Bab. Panama, Calobre (Arce). — South America, from Colombia and Amazons 

 Valley to Brazil. 



The male of this species was figured by Hewitson as that sex of Pyrrhopyga vulcanus, 

 an identification questioned by M. Mabille, who bestowed Hewitson's name upon that 

 draughtsman's figure 2 . 



We have now a good series of specimens of J", hewitsoni, which prove its range to 

 extend from Panama southwards over the whole of the valley of the Amazons, and 

 thence to Chapada in Matto Grosso, where Mr. Herbert Smith found it in abundance. 

 Unfortunately we have only one specimen from Panama, and that a female, but we 

 have little doubt it is rightly referred to this species. J. hewitsoni resembles J. hospita 

 in having a spotted prothorax and in the juxtaposition of the two hyaline discal 

 spots, but it may at once be distinguished by the presence of a median band on the 

 secondaries above. 



The genitalia of the male have a somewhat peculiar tegumen, which has a slender 

 central projection split at the end, on each side is a deep lobe, the lower angle of 

 which projects slightly ; the harpagones have a strongly serrated dorsal edge towards 

 the distal end, this portion ending at either extremity in a sharp thorn-like spine, in 

 the centre of the disc is a sharp spine. (See Tab. LXXIV. fig. 9.) 



A male from Muzo, Colombia, is figured. 



3. Jemadia macleannani, s P . n. (Tab. LXXIV. figg. 10, 11, 12 <? .) 



Alis cyaneo-nigris ; anticis ciliis nigris, striis transversis duabus basalibus, duabus ad angulum analem margine 

 mterno subparallelibus et linea interrupta evanescente submarginali cyanescentibus ; macula trifida per 

 cellulam, duabus haud attingentibus discalibus (interdum obsoletis) et linea arcuata quadripartita sub- 

 apicali byalmis ; posticis striis tribus transversis margine externo subparallelibus, una basali albicante 

 reliquis caerulescentibus, ciliis inter venas albis : subtus anticis fere ut supra, posticis linea cajrulea sub- 

 marginali lata ad costam latiore et linea angusta nigra longitudinaliter divisa ad costam irregulari; pro- 

 thorace nigro, lineis duabus transversis caeruleis notato, haud maculate 



Hab. Panama, Calobre (Arce), Lion Hill (McLeannan).
