Walk., in the National Museum. Felder and Rogenhofer’s figure of Siculodes 
amethystea is a very poor one, but I have no doubt their insect belongs to the same 
species. 
AZIBA. 
Aziba, Walker, Cat. xxxii. p. 520 (1865). 
Vadata, Walker, loc. cit. p. 517 (part.). 
Siculodes, Guenée, Sect. VII., Pagenstecher, Iris, v. p. 128. 
In our region this genus is represented by one species.

Siculodes macropterana, Guen. Aun. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1877, p. 293°; Pagenst. Iris, v. p. 75 , 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Schaus, M. Trujillo); Guaremata, in the city (Candéze, in

This species varies considerably in colour, some specimens being much darker than 
others. An example from Jalapa is figured. : | 
DRACONIA. 
Draconia, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 197 (1816). 
This genus is represented in our region by three species, two of which I place in it 
with considerable doubt. 
‘The type of Draconia, D. peripheta (Cram.), is a remarkable insect, hitherto known 
only from the “ West Indies.”

Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Trétsch, in mus. Staudinger)—West Inpizs}. 
The specimen from Chiriqui in Dr. Staudinger’s collection has the pale markings on 
the wings more suffused than is shown in Cramer’s figure; but I have very little doubt 
that it belongs to the same species, the smaller spots on the wings being almost 
identical in form. It is the only example I have seen. 
2. Draconia denticulata. (Tab. LIX. fig. 10.) 
Siculodes denticulata, Pagenst. Iris, v. p. 98, t. 1. fig. 12°. 
Hab. Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt); Panama, Chiriqui (Trétsch, in mus. Staudinger '), 
Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion).—Braziu’. 
The five specimens of this species before me show a slight variation in size and
