This species is allied to P. cruraria (Herr.-Schaff.), of which it is possible it may be 
an extreme variety. It is, however, considerably brighter in colour, and differs from 
that insect by having the outer margin of the secondaries straight in both sexes, instead 
of dentated as in P. cruraria. 
3. Paragonia cruraria.

In Mexico and Guatemala this appears to be a very common insect. It varies much 
in colour and in the distinctness of the markings; but, so far as the large number 
of specimens before me show, P. cruraria is always of a duller tint than either of 
the preceding species. At the same time, it 1s quite possible that P. occiduata and 
P. cruraria may prove to be forms of P. tasima, Cram. 
4. Paragonia arbocala, sp.n. (Tab. XLII. fig. 22, ¢.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries from the base to considerably beyond the middle pale yellowish-brown, 
shading in parts almost to white, and thickly irrorated with very fine brown lines; the primaries crossed 
from the costal to the inner margin by two dark brown waved lines—the first crossing the wing about 
the middle of the cell, the second beyond it, the latter not reaching the inner margin, but joining the 
very wide outer greyish-brown border about the middle; the secondaries very broadly bordered with 
greyish-brown from the costal margin to the apex; a small black spot at the end of the cell on both 
wings; the underside very similar to the upperside, but much paler in colour: head, thorax, abdomen, 
and legs pale yellowish-brown, the anal tuft almost white ; the antenne and palpi pale yellowish-brown. 
The female is slightly darker in colour than the male. Expanse, ¢, 145 2 12 inch. 
Hab. Mzxtco, Amula in Guerrero 6000 feet (H. H. Smith), Jalisco (Schumann).

PROCHCERODES. 
Procherodes, Grote, Trans. Kansas Acad. viii. p. 55; Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (5) xi. p. 55 (1883). 
Grote gives Phalena transversata, Drury, from North America, as the type of this 
genus, and adds a second species, from New Mexico, to it. I include in it three 
species from Central or South America, one of which is described as new.
