Bah. Panama, Chiriqui {Trotsch, in Mus. Staudmger) . 



This species is allied to Lophocampa humosa, Dogn., from 

 Ecuador, but is at once distinguished from that species by 

 having the underside of the head and thorax black instead of 

 orange-yellow and by the row of orange-yellow spots on each 

 side of the abdomen : also the base of the abdomen is black 

 instead of yellow and the four anal segments are yellow ; in

 should be placed in the genus Phcegoptera.
