢)'. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hége); Guatemata, Senahu, San Gerdnimo (Champion) ; 
Costa Rica, Rio Sucio, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (Rogers); Panama, Chiriqui 
(Ribbe, in mus. Staudinger), Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 to 4000 feet (Champion).— 
- Ecuapor; Brazit, Rio Janeiro !. 
The long series of specimens before me from Central America show a considerable 
amount of variation, both in colour and in the width of the pale line along the costal and 
outer margins of the primaries, this line in some of the females being almost obsolete. 
The type of B. pagasusalis is now in the Oxford Museum. Our figures are taken from 
Costa Rican specimens. 
5. Bocana lyse, sp. n. (Tab. XXXIX. figg. 26, 26a, 3.) 
Male. Primaries yellowish-brown, crossed from the costal to the inner margin by very fine darker brown lines, 
a minute dot in the cell and a mark at the end of it greyish, a large greyish-white spot on the outer 
margin just below the apex, from which two greyish waved lines extend to the anal angle, the fringe 
yellowish-brown ; secondaries uniform dull brown, the fringe brown; the underside brown, that of the 
secondaries crossed about the middle by a darker brown line: head and thorax yellowish-brown ; the 
abdomen dull brown, the anal tuft yellowish-brown ; the antenne and legs dark brown; the palpi dark 
brown, the third joint tufted with pale yellowish-brown hairs. The female very similar to the male, but 
generally paler in colour and without any tuft of hairs on the palpi. Expanse, g 144, 2 13 inch.
