80 | HETEROCERA. 
Hab. Mexico, Presidio de Mazatlan (Forrer), Yucatan (mus. Staudinger), Valladolid 
in Yucatan (Gaumer); GuateMaLa, in the city (Rodriguez). 
Varies slightly in colour, two females from Guatemala being darker than the other 
specimens, We figure a pair from Yucatan. 
BRYOPTERA. 
Bryoptera, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 278 (1857) ; Walker, Cat. xxi. p. 425. 
Guenée included six species in this genus, all from Brazil, some of which are of 
very doubtful value. One of these extends northwards to Mexico. 
1. Bryoptera’ infuscaria. 
Bryoptera infuscaria, Guen. Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 274 (9)*; Walk. Cat. xxi. p. 426%, 
Boarmia larentiata, Walk. Cat. xxi. p. 861 (9) °. 
Boarmia consimilaria, Walk. Cat. xxi. p. 863 (2) *. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (M. Trujillo), Coatepec (Brooks, coll. Schaus), Atoyac in Vera 
Cruz (Schumann), Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith); Guatemata, Balheu, San Gerd- 
nimo, Las Mercedes, Volcan de Atitlan (Champion); Nicaragua, Chontales (Janson) ;

(Ribbe and Trotsch, in mus. Staudinger), Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet, Volcan de Chiriqui 
2000 to 4000 feet (Champion).—BraziL!?, Rio Janeiro 3 +. 
A common insect in Central America, and varying to any extent in size and colour. 
2. Bryoptera (?) candara, sp.n. (Tab. XLVIII. fig. 26.) 
Male? Primaries and secondaries pale fawn-colour, irrorated with black scales and minute spots; the 
primaries with five small black dots close together on the middle of the outer margin, the margin dotted 
with black, the fringe yellowish-fawn-colour ; the secondaries with a very large blackish patch extending 
from the apex nearly to the inner margin, and two narrow angulated black lines running across the 
middle, the marginal line black, the fringe pale fawn-colour ; the underside greyish-white, the primaries 
with a pinkish shade, both wings crossed by two rows of very small reddish-brown spots; head, thorax, 
and abdomen pale fawn-colour (antenne and legs wanting). Expanse 1,4, inch. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). 
I place this peculiar little species in the genus #ryoptera with some doubt the 
single specimen received is without antenne, palpi, and legs. 
BRONCHELIA. 
Bronchelia, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 286 (1857); Walker, Cat, xxi. p. 450; Packard, in 
Report of the Geol. Survey of the Territ. x. p. 443, t. 5. fig. 4 (neuration) (1876). 
Some of the largest and finest species of the family Geometride belong to this 
genus, which seems to be exclusively American, ranging from the United States to 
Brazil, and also inhabiting the Antilles, The single species occurring north of our
