This insect varies considerably in the extent of the dark-coloured markings on the 
secondaries, the specimens from South-east Brazil having these wings much more 
heavily marked than those from the more northern localities. Grote, ‘ Canadian 
Entomologist,’ xv. p. 6, describes a variety of this species, from Indian River, under 
the name of floridata. Mr. Schaus informs us that this is a rare species in Mexico; in 
Colombia and Ecuador it is exceedingly common. 
2. Nepheloleuca ardania, sp.n. (Tab. XLII. fig. 1, ¢ -) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries creamy-white ; the primaries crossed from the costal to the inner margin by 
four rather wide pale brownish-grey lines—the first near the base, the second just beyond the cell, the 
third halfway between the cell and the outer margin, and the fourth submarginal,—the costal margin 
from the base to the apex and also the outer margin thickly streaked with fine brownish-grey lines, a 
well-defined brownish-grey line at the end of the cell, the fringe brownish-grey ; the secondaries crossed 
below the middle from near the costal margin to the anal angle by two distinct pale greyish-brown lines, 
between which a third line partly crosses the wing, a straight pale brownish-grey line extending from the 
base along the inner margin to the anal angle, and a black spot shaded round with yellow placed close to 
the margin in the short tail; the underside of both wings white, with indications of the lines as above 
and a submarginal row of small black dots: head, thorax, abdomen, anal tuft, palpi, and legs creamy-~ 
white, the antenne yellowish-white, the eyes black. Expanse 215 inches. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
Two males of this very distinct species were captured by Mr. Champion. Although 
very unlike WV. politia in colour and markings, the neuration is exactly similar. 
N. ardania bears a slight resemblance to some of the eastern species of Micronia. 
ZESCHROPTERYX. 
Cherodes, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 85 (1857) (nomen preeoce.). 
AEschropteryz, Butler, Journ. Linn. Soc., Zool. xvii. pp. 197, 204, t. 9. ff. 7, 8 (neuration) (1883). 
Butler gives Cherodes tetragonata, Guen., from Brazil, as the type of this genus, at 
the same time including in it five other species. The name Cherodes (not Cherodes as 
given by Butler) is preoccupied in both Coleoptera and Mammalia.
