PSECTRODES.—SIGA. 197 
1. Psectrodes herminialis. 
Psectrodes herminialis, Ragon. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1890, p. 488 (54), t. 7. figg. 6,6a(9)*. 
Hab, British Hoypuras, Belize (Sir Alfred Moloney, in mus. D.); Panama, Chiriqui 
(Arcé, in mus. D.).—BRaziu }, 
Our specimens agree well with Ragonot’s figures. 
TETRAPHANA. 
Tetraphana, Ragonot, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1890, p. 471 (87). 
The type of this genus is Ametris quadrifenestrata, Herr.-Schaff., from Tropical 
South America; two other species have since been described by Dr. Pagenstecher, and 
we now add a very fine one from our region. 
1. Tetraphana alipes. 
‘Tetraphana alipes, Pagenst. Iris, v. p. 3, t. 1. fig. 1 (T. albipes) ’. 
Hab. Mexico, Cuesta de Misantla in Vera Cruz (MZ. Trujillo)—Amazons, S. Paulo}. 
One specimen, agreeing well with Dr. Pagenstecher’s figure. 
2. Tetraphana daphne, sp. n. (Tab. LX. figg. 5, 6, 2.) 
Female. Primaries and secondaries bright orange-red; the primaries shaded from the base to beyond the 
middle and along the costal margin with purplish-brown, and with a large hyaline round spot edged with 
black at the end of the cell, on the outer side of which is a short red streak and three narrow black lines 
crossing the wing from the costal to the inner margin—the first two concave, nearest the base, the third 
straight, considerably beyond the middle, this line continued across the middle of the secondaries to the 
anal angle; the fringe reddish-brown; the inner margin of the secondaries clothed with pure white hairs ; 
the underside of both wings silky white, slightly shaded with yellow on the costal and outer margins, each 
wing with a submarginal row of indistinct fawn-coloured spots extending from the apex to the inner 
margin, the costal margin of the primaries and the fringe of both wings fawn-coloured: head, palpi, 
antenne, thorax, and upperside of the abdomen bright orange-red, the base of the palpi and the thorax 
and abdomen white beneath ; the legs white, the anterior pair with the femora and tibie red. Expanse 
23 inches. 
Hab. Mexico, Coatepec (coll. Sehaus); ANAM, Volcan. de Chiriqui (Ribbe, in mus. 
Staudinger). 
We figure Mr. Schaus’s specimen from Coatepec; the one in Dr. Staudinger’s collec- 
tion is considerably paler in colour.

| This genus was founded upon Phalena liris, Cram., from the West Indies; we now 
add a second species from our region. Siga was placed amongst the Noctuide by 
Walker.
