. BRONCHELIA. 81 
limits has been described under a variety of names by Walker; its larva feeds upon 
Liriodendron tupulifera. From Central America seven species are now recorded, some 
of which are not uncommon. 
1. Bronchelia subroraria. (Tab. XLIX. fig. 1, ¢.) 
Bronchelia subroraria, Walk. Cat. xxi. p. 452 (¢)’. 
Hab. Mexico}; Guaremata, Las Mercedes 3000 feet (Champion), Coban in Vera 
Paz (Conradt) ; Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 to 4000 feet (Champion). 
We have received a good series of both sexes of this species. The female is very 
similar to the male, but larger. We figure a male from the Volcan de Chiriqui. 
2. Bronchelia nasica, sp.n. (Tab. XLIX. fig. 2, 3.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries ochraceous, with black and white markings (resembling those of B. sudro- 
rarta, but with more white); the primaries with the apex and a round spot at the middle of the outer 
margin, and also the rest of the outer margin in part, white ; the secondaries with the brown spots and 
markings much larger and more distinct than in B. subroraria ; the underside yellower in colour than in 
that species, with the black marginal marks and bands much more distinct: head, thorax, and abdomen 
ochraceous, marked with dark brown, the antenne brown. Expanse 3 inches. 
Hab. Mexico, Las Vigas (coll. Schaus). 
One specimen. Closely allied to B. subroraria, Walk., from which it may easily be 
distinguished by the primaries having the apex and a spot on the outer margin white. 
3. Bronchelia conjugaria. (Tab. XLIX. fig. 4, ¢.) 
Bronchelia conjugaria, Guen. Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 287 Phalén. t. 3. fig. 11 (2)'; Walk. Cat. 
xxl. p. 456 *. 
Hab. Mexico, Sierra Madre de Tepic (Lichardson), Jalapa (Hoge), Cordova (Riimeli), 
Omealca near Orizaba (M. Trujillo); GuateMaLa, San Geronimo (Champion), Coban 
in Vera Paz (Conradt); Panama, Chiriqui (Arcé, in mus. D.; Tritsch, in mus. Stau- 
dinger), Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion).—BraziL, Rio Grande 1 2. 
We have received numerous specimens of this species from Mexico. The females 
agree well with Guenée’s figure; the males are generally darker, and more distinctly 
marked. We figure one of the latter from Omealca. 
4. Bronchelia fraternaria. 
Bronchelia fraternaria, Guen. Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 288°; Walk. Cat. xxi. p. 4547. 
Bronchelia patronaria, Walk. Cat. xxi. p. 455 (2) *. 
? Bronchelia matronaria, Guen. Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 288 (9)*; Walk. Cat. xxi. p. 455°, 
Hab, Mexico, Cordova (Riimeli), Atoyac in Vera Cruz (Schumann), Coatepec, 
Jalapa (coll. Schaus); Honpuras (Dyson *); Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 
7000 feet. (Rogers); Panama, Chiriqui (Zrétsch, in mus. Staudinger ; Ribbe).—? Gutana, 
Cayenne*?4; Brazin?2, .
