TETRACIS.—SELENIA. 55 
Four examples, all females. They vary considerably in colour, and the Mexican 
specimen corresponds best with the one from Panama. The specimen figured is from 
Totonicapam ; it is darker in colour than any of the others. 
EROSINA. 
Erosina, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 149 (1857) ; Walker, Cat. xx. p. 180. 
A single species from Brazil was included in Erosina by Guenée and Walker; I 
now add two others to it, one of which ranges from Mexico to Peru. 
1. Erosina rusticata. 
Sabulodes rusticata (Maassen), Reiss & Stiibel, Reisen in Siid-Amerika, pp. 57, 153, t. 8. fig. 1°. 
Sabulodes proximata, Dognin, Le Nat. 1891, p. 223. 
Hab. Mexico, Coatepec (coll. Schaus) ; Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 
feet (Rogers); Panama, Chiriqui (Arcé, in mus. D.), Bugaba 800 to 1000 feet, Volcan 
de Chiriqui 3000 to 4000 feet (Champion).—Ecvuapor 1, Loja?; Perv. 
This species is closely allied to L. hyberniata, Guen., the type of the genus Erosina. 
EF. hyberniata, however, can always be distinguished from H. rusticata by its smaller 
size and generally darker colour; it is well figured by Guenée. I am indebted to 
M. Dognin for specimens of his £. proximata. 
2, Krosina meropia, sp.n. (Tab. XLVI. fig. 10, ¢.) 
Male. Primaries brownish-fawn-colour, crossed from the costal to the inner margin near the base by a faint 
brown line, and with a dark brown line extending from near the apex to the middle of the inner margin, 
the wing on the inner side of this line appearing in some lights to be shaded with pinkish-white, the 
outer margin also shaded with the same colour; secondaries very pale fawn-colour, considerably darker 
round the outer margin; the fringe of both wings pale fawn-colour; the underside of the primaries pale 
silky-fawn-colour, darker at the apex and along the costal margin, that of the secondaries darker and 
slightly irrorated with dark brown scales: head, antenne, and thorax brownish-fawn-colour, the 
abdomen and legs pale fawn-colour. The female with the secondaries considerably darker than in the 
male. Expanse, ¢ 2;'5, 2 27 inches. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (fogers); Panama, Chiriqui 
(Trétsch, in mus. Staudinger), Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 to 4000 feet (Champion). 
Allied to an undescribed species from Colombia in my own collection. A male 
from Chiriqut is figured. 
SELENTA. 
Selenia, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 292 (1816); Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 150; 
Walker, Cat. xx. p. 181. . ye 
Walker included six species in this genus—three from Europe, two from North 
America, and one from New Zealand, showing that it has a very wide distribution. 
‘Eight are now added from Mexico or Guatemala.
