LEPRICORNIS., 405 
Ecuador and Bolivia, where Buckley procured specimens in both countries. In our 
region it has as yet only been caught in the neighbourhood of Chiriqui; and here only 
by Herr Ribbe, Mr. Champion not having met with it. 
LEPRICORNIS. 
Lepricornis, Felder, Reise d. Nov. Lep. p. 307. 
This genus was based by Felder upon a single specimen obtained by Sallé in 
Mexico, and a second species from South Brazil was placed in it by Butler. Of 
the last-named insect we have several examples; but we are unwilling to describe this 
as typical without comparing them with the actual type. 
Felder’s generic characters are as follows:—“ Antenne sat breves, crassiuscule, in 
clavam elongatam, excavatam sensim increscentes, squamis subpatulis piliformibus 
(presertim apud articulos) dense tecte. Palpi crassiusculi, faciem superantes. Ale 
integerrime, ecaudate, sat late, anticee vena subcostali triramosa, ramo primo non 
multo ante, secundo proxime pone cellule clausum ascendente, vena discoidali superiore 
e vena subcostali sat longe post cellule extimum oriente, inferiore bene supra venule 
discocellularis medium emissa, ramo mediano secundo et tertio bene distantibus, 
postice vena costali brevi ante coste medium excurrente, cellula discoidali brevissima, 
ramo mediano secundo et tertio in conditione ordinaria, sed interstitiis vene primarie 
medianz sat brevibus.” 
1. Lepricornis melanchroia. 
Lepricornis melanchroia, Felder, Reise d. Nov. Lep. p. 307, t. 38. f. 25. 
“ Ale anticw costa pone medium deflexa, supra omnes fumato-nigrescenti-fusce, margine externo excepto 
chalybeo suffusee, radiis dilutius chalybeis inter venas (in anticis solum in regione basali et interna), 
antice fascia subapicali margines non attingente subdiffusa chalybeo alba e maculis quatuor confluente ; 
ale subtus ut supra, radiis chalybeis tantum angustioribus letioribus anticarumque fascia angustiore, 
palpi et collare aurantiaco fulva.” (Felder, loc. cit.) 
Hab. Mexico (Sallé 1). 
We have never met with this species, the type of Felder’s genus Lepricornis. 
2. Lepricornis bicolor, sp. nov. (Tab. XLIII. fig. 13.) 
Alis brunneo-nigris area interna et macula magna in regione anticarum apicali aurantiacis, macula inter 
antennas, collari, stria utrinque corporis, macula frontali, palpis (preter apices), pedibus et abdomine 
subtus ejusdem coloris, fronte superiori cirrosa nigerrima, antennis omnino nigris. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
We have a single specimen of this species. The thickened antenne, of nearly 
uniform width throughout, resemble those of Lepricornis atricolor ; and the neuration, 
so far as we can examine it, agrees with the description given by Felder of the genus 
and also with the species just mentioned. The peculiar tuft of decurved black hairs
