Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Riimeli), Jalapa, Paso de San Juan (coll. Schaus); PANAMA, 
Chiriqui (Trétsch, in mus. Staudinger).—AntILLes, San Domingo ', Jamaica !. 
Central American specimens agree very nearly with Walker’s types in the National 
Collection. A male from Cordova is figured. | |

D.; Trétsch, in mus. Staudinger).—CotomBia!?; Gutana, Cayenne!2; Amazons 3 ; 
BraZiu °. 
I have seen four specimens of this species from Central America, three males and 
one female. It may readily be distinguished from all the others of the genus by the 
clear white ground-colour of the wings. Walker? erroneously quotes B. conjugaria, 
Guen., as a synonym. 
7. Bronchelia diffundaria. 
Bronchelia diffundaria, Walk. Cat. xxi. p. 457 ($ 9)*. 
Bronchelia anonaria, Feld. & Rogenh. Reise der Novara, Lep. t. 125. fig. 20. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Rio Sucio (Rogers); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 to 4000 
feet (Champion).—CoLoMBIA 2; VENEZUELA ! 2, 
Costa Rican and Panama specimens agree perfectly with others from Honda and 
Merida in my own collection, and also with the type in the British Museum. 
BONATEA, gen. nov. 
Male. Head large; thorax rather broad; abdomen long and stout, but not extending beyond the wings. 
Palpi thick, porrect, the third joint somewhat elongate, very blunt at the tip. Antenne long, filiform. 
Legs long, rather stout ; hind tibie much thickened, with a very long pencil of hairs arising from the 
base on the inner side, the spurs small. Wings ample: primaries slightly falcate at the tip, the costal 
margin almost straight from the base to the apex, where it is a little rounded, the inner margin straight, 
the outer margin convex, feebly dentate; secondaries large, their costal margin curved, the inner margin 
straight, clothed with long hairs, the outer margin very convex, rather deeply dentate. Type Oxydia 
duciata, Maassen. 
I include Bonatea in the Boarmine with very much doubt, but I do not know 
where else to place it. |
