48 HETEROCERA. 
This species differs from all the other species of Macrocneme in having the tarsi 
bright orange-yellow. It appears to be a scarce insect in our country; I have only 
. received three examples. The figure is from a Guatemala specimen. 
3. Macrocneme vittata. 
Euchromia (Macrocneme) vittata, Walk. Cat. i. p. 149°. 
Macrocneme vittata, Butl. Journ. Linn. Soc., Zool. xii. p. 372. 
Hab. Guaremaua, Panzos (Champion)—LoweEr Amazons, Para 1 (Bates). 
The Guatemala examples agree well with the type in the British Museum. 
4, Macrocneme iole, sp.n. (Tab. VI. fig. 17.) 
This species is allied to M. leucostigma, Perty, but it is a much larger and more beautifully coloured insect. The 
primaries are glossy black, crossed near the base by a wide bright golden-green band—in some specimens it 
almost extends to the base; secondaries black: head and thorax greenish black; antenne black, tipped 
with white; abdomen golden green, with four small white spots at the base; legs greenish; the tibia and 
tarsus thickly clothed with long black scales ; the tarsus is not tipped with white as it is in M. leucostigma. 
Expanse 12 inch. 
Hab. Guatemata, San Gerdnimo, Calderas (Champion); Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt) ; 
Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 4000 feet, Bugaba (Champion). 
The specimen from Chontales is very much faded and worn, but I believe it to 
belong to this species. The figure is taken from Chiriqui examples. 
5. Macrocneme adonis, sp. n. (Tab. VI. fig. 16.) 
Primaries dark violet-blue, shot with green in some lights, the outer margin and the apex blackish ; secondaries 
black, shaded with dark blue at the apex: head and thorax black; abdomen greenish black, with two 
white dots at the base; antenne and legs black. Expanse 1} inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Riimeli); GuatEMALA, Chacoj (Champion); Panama, Volcan 
de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
This is the finest species of Macrocneme with which I am acquainted. In Guatemala 
it appears to be a rare insect as Mr. Champion only met with a single example; in 
Chiriqui it is much more abundant. 
6. Macrocneme evelina, sp. n. (Tab. VIII. fig. 4.) 
Primaries and secondaries uniform dull black, the apex of the primaries dusky white: head, thorax, abdomen, 
and legs black; antenne black, tipped with white. Expanse 1} inch. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 4000 to 6000 feet (Champion). 
I have only received a single example of this dull-coloured insect. I believe it 
is a female. 
CALLICARUS. 
Callicarus, Grote, Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. vi. p. 182 (1866). 
This genus contains only a few species, two of them being found in our country; it is 
very closely allied to the next genus (Mastigocera), the differences being well defined 
by Mr. Grote in his ‘ Notes on the Zygeenidee of Cuba,’
