E. ozema was described by Mr. Butler in 1870 from specimens in Mr. Druce's 

 collection and in that of the British Museum, from various localities in Central and 

 South America. We obtained examples, some years previously, in Guatemala, and it 

 has since proved to be a very common insect, ranging from Southern Mexico to 

 South Brazil. 



The tegumen of the male genitalia has two short claw-like points at the end ; the 

 harpes are elongated, the lower portion being considerably narrowed and produced, at 

 the base of the narrow portion a lobe arises, ending in a spatuled thickened end ; a flat- 

 tened prominence on the dorsal edge has a serrate margin. (See Tab. LXXXV. fig. 17.) 



XENOPHANES, gen. nov. 



The primary wings in this genus are much shorter and more rounded than in either 

 of the preceding genera ; the third median segment is short, the lower and middle 

 discocellulars subequal, and the upper discocellular distinct ; there is no fold along the 

 costa ; the discocellulars of the secondaries and the radial are very indistinct, the third 

 median segment long and nearly equal to the second subcostal segment ; the hind 

 tibiae have no tuft. 



The type of the genus, X. tryxus (Cr.), has a very wide range throughout Tropical 

 America.
