HYPHYPENA Wrn. 
Type: Hyphypena bipunctalis Wrn. (Wrn. 1889). 
Hypuypena Wrn. Tr. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1889 231-2 (1889). 
Antennae biciliate ; basal joint without pecten. Labial Pulpit projecting nearly three times the length of the 
head, laterally compressed ; terminal joint tufted above, less than half the length of the median; median 
joint somewhat roughened toward end. Mazillary Palpi short. Haustellum scaled. Head with 
densely appressed hair-scales, projecting in front. Thorax smooth. Forewings with the costa somewhat 
arched, sinuate beneath apex, tornus rounded: neuration 12 veins; 9 out of stalk of 7-8, 7 to termen ; 
3-5 approximate; 2 twice as remote from 3 as 3 is from 4; 1 basally furcate. Hindwings 1, apex 
somewhat depressed, rounded, tornus rounded: neuration 8 veins; 3-4 stalked; 5—7 parallel. Abdomen 
somewhat flattened. egs: hind tibiae with rough hairs above. 
Closely allied to Coptotelia Z., but differing in FW: 9 arising from stalk of 7-8, 
instead of being closely approximate—further study may render it advisable to unite 
these two genera. 
1. Hyphypena syntoma, sp.n. (Tab. IV. fig. 21.) 
Antennae stramineous, Palpi reddish brown, the base and apex of the terminal joint pale yellowish. Head 
canary-yellow, mixed with vermilion. Thorax yellow, mottled with vermilion-red, especially on the 
anterior halves of the tegulae. Forewings canary-yellow, mottled with vermilion, especially about the 
base, along the cell, and on the lines of the veins beyond the end of the cell; the costa and termen are 
narrowly tawny brownish, an indistinct outwardly curved subterminal fascia of the same colour, from 
the outer third of the costa, not quite reaching the tornus; there is a small tawny brownish spot at the 
end of the cell, and another on the dorsum near the flexus containing some raised scales; cilia pale 
yellow. Exp. al. 13 mm. Hindwings shining, semitransparent, pale golden yellowish. -Abdomen pale 
yellowish. Legs yellowish white.

Hab. PANAMA: CANAL ZONE: Tabernilla, VI. 1907 (A. Busch). Unique. 
This species must be very similar to Peleopoda lobitarsis Z., but the hind legs do 
not agree with the description of that species. | 
2. Hyphypena colpodes, sp. n. (Tab. IV. fig. 20.) 
Antennae diciliate 3; fawn-brown, slightly serrate towards apex. Palpi long, curved; yellowish, 
profusely speckled with fawn-brown and red scales, the terminal joint half the length of the median,
