Abstract
The generic synonymy of the species belonging to the old genus Pangonia is highly involved, and the various names proposed for segregates from it have been for the most part based on rather trivial characters. A short bibliography will be found at the end of this paper listing most of the papers dealing with the problem. Lutz‗ treatment of the Brazilian species is in some ways the most satisfactory, and his groupings apply fairly well to the Panama species. The eventual solution may well consist in the use of some of his names in a subgeneric sense. Thus of the species here treated, pyrausta, gracilis, and rhinophora could be placed in Epipsila, schildi in Neopangonia, and the rest in Fidena s. s. (Erephopsis Lutz, nee Rondani). However, it seems unwise to make wholesale changes with a very limited fauna as a basis, and for the present all the Panama species will be considered as belonging to Fidena.
