Nipteria viatriz, Thierry-Mieg, Le Nat. 1892, p. 262 (¢)’. 
Hab. Guatemaa, Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 feet (Champion); Panama, Chiriqui ! 
(Trotsch, in mus. Staudinger), Volcan de Chiriqui 2500 to 3000 feet (Champtun). 
I am much indebted to Mons. P. Thierry-Mieg for kindly sending me his type of 
this species for examination. We have received two specimens of MW. viatrix, both 
females, which differ from the type (male) in having the white spot on the primaries 
rather larger and extending nearer to the costal margin. A male from Dr. Staudinger’s 
collection is figured.

Numerous specimens from Central America agree with Hiibner’s figure of this species, 
except that they have the outer margins of the wings paler.
