Herrich-Schaeffer’s and Guenee’s types were from Brazil, 
whence also it is represented in coll. Br. Mus. Mr. Bayne 
tells me it occurs rather freely in Montevideo.

71. Hammaptera jugurtharia (Guenee) (?) 
Cidaria jugurtharia, Guenee, Spec. Gen. des Lep., x, 460 
(1858). 
Tucuman, in coll. Dognin. 
The species was originally described from Colombia. 
Its exact range is somewhat uncertain, as it belongs to 
a group of forms which have not yet been exhaustively 
studied, and which may be either piizzlingly similar but 
distinct species, or mere geographical forms and aberra¬ 
tions. They have been received rather freely of late in 
some of the rich collections from Eastern Peru. Guen^e’s 
was one of the largest forms—he gives 42 mm. expanse; 
the Tucuman race (or relative), of which M. Dognin 
has very kindly given me an example, is considerably 
smaller, and lacks the white subterminal dots in the dark 
apical cloud of the forewing beneath, which seem char¬ 
acteristic of the Peruvian forms. A comparison of Guen4e’s 
types is much to be desired.
