Phyle, Herrich-Schiffer, Samml. aussereur. Schmett. p. 62, fig. 338 (1850-58) ; Guenée, Sp. gén. 
des Lép. ix. p. 379 (1857) ; Walker, Cat. xxi. p. 588. 
Herrich-Schiiffer included a single species, P. arcuosaria, from Brazil, under this 
generic name ; this insect extends northwards to Mexico.

Chlorodes facetaria, Guen. in litt. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (coll. Schaus, Hége); Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 
7000 feet, Rio Sucio (Rogers); Panama, Chiriqui (Trétsch, in mus. Staudinger), Volcan 
de Chiriqui 2500 to 3500 feet (Champion).—Prru ; Braziu?*, Rio Janeiro’. 
The underside in this species varies in colour: in some specimens it is yellowish- 
green, the primaries crossed beyond the middle by an orange-brown line, this line 
- being of variable width; in others it is pale silky green, without any trace of the 
orange-brown line. The specimens before me clearly show that these forms belong to 
one species, although the two extremes look very distinct. 
TACHYPHYLE. 
Tachyphyle, Butler, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1881, p. 329. 
Tachyphyle has hitherto included a single species from the Amazons; a second, from 
Central America, is somewhat doubtfully referred to it. 
1. Tachyphyle (?) neis, sp.n. (Tab. L. figg. 13, 14, 3.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries pea-green, each crossed beyond the middle by a narrow brown line that 
extends from the costal to the inner margin; the primaries also crossed near the base by a narrow line, 
and with a brown dot at the end of the cell and a large reddish-brown patch above the anal angle, above 
which is a small spot of the same colour; the secondaries with a brown dot at the end of the cell, their
