NO. 2050. LEPIDOPTERA OF THE PANAMA CANAL ZONE—DYAR. 321 



November, 1912 (C. P. Crafts) ; Taboga Island, February, 1912, and 

 June, 1911 (Busck); Cabima, May, 1911 (Busck); La Chorrera, May, 

 1912 (Busck); Trinidad River, September, 1912 (Busck); Chiri- 

 quicito C^V. Schaus). 



Varies in color and distinctness of markings. I make Pyralis nigra- 

 functa Kaye to be the same species. Mr. Schaus separated Costa 

 Rican specimens under the two names. His nigra'puncta consisted of 

 two males, small and brightly marked as usual. His resectalis, a male 

 and a female; the male, I take to be a species of Herculia; the female 

 is large and dark, but fits well with the males marked nigrapuncta. 

 The Costa Rican series runs strongly marked. The Panama one runs 

 about like a series from Venezuela before me, that is rather con- 

 trastingly marked, more so than the Guiana series.
