REPORT ON THE LEPIDOPTERA OF THE SMITHSONIAN 

 BIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE PANAMA CANAL ZONE. 



By Harrison G. Dyar,

The present paper deals with the so-called Macrolepidoptera col- 

 lected in Panama under the auspices of the Smithsonian Biological 

 Survey, in the Canal Zone and from localities outside of it. 



Most of the specimens here treated were collected by Mr. August 

 Busck, who went primarily to collect ' ' Micros ' ' and took the ' 'Macros ' ' 

 only as a side issue. Consequently the larger "Macros," especially 

 the Papilionoidea and the larger moths will be found poorly repre- 

 sentsd in this list. The little "Macros," especially the small Noc- 

 tuidse, LithosiidfB, and Pyralidge, will be found unusually well repre- 

 sented, many hitherto undiscovered species being among them. 



There are reported on here 8,254 specimens in 1 ,713 species. Some 

 additional material, which proved impracticable to incorporate, will 

 raise the total number of specimens in the collection to about 9,000, 

 but will not increase the number of species greatly.
