COREMIA. 
Coremia, Guenée, Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 408 (1857) ; Walker, Cat. xxv. p. 1303. 
Walker has enumerated forty-seven species of this genus from all parts of the world. 
From within our limits we have received representatives of six species, four of which 
are-described as new. 
1. Coremia cinereolimitata. (Tab. LVII. fig. 4,2.) 
Cidaria cinereolimitata, Thierry-Mieg, Le Nat. 1892, p. 235°. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (Rogers).—CotomB1a !; Ecuapor ; 
BRAZIL. 
We figure a male from the Volcan de Irazu. It agrees perfectly with the type, 
which has been kindly submitted to me by Mons. P. Thierry-Mieg. | 
2. Coremia convallaria. 
Coremia convallaria, Guen. Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 410’; Walk. Cat. xxv. p. 1308’. 
Coremia defensaria, Guen. loc. cit. p. 411°; Walk. Cat. xxv. p. 1308 *. 
Hab. North America, California! 2 3 4-—Merxico, Milpas in Durango 5900 feet 
(Forrer), Las Vigas (coil. Schaus), Orizaba (Ff. D. G.). 
We have received a few specimens of this insect, all in poor condition. 
3. Coremia procilla, sp.n. (Tab. LVII. fig. 5.) 
Male. Primaries and secondaries pale brown, the primaries with the base and a wide band crossing about the - 
middle from the costal to the inner margin dark brown, the fringe of both wings brown; the underside

Hab. Guatemata, Totonicapam 8500 to 10,500 feet (Champion). 
This species varies in the distinctness of the band crossing the primaries. We figure 
a dark-banded specimen.

Primaries pale brown, crossed from the costal to the inner margin by two bands—the first near the base, very
