Lepuloptera of the Amazons. 51 



Noctuites, but actually belongiug, as I find, to the Noto- 

 dontidce ; to the latter family Burdaxima also belongs ; it 

 is closely allied to, if distinct from, Etobesa. 



Family POAPHILIDyE. 

 Phukys, Guenee.

 Uricurituba, Rio Tapajos, 17th March, 1874. 



^' Phurys'''' bianr/ulata of Walker is a Ileteropygas ; an 

 example of this sj^ecies from Santarem Avas confounded 

 with P. basilans of Guenee, which it resembles in colour- 

 ing. P. content a. Walker, is identical with Poapliila scifa 

 of the same author, and must be referred to the genus 

 Uemiceras, being evidently nearly allied to M. linen, 

 Guenee. Pliurys garnoti of Guenee, although it has the 

 general aspect of Trigonodes maxima, seems structurally 

 more nearly allied to the other species of Phurys. 

 P. injicita Avould be better placed in Poapkila. 



Family REMIGIID^E. 

 Remigia, Guenee. 



86. Remigia latipes. 



Remigia latipes, Guenee, Noct. iii. p. 314, n. 1774

 Uttary, Rio Purus, 25th September, 1874. 



A very singular species, in Avhicli the undersurface is 

 fully twice as dark as the upper. It is new to the Museum 

 Collection. 



The Phalcpna brunnea of Cramer (cclxxxvii. G.) seems 

 to be a nearly-allied species.
