70 - HETEROCERA. 
1. Himera nestor, sp.n. (Tab. XLVIII. fig. 3, ¢ .) 
Male. Primaries bright orange-brown, crossed from the costal to the inner margin by two narrow brown lines 
edged with pinkish-white—the first near the base, the second submarginal and extending from a large 
grey spot at the apex to the inner margin,—a small black dot at the end of the cell, the fringe orange- 
brown ; secondaries very much paler, irrorated with minute brown scales on their outer half, a faint brown 
line crossing the wing from the costal to the inner margin, the fringe orange-brown; the underside pale 
greyish-brown, darker at the apex of the primaries: head and front of the thorax orange-yellow, the rest 
of the thorax and the abdomen orange-brown, the antenne and legs brown. Expanse 2 inches. 
Hab. GuatemMata, Totonicapam 10,000 feet (Champion). 
One specimen. 
BROTIS. 
Brotis, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 303 (1816); Walker, Cat. xx. p. 213. 
Sphacelodes, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 116 (1857). 
The two species included by Hiibner under the name Brotis belong to very different 
genera; I take the first, B. vwlneraria, as the type. This latter is widely distributed in 
Tropical America, extending northwards to Mexico. |

We have received many specimens of this species from Mexico and Guatemala. 
These vary considerably in colour, and also in the size and width of the red mark on 
the costal margin of the primaries. 
Subfam. AMPHIDASINE. 
This subfamily, so far as at present known, is represented in Central America by three 
species only, belonging to two genera. 
AMPHIDASIS.

A widely-distributed genus, no species of which has been hitherto recorded from 
within our limits.
