CAMBOGIA.—ACIDALIA. 115 
Two specimens, one much paler than the other. Our figure is taken from the 
darker one. | 
ASTHENA. 
Asthena, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 310 (1816); Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. p. 434;

p. 324, t. 4. fig. 2 (neuration) (1876). 
Walker in his Catalogue included nine species in this genus; others have since 
been described by Snellen and Packard, and we now add two from our region. 
1. Asthena carnana, sp.n. (Tab. LII. figg. 10, ¢ ; 11, 2.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries brownish-fawn-colour ; the primaries with a small black dot at the end of the 
cell, an indistinct submarginal yellow line broken into spots extending from near the apex to the inner 
margin (in some specimens this is much more distinct than in others), and some very minute yellow spots 
on the outer margin, the marginal line dark brown; the secondaries crossed below the middle from the 
apex to the anal angle by two rows of round yellow dots, the marginal line dark brown; the fringe 
alternately brown and yellow; the underside of the primaries very much paler than above, and with the 
yellow markings considerably larger, that of the secondaries pale yellowish-white, with the marginal line 
dark brown.— Female with the yellow spots and lines much more distinct. Expanse, ¢ 2, 1 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (M. Trujillo) ; Guatemaua, Las Mercedes 3000 feet (Champion). 
The Mexican example, a male; is paler, and has the yellow markings larger than in 
the Guatemalan specimens, a pair of which we figure. Allied to A. relaxata, Snell. 
2. Asthena neclas, sp.n. (Tab. LII. fig. 12, ¢.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries reddish-fawn-colour, each crossed by fine waved reddish lines ; the primaries 
with the costal margin, apex, and a streak on the middle of the outer margin shaded with blackish-brown, 
and with a round black dot in the cell, beyond which a pale waved line clouded with black on the inner 
side crosses the wing from the costal to the inner margin; the secondaries crossed about the middle by a 
waved black line almost broken into dots; the outer margin of both wings with black points; the fringe 
yellowish-brown ; the underside paler than above: head, thorax, abdomen, and legs reddish-fawn-colour, 
the antenne brown.— Female very similar to the male. Expanse, ¢ ?,1+); inch. 
Hab. Guatemata, Las Mercedes 5000 feet (Champion). 
Three specimens, one male and two females. 
ACIDALTA. 
Acidalia, Treitschke, Schmett. von Europa, vi. 2. p. 5 (1828) ; Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. ix. 
p. 444; Walker, Cat. xxii-p. 680; Packard, in Report of the U.S. Geol. Surv. of the Territ. 
x. p. 326, t. 4. figg. 3, 3a—c, t. 6. fig. 21 (neuration). , . 
This genus includes a very large number of species from all parts of the world ; 
thirty-three are here recorded from within our limits*. 
* [have not been able to find some of Walker’s types in the National Collection, and it is possible that I 
have redescribed one or two of his species.
