The examples from Santarem, placed by Walker under 
this species, are referable to O. corinnaria of Guenée. 
Curysocestis, Hubner. 
37. Chrysocestis pecilmidia, 0. 8. 
Allied to C. fimbriaria of Cramer, from which it differs 
in having the external border of only half the width, and 
consequently with only one submarginal series of 
embossed cupreous spots; in C. jimbriaria these spots are 
more silvery, and there is a second inner series of almost 
confluent, but not embossed, silvery spots, which, when 
looked at from the front, form a greyish brown band 
limiting the external border; the present species is of 
the same semitransparent pearly white colour, with 
metallic golden costal border, orange external border 
enclosing the submarginal cupreous spots, and white 
fringe having a slightly plumbageous shot; antenne 
golden testaceous ; below, the margins of the wings are 
pale brassy yellow, the submarginal spots of the upper 
surface being replaced by a series of dark grey spots ; 
expanse of wings, 10 lines. 
Amazons. (No exact locality or date given). 
Walker confounded two examples of this moth (which 
were received from Honduras) with Cramer’s species ; he 
also described, as the C. institata of Stoll, five examples 
of Berberodes conchylata of Guenée, at the same time 
placing an example of C. institata among the specimens 
referred to C. jfimbriaria, in which I think he was 
probably not far out, since it is doubtful whether the two 
forms are more than variations of one species. 
Lastly, Walker’s C. bisignata is only the female of 
Guenée’s “‘ Berberodes” gibbiferata which that author 
ought to have separated as a distinct genus.
