Some more genera will in future come in this groui), one for Afjarisia dariia 

 Druce, Ann. Marj. X. H. ((1). XIV. 22 (189.5), and another perhaps for Aei/ucera 

 ti-ipiuilt(i Kirby, which species has, according to liamp.son's figure in 1'. Z. S. 1892.

?. Forehead as broad as the eyes are high, faintly narrowed beliind (?), conve.K, 

 without horn, but with sulicircular ridge. Antennae slender, slightly thickened 

 towards tip, joints well marked under a lens. Second and third joints of palpi with 

 long hairs, third joint about twice as long as broad (?). ■\Hddle and hinder tiliiae 

 with long hairs at the outer side. First joint of posterior tarsi visibly curved. 



Xeuratiou : forew-ings with vein 10 stalked with 8 and 9, stalk short; 9 origin- 

 ating much nearer to 10 than to middle of 8 ; 6 from areole, not from cell; second 

 partition of median nervure of the length of the respective iJOition of the outer margin. 

 Hindwings with second partition of median ner\ ure of half the length of the lower 

 discocellular veinlet.

Comes nearest to Eauchirropleru.^ Grote, but is easily distinguished by vein 10 

 ol the forewing originating between areole and vein 9, whereas in Euschirvopterua 

 (note vein 10 branches off from 9 as in Hecatesia 6, which is cpiite au e.xcejition 

 amongst the Afjaristidae. Eutkisanotia Hb., to which genus argenlatu has been 

 referred by the author, has vein 10 arising from the areole. 



We have only Jamaica specimens before ns, wliich agree very well wilh typical 

 anjentata from Central America, except in the border to the hinihvings being slightlv 

 narrower near the anal angle than in Druce's specimens. 



Laiinea aiyentaia (Ih-uce) bears a rather close I'esemblance to Cop/idryas ijloveri 

 G. i^ I\,, which species has, however, a long frontal horn and vein 10 arising from the 

 areole. K. .?
