I^epidoptera of the Amazons. 73 



Of other species placed under Capnodes the following 

 may be removed or sunk as synonyines: — 



Capnodes rnelanea is probably a female Pancjrapta, C. 

 sexplayiata is Phalcena pueritia of Cramer and belongs 

 to Capnodes ; C. rotundifera is a Gerisa. 



PARAXYMniA, Cramer. 



Chiefly diffei's from Capnodes in its more solid and 

 compact appearance, the primaries Avith longer and

Boaventura, Rio Jutahi, 24th January, 1875. 



Only a single specimen was obtained. 



Hypenaria, Guenee. 



Wrongly spelt Hypernaria in all Walker's descriptions \ 

 before noting Dr. Trail's captures I shall have to point out 

 some of this author's mistakes : — 



H. ortilia, orphna, tarchon and suhvelata may be 

 referred to Aryidia, H. patula is Latebraria contacfa, 

 H. snblineata is an Amphiyonia, H. continuens is Azeta 

 uncas, and //. punctulosa is a small Lacera; H. inter- 

 ponens is pi'obably H. roseispila.
