Three viruses, two from bats and one from mosquitoes, were isolated from specimens field-collected in Honduras in 1967. Sodium deoxycholate sensitivity, pathological findings, temperature stability, size, and host spectrum by route and age suggested membership in the Bunyamwera supergroup. Hemagglutination-inhibition, complement-fixation, and neutralization testing with reagents prepared to 34 arboviruses demonstrated that the three strains belong to Group C and are most closely related to Nepuyo virus. There was serological evidence that man and horses had been infected with these viruses.

Accepted for publication August 18, 1970.
