SABULODES.-—-MUCRONODES. 17 
Four specimens of this species are before me; they do not show any variation. A 
male from Costa Rica is figured. 
CERTIMA. 
Certima, Walker, Cat. xxi. p. 479 (1860). 
This genus was founded by Walker upon a single species from Bogota. He placed it 
at the end of the Boarmine, but it appears to me to be more nearly allied to Sabulodes ; 
I therefore place it after that genus. 
1. Certima permutans. 
Certima permutans, Walk. Cat. xxi. p. 479°. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion).— CoLomBia, 
Bogota t. 
A very common species on the Volcan de Chiriqui. Mr. Champion captured a large 
number of specimens of both sexes, which agree perfectly with Walker’s types in the 
National Museum. 
MUCRONODES. 
Mucronodes, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 47 (1857); Walker, Cat. xx. p. 36. 
Two species, both from Brazil, were included in this genus by Guenée; and, according 
to Butler (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1881, p. 316), Cherodes transcendens, Walk., belongs 
to it. ‘The sexes of the last-mentioned species are very much alike; females only were 
known to Guenée and Walker. 
1. Mucronodes transcendens. 
Cherodes transcendens, Walk. Cat. xx. p. 24’. 
Hab. Mexico, Paso de San Juan (coll. Schaus); British Honpuras, Corosal (Roe, in 
mus. D.); GuaTeMaLa, Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 feet (Champion); Panama, 
Chiriqui (Ribbe, in mus. Staudinger), Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 to 4000 feet (Champion). 
—West Coast or America (Kellett & Wood+); Cotompia; Ecvapor. 
This species varies very much in colour, the examples from our region being 
generally paler than those from the South-American continent. Mr. Schaus informs 
me that this is a common insect in Eastern Mexico, but we have only received a few 
specimens of it. 
9. Mucronodes artemon, sp.n. (Tab. XLII. fig. 20, 3.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries dark reddish-fawn-colour; the primaries with the basal portion darker than 
the other part, a curved narrow line crossing the wing towards the base, a black dot at the end of the cell, 
and a narrow pinkish-brown line extending from the apex to the inner margin above the anal angle; the 
secondaries crossed beyond the middle from the costal to the inner margin by a narrow pale pinkish-
