On the appearance of the part of Seitz’s work on the 
Lepidoptera containing the monograph of Catasticta, by 
J. Rober, we decided to work out the material of this 
genus in the collection of Mr. Adams, with a view to 
describing the new species. As we proceeded to do this 
we found so many errors in Roéber’s work that we felt 
compelled: to correct these as well as describe the new 
forms. The only described species of which we have seen 
neither specimens nor figures are C. emeris, Boisd., and C. 
rubricata, Weym. Our thanks are due to Monsieur Le 
Cerf, of the Paris Museum, for kindly affording us the 
opportunity of seeing the types of Lucas, and to the Hon. 
Walter Rothschiid for allowing us to see Felder’s types. 
Catasticta ochracea, Bates. 
Euterpe ochracea, Bates, Ent. Mo. Mag., 1, p. 31 (1864). 
C. ochracea, G., and S. Biologia C. Americana, p. 118, and 
lix. £11, 12, 13 (1889). 
Rober omits to mention this Guatemalan form of 
nimbice, Boisd. 
Catasticta boliviana, Butl. 
C. boliviana, Butl., Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (6), 17, p. 54 
(1896). 
Rober figures this species as pinava, Doubld., and 
compares it with sinapina, Butl., a species totally unlike it. 
Catasticta vapina, Butl. 
C. vapina, Butl., Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (6), 20, p. 367 
(1897). 
This name will have to be sunk as a synonym of wcerta, 
Dognin, which has priority. Rober compares this species 
with pinava, Rob. = boliviensis, Butl., a very different 
thing, as may be seen by Dognin’s figure.
