LYCIMNA.—IRA. es) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion).—Ecuapor, Sarayacu 
(Buckley). 
A single example from each locality, both males. The specimen from Ecuador in 
my own collection is slightly paler in colour than the one from Chiriqui. 
5. Lycimna artena, sp.n. (Tab. XLIII. fig. 4, 3.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries pale fawn-colour; the primaries with a broad space along the outer margin 
considerably darker, a black dot at the end of the cell, and two narrow pale yellowish-white lines 
crossing from the costal to the inner margin—the first nearest the base, >-shaped, the second extending 
from near the apex to the middle of the inner margin; a line in continuation of the outer one on the 
primaries extending across the secondaries to the inner margin; the fringe fawn-colour; the underside 
pale yellowish-fawn-colour, that of the primaries darker in colour, thickly irrorated with dark brown 
scales, a dark brown line partly crossing the primaries beyond the middle. Expanse 13 inch. 
Hab. GuateMaa, Panima in Vera Paz (Champion). 
One specimen from the Atlantic slope of Guatemala. ‘The strongly angulate shape 
of the wings will be best understood from our figure.

Herrich-Schaffer included two species in this genus, both from Tropical America ; 
and Butler has added several others from Chili.

Braziy 1 2 3, 
This species varies considerably in colour: Central-American examples are usually 
much brighter than those from the South-American continent, but the single specimen 
before me from Mexico is the palest I have seen. 
A. vulpecularia is a common insect on the slope of the Volcan de Chiriqui. 
| IRA. 
Ira, Walker, Cat. xxxv. p. 1562 (1866); Butler, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1881, p. 317. 
This genus is very closely allied to Acrosemia, and agrees with it in having the antenne 
simple in both sexes. Jra contains a few species from Central or South America.
