' URODUS. 39 
Subfam. PHAUDINA. 
. URODUS. 
Urodus, Herrich-Schaffer, Samml. aussereur. Schmett. p. 80, fig. 219. 
Herrich-Schaffer founded this genus for the reception of two insects from Venezuela. 
They are very scarce in collections, most likely owing to their being overlooked by 
collectors on account of their great resemblance to flies. 
1. Urodus monura. 
Urodus monura, Herr.-Schaff. Samml. aussereur. Schmett. f. 219+; Walk. Cat. vii. p. 1630; Butl. 
Journ, Linn. Soc. Zool. xii. p. 860°. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 4000 to 6000 feet (Champion).—VENEZUELA ! ; 
Lower Amazons, Para (Bates 2). 
Of this species I have seen but very few examples. It does not appear that its 
range extends northwards beyond the Volcano of Chiriqui, Champion never having 
met with it in any other locality. 
2. Urodus ruficollis, sp. n. (Tab. VI. fig. 11.) 
Primaries and secondaries black, the latter slightly hyaline near the base: head and antenne black, with a 
bright orange-red collar; thorax and abdomen dull black; legs black. Expanse 3 inch. 
Hab. Guatemata, Senahu (Champion). 
A single example of this insect was sent; it differs from all the other species of 
Urodus known to me in having a red collar. 
3. Urodus modesta, sp. n. 
Primaries dark purplish brown, slightly glossy near the outer margin; secondaries dusky hyaline, with the 
margins black: head, thorax, abdomen, antenne, and legs all dull black. Expanse 3 inch. 
Hab. GuatTEMALA, Cerro Zunil 4000 to 5000 feet (Champion). 
Of this pretty little species I have received a considerable number of specimens, but 
only from the locality mentioned ; neither have I any evidence of its occurrence in any 
other place. 
4. Urodus imitata, sp. n. 
Primaries uniform glossy brown; secondaries hyaline, with the outer margins very narrowly bordered with 
brownish black: head, thorax, and abdomen black; legs brownish black; antenne wanting. Exzpanse 
3. inch. 
Hab. GuatEmata, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
This species is closely allied to U. modesta, the chief difference being its larger size 
and hyaline secondaries. Only a single example was sent.
