near the base: head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, and legs brownish-fawn-colour. Expanse 1? inch.

CIMICODES. 
Cimicodes, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 49 (1897 ); Walker, Cat. xx. p. 37. 
Guenée referred four species from Tropical America to this genus, and several have 
since been described by other authors. Hygrochroa galbanaria, Feld. & Rogenh., from 
the Amazons, belongs to it.

This is a yather variable species, both in size and colour. Cramer's figure of 
C. clisthena is a very poor one, but I have no doubt that the insect described by 
Guenée under the name of C. Jatata belongs to the same species. C. manoaria, Feld. 
& Rogenh., from Brazil, although considerably larger in size, is probably a variety of 
C. clisthena.

Our specimen from Mexico is a female, and agrees well with Walker’s type of 
C. torquataria in the National Museum. It is quite possible that this species will 
have to be separated from Cimicodes, the antenne of the male being rather deeply 
pectinated. 
C. galbanaria (Feld. & Rogenh.) is closely allied to this species, from which it may 
be at once distinguished by having three (instead of two) lines crossing the primaries. 
3, Cimicodes primularia, sp. n. (Tab. XLII. fig. 21, ¢ .) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries pale primrose-yellow, a greenish-yellow line crossing the primaries from the 
apex to the middle of the inner margin, this line being continued across the secondaries to a little above 
the middle of the inner margin; the primaries with a very faint curved line crossing near the base from 
the costal to the inner margin, and two confluent spots, these spots whitish-brown, edged with dark
