out, more than twice as long as broad. Costa nearly straight, but some- 

 what curved inwardly at centre. Apices pointed. Exterior margin slightly

Eyes whitish yellow. Head black. Antennje shortly pectinated,

 abdomen dark blue, and all wings of blueish-black, fringes concolorous. 



Below, wings as above, with red basal dots. Abdomen blackish, with 

 a very peculiar black shield fringed with white hair, and having a yellow 

 lateral dot, covering area of two basal segments. Legs yellow, with 

 exception of coxa^, which are red above and black below. 



Expanse of wings : 48 mm. Length of body : 14 mm. 



Type, $. M. C. Z. de G. 



A very peculiar, and in its fresh state, undoubtedly a brilliant insect. 

 I should place it in the Zygaenidte, between Iliipula, Butl., and Ixylasia 

 Butl. 



Cosmosoma Juanita, nov. spec. 



The specimen is not very good, and the antennae are entirely missing. 

 Head and eyes black. Palpi yellowish. Thorax and patagia; black, the 

 latter with white edges. The slender abdomen above is bright red, with 

 basal two segments and anal segment of black colour, with anal black 

 tuft. Below, bright red, with exception of black anal segment and tufts. 

 Legs red, with white stems at coxae. 



Wings, above and below, vitreous, with black nervules. A broad 

 marginal black band on primaries, forming a large black apical space, 

 and tapering off at angle. Small black marginal bands on secondaries. 



Expanse of wings : 23 mm. Length of body : 8 mm. 



It is to be regretted that the specimen is not in a better state, the 

 secondaries being nearly entirely demolished. When fresh, it must be a 

 beautiful little insect. 



Type, ,?. No. 132, M. C Z. de G. 



It comes very near C. select a, Herr. Sch., but is easily distinguished 

 by the absence of the black discal spots on primaries, and the different 

 ornamentation of the body.
