168 HETEROCERA. 
11. Epirrhoe lichenea ? 
Cidaria lichenea, Oberth. Etudes d’Ent. vii. p. 34, t. 3. fig. 6°. 
Hab. Guavemata, Totonicapam 10,000 feet (Champion).—Perv, Tambillo?. 
One worn specimen, possibly belonging to this species. 
12. Epirrhoe —— ? 
Hab. Mexico, Paso de San Juan in Vera Cruz (coll. Schaus); GuaTemata, San 
Gerdénimo (Champion). 
Several specimens, none of them in sufficiently good condition to describe. 
13. Epirrhoe conglomerata. 
Cidaria conglomerata, Walk. Cat. xxv. p. 1895". 
? Spargania cultata, Guen. Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 455°; Walk. Cat. xxv. p. 1376 *, 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (M. Trujillo & coll. Schaus), Cuesta de Misantla (M/. Trujitlo) ; 
GuatemaLa (Conradt, in mus. Staudinger), Purula in Vera Paz (Champion); Panama, 
Chiriqui (Ridde, in mus. Staudinger), Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Cham- 
pton).— VENEZUELA 1; Braziu}. 
A common species within our limits. It is exceedingly variable, some specimens 
being almost white, while others are well marked with brown lines; hardly two 
specimens are alike. The locality for Spargania cultata was unknown to Guenée ?. 
If Guenée’s and Walker’s names really apply to the same species, the name cultata 
will have to be retained. 
MELANIPPE. 
Melanippe, Duponchel, Hist. Nat. Lép. Fr., Nocturnes, iv. 2, p. 111 (1829); Walker, Cat. xxv. 
p. 1281. 
This genus is represented in our region by two species, both of them apparently rare. 
From North America a considerable number of species are known. 
1. Melanippe pontina, sp. n. (Tab. LVII. fig. 2.) 
Primaries and secondaries greyish-white ; the primaries with the base and three waved bands crossing from 
the costal to the inner margin pale brown, the third band being broken into spots and edged with a white 
line on the outer side, a submarginal row of small black dots extending from the apex almost to the anal 
angle, the marginal line spotted with black, the fringe greyish-white ; the secondaries with the marginal 
line spotted with black near the anal angle; the underside greyish-white, the primaries with the apex 
and a spot at the end of the cell blackish-brown : head, thorax, abdomen, and legs greyish-brown, the 
antenne pale brown. Expanse 1,4 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (M. Trujillo), Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith); Guatemana, 
San Gerénimo (Champion). 
This species varies in the distinctness of the brown bands crossing the primaries.
