second branch; the costal side of the cell is a little longer than the median side. 
The secondaries have a basal nervure; the discocellulars are atrophied; the upper meets 
the subcostal a little beyond the first branch, the lower the median a little beyond the 
second branch; the costal side of the cell is shorter than the median side. The front 
legs of the male in S. menetas have the trochanter inserted about the middle of the 
coxa ; femur = 3 coxa, tibia = 3 coxa, tarsus = tibia: there is a slight constriction 
showing the remains of a joint. The terminal joint of the palpi (in S. menetas) is short 
and slightly swollen, = ¢ middle joint; basal joint being rather long and much dilated 
towards its distal end. 
The harpagones in the male (i. threissa) are very short obtuse and setose at the 
extremity ; the penis is short and truncate, and near its extremity is an elongated patch 
of delicate spines. In S. menetas the harpagones are still very short and have two 
lobes, both setose ; the spines of the penis are much denser and more numerous. In 
S. probetor the harpagones have a single lobe; the spines of the penis, though dense, 
are not so many in number.

Hab. Nicaracua!? (Mus. Hew. et nost.). 
We have a single male specimen of this insect which was formerly in Mr. Bates’s 
collection, and a female is in the Hewitson collection. The species seems to have 
escaped the notice of both Belt and Janson. 
The alliance of S. emesia is with S. fatima, from which it differs in being duller 
in colour and in the spots above not being metallic. 
2. Symmachia yucatanensis. 
S. emesic similis, sed alis supra multo fuscescentioribus maculis et lineolis magis distinctis. 
Hab. Mexico, Valladolid in Yucatan (Gaumer). 
We have four examples of this Symmachia from Yucatan. It is closely allied to 
S. emesia, but differs in the points mentioned above.
