This common and widely distributed American species varies very little, except in 
size. Specimens from the Bahamas are small and have the dark margins of the wings 
slightly narrower than usual. From Mexico and Guatemala we have received a very 
large number of examples. The larva is stated to feed upon Cucurbitaceous plants ; 
it, and the cocoon also, is figured by Stoll and Poey.

Very similar to L. hyalinata (Linn.), but differing from it in the black abdomen, 
including the anal tuft, and in the slightly darker margins to the wings. 
3. Eudioptis gazorialis. 
Phakellura gazorialis, Guen. Sp. gén. des Lép. viii. p. 297°. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (Rogers); Panama, Chiriqui 
(Ribbe, in mus. Staudinger).—Brazit, Rio Janeiro.—t? Java}. 
Walker in his Catalogue (xviii. p. 514) includes this species under P. indica, Saund., 
but I consider them to be distinct. The identification with P. gazorialis is given on 
Dr. Staudinger’s authority. The locality quoted by Guenée! I believe to be incorrect. 
4, EKudioptis plumbidorsalis. | 
Phakellura plumbidorsalis, Guen. Sp. gén. des Lép. viii. p. 298+; Walk. Cat. xviii. p. 5127. 
Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Ribbe, in mus. Staudinger). — Ecuapor; Guiana, Cay- 
enne ! 2, 
In this species the dark borders of the wing are very wide. Specimens from 
Ecuador in my own collection are considerably smaller than those from Chiriqui. |
