BONATEA.—GEOMETRA. 83 
One specimen from Chiriqui, differing from Maassen’s figure in its much darker 
colour and slightly falcate primaries ; but without seeing more examples it is inad- 
visable to treat it as distinct. Maassen’s specimen is probably a female, the one 
figured here a male. 
Subfam. GEOMETRINE. 
Many of the species of this subfamily are very difficult to determine, owing to the 
colour frequently fading soon after death. 
ACHLORA. 
Achlora, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 335 (1857). 
The species included in Achlora by Guenée and Walker are all South American; the 
northern limit of the genus would appear to be in Chiriqui, whence two representatives 
are now recorded.
