the femur =% coxa, dilated towards the distal end; tibia > coxa, dilated in the middle ; 
tarsus < femur (single-jointed). ‘The terminal joint of the palpi is short =3 middle 
joint; basal joint dilated = $ middle joint. Antenne with forty-eight joints, the 
terminal seventeen forming a moderate club. 
The tegumen in the male of the secondary sexual organs is normal ; the harpagones 
are long, slightly tapering rods, blunt at the end, and the inner edge bears long strong 
sete; a chitinous piece forms an arch over the penis and is produced outwards into a 
long stout depressed hook; on either side of the base is a lobe bearing at the end a 
pencil of strong sete; a strap extends from the base of the penis outwards and then 
curves backwards to the base of the harpagones. 
1. Necyria beltiana. 
Necyria beltiana, Hew. Ent. Monthl. Mag. vii. p. 8'; Ex. Butt., Erycina and Necyria, f. 5, 6%. 
Alis nigris vix viridi tinctis, anticis fascia arcuata nitente viridissima ultracellulari a costa ad angulum analem 
extensa, lineolis inter venas omnes albis notata, macula parva ad cellule finem micante-viridi ; posticis 
margine externo nitente-viridi venis diviso et inter venas albo lineolato, margine ipso nigro ciliis albis ; 
subtus nigris, anticis ultra cellulam et posticis ad marginem externum splendide viridescentibus, alis 
ambabus ad basin eodem colore maculatis, fronte et palpis fusco-nigris, cruribus anticis splendide viri- 
descentibus, abdomine utrinque rubro lineato. 
@ supra mari similis, alarum lineolis albis majoribus, subtus colore metallico absente, anticis maculis duabus 
una cellulari altera inter venas medianas et submedianas coccineis, posticis macula ejusdem coloris supra 
cellule finem.

The only specimens of this species which have come under our notice were obtained 
‘by the late Thomas Belt, after whom the species was named by Hewitson!, WV. beltiana 
has no very near allies in Central America; WV. vetulonia, of Ecuador is perhaps its next 
akin in the southern continent. 
2. Necyria ingaretha. 
Necyria ingaretha, Hew. Ex. Butt., Necyria and Esthemopsis, f. 8, 9’. 
Alis obscure fascis, maculis viridibus intus albo hastatis in serie submarginali; posticis subtus ut supra, sed 
maculis submarginalibus omnino albis et multo magis distinctis ; posticis macula triangula coccinea ad 
medium marginis interni, ciliis albis. 
6 adhuc ignotus. 
Hab. Nicaracva, Chontales (Belt). 
The only specimen known of this species is that described by Hewitson from Belt’s 
collection. Though found with W. beltiana near Chontales, NV. ingaretha seems quite 
distinct from that insect, but until we know the male we cannot speak with certainty 
as to its alliances. 
3. Necyria larunda, n. sp. (Tab. XLII. figg. 11, 12.) 
Alis chalybeo-cxruleo-nigris, preter basin lineolis elongatis albis inter venas notatis; posticis macula costali, 
altera ad medium marginis interni, coccineis; subtus ut supra sed posticarum dimidio distali cerulesentiori,
