slightly rounded to the anal angle ; the secondaries rather narrow, and rounded near the anal angle; the 
fringes of both wings long.

Hab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith); Guatemata, San Isidro 1600 feet, 
Pantaleon 1700 feet (Champion) ; Panama, Chiriqui (Ridbe, in mus. Staudinger), Volcan 
de Chiriqui 3000 to 4000 feet (Champion).—VunnzvELA?; Gutana, Cayenne!; Amazons, 
Ega?; Braz}, 
This insect varies considerably in size and colour. Our specimens are almost identical 
with those named Hypena porrectalis in the National Museum; but I do not feel 
quite certain that they belong to the species described by Guenée, not having seen 
the type. 
2. Pena tessellata, sp.n. (Tab. XL. fig. 15.) 
Primaries brown, shaded with darker brown about the middle, crossed from the costal to the inner margin by 
several waved narrow pale lines, and with two small brown spots close to the apex, the marginal line pale 
brown with black points, the fringe brown; secondaries dull brown, crossed about the middle from the 
costal to the inner margin by a faint brown line, the fringe brown: head, thorax, and abdomen dark 
brown, the antenng and legs pale brown (the palpi wanting). Expanse 1 inch. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (Rogers). 
The single specimen received is without palpi, and is apparently of the female 
sex; but in general form and in the length of the antenne it closely resembles 
P. porrectalis. 
3. Pena (?) albomarginata, sp.n. (Tab. XL. fig. 16, ¢ .) 
Female. Primaries very pale brown, broadly bordered from the apex to the anal angle with greyish-white, a 
small black spot at the end of the cell, beyond which a curved row of very minute blackish dots crosses 
the wing from the costal to the inner margin, the marginal line with black dots, the fringe greyish-white ; 
secondaries uniform dull brown, with the fringe ‘slightly paler: head, thorax, abdomen, antenna, palpi, 
and legs pale brown. Expanse 1} inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (coll. Schaus); Guatemata, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
Two examples. These somewhat resemble small specimens of P. porrectalis, but 
they have the outer margin of the primaries straighter. The Guatemalan example is 
figured.

Legna, Walker, Cat. xxxiii. p. 1102 (1865) (nomen preocc.). 
Walker founded this genus upon the male of an insect said to have come from 
Georgia, but it is not included by Grote in his ‘ Check-List of North-American Moths.’ 
The generic name Legna has been used by Walker three times—in Coleoptera,
