SYNALLAGMA Busck. 
Type: Synallagma busckiella Engel (Busck 1907). 
Synattaema Busck Ent. News 18 277 (1907). 
The Zoological Record (1907 Ind. Gn. 13) wrongly attributes this genus to Engel, 
despite Mr. Engel’s statement (Ent. News 18 276) that “the diagnosis of the new genus 
Synallagma was prepared by Mr. Busck”!

A single specimen (65997), in poor condition, undoubtedly belongs to the genus 
Synatiagma Busck, but the markings are much obliterated and it cannot be identified as 
busckellum with absolute certainty ; it shows no character by which it can be separated 
from the Pittsburgh specimen (33604) figured. 
PAMMECES Z. 
Type: Pammeces albivittella Z. (Z. 1863). 
Pamoecss Z. Stett. Ent. Ztg. 24 152-3 Pf. 2-11-11 (1863). 
Antennae longer than forewings, simple; basal joint elongate, with pecten. Labial Palpi long, slender, 
recurved ; terminal joint acute, longer than median; median joint, distally, with long hairs above and 
beneath. Maaillary Palpi minute. Haustellum moderate. Ocelli absent. Head and Thorax smooth. 
Forewings narrow, elongate-hastate, slightly sinuate beneath apex: neuration 12 veins; 7 and 8 stalked, 
to costa; rest separate; cell very long, 4 from its tornus; media from below 6; 1% basally furcate, 
strongly angulate dorsally at the postflexal impression; 1¢ present. Hindwings narrow, lanceolate, 
cilia 2-3: neuration 8 veins; 5 and 6 stalked, 7 separate; rest separate, cell very long. Abdomen 
moderate. Legs rather long; hind tibiae with long hairs above. 
This genus belongs to the group of Lophoptilus Sircom, and Batrachedra Stn., 
having 5 and 6 of the hindwings stalked; it is most nearly allied to Zaratha Wkr., 
which however has smooth palpi, and lacks the antennal pecten. 
[The above description is taken from Pammeces -problema Wlsm. (68986-8, 
Colombia) which is congeneric with the unique type of albivittella Z. (Venezuela). | 
1. Pammeces phlogophora, sp. n. (Tab. I. fig. 7.) 
Antennae somewhat longer than the forewings, biserrate towards the apex, basal joint enlarged, with slight 
pecten beneath ; pale fawn, basal joint smeared above with reddish orange. Palpi recurved, slender, 
terminal joint longer than median which is clothed with a long, somewhat triangular, projecting tutt 
beneath ; very pale fawn, with a black spot before the apex of the terminal joint. Head reddish orange 
above, face pale fawn. Thorax pale fawn, anteriorly spotted with reddish orange; tegulae yellow. 
Forewings bright canary-yellow, the costa pale shining fawn-colour throughout, the middle of the 
dorsum and a small tuft near its base purplish fuscous ; around the yellow central portion of the wing a
