UBANIUS AND PSALOBRENTHUS. 163 



NOTE XXIV. 



ON THE GENERA UBANIUS SENNA, 

 AND PSALOBRENTHUS (SHARP) 



D. SHARP. 



In Vol. XVI of » Notes from the Leyden Museum" Dr. 

 Senna described some new Brenthidse, among them Uba- 

 nius ceneus (n. g. and n. sp.) from Central America. The 

 species was characterised from three examples, one male 

 of unknown habitat in the collection of the Brussels Mu- 

 seum, one female from Mexico in the Rothschild Museum, 

 and a second female, said to be from Chiriqui, in Dr. 

 Senna's collection. 



At this time my descriptions of the Central American 

 Brenthidas were completed , but on receiving Dr. Senna's 

 paper I was able by the kindness of the Honorable Walter 

 Rothschild to compare the female of Ubanius ceneus in his 

 collection with the rich series of Central American Bren- 

 thidae of Messrs. Godman and Salvin that had formed 

 the material for the work since published ^). His specimen 

 quite agreed with an insect from Mexico I had described 

 under the name of Episphales potens, n. sp. I accordingly 

 suppressed the name I had intended to use, replacing it 

 by that of Ubanius ceneus Senna.
