168 Psyche [Sept.-Dee. 
Leucochrysa varia Schneider 1851 
Recorded from the region by Navas, but probably pretiosa. 
Leucochrysa pretiosa Bks. 1910 
From Barro Colorado, Canal Zone, January, 15, 22, 25 July, 
December; El Cermeno, Panama, April, May; La Campana, 
Panama, September, Cayuga, Guatemala, June; Volcan Sta. 
Marta, Guatemala, June; Limon, Costa Rica, 24 May; and 
Alta Vera Paz, Guatemala, 24 April. In pretiosa the inner 
gradates are more nearly parallel to the outer and do not 
extend up so near to the radial sector as in varia. Also in 
pretiosa the divisory cell has the outer side little longer than 
basal side; in varia the basal side is usually much shorter, 
but there is variation; the sure way to separate them is by 
the longer pronotum of varia. From the Hagen collection we 
have a type or cotype of varia. 
Leucochrysa notha Navas 1913 is not a Nodita, but I have not 
seen it in my material. 
Leucochrysa dolichocera Navas 1913 I have not seen, but is 
evidently related to the South American group of longicornis 
and so placed in synopsis. 
Leucochrysa vulnerata Navas 1914 from Guatemala; probably 
related to pretiosa.
