CHRYSOCESTIS.—EPHYRA. 101 
silvery spots, not two, as stated by Mr. Butler + when he described C. pecilmidia as a 
distinct species. The series of over eighty specimens before me vary very slightly in 
the width of the outer margin. 
Subfam. GONIACIDALIINA. 
This subfamily was proposed by Dr. Packard [Report of the U.S. Geol. Survey of 
the Territ. x. p. 311 (1876)] to include three genera, Goniacidalia, Pack., Calledapterys, 
Grote, and Callizzia, Pack., each containing a single species from the United States or 
Canada. One species of Calledupteryx has been described by Mr. H. Edwards as from 
‘Mexico; it is quite unknown to me.

This genus is represented in nearly all parts of the world; five species occur within 
our limits. 
1. Ephyra punctaria. 
Phalena Geometra punctaria, Stoll, in Cramer’s Pap. Exot. v. p. 58, t. 12. f. 10°.

mann) ; GuaTEMALA, Zapote (Champion); Panama, Chiriqui (Aibbe, in mus. Staudinger). 
—Guiana, Surinam 13; Brazin 23. 
Not uncommon in Central America. It varies in colour and in the distinctness of 
the markings: in some specimens the spots are black and well defined ; in others they 
are almost obsolete. 
2. Ephyra megista, sp.n. (Tab. LI. fig. 1, 3.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries reddish-fawn-colour, each crossed by two rows of very minute black spots,
