As 1 have only one sex before me, and of this only one specimen, I prefer to 

 pnt the species provisionally into Milagaiista instead of erecting a new genus for it. 

 The front of the liead is faintly narrowed behind. 



l;!. Pycnodontis ovata i{othsch. sp. nov. 



<?. Resembles P. Hpadiwi Feld., bnt the band on the forewing is rednced to an 

 ellipsoid spot of 4 mm. length; the greater jiortion of the costal margin, median and 

 snbmediau fold of the hindwing below, and tiic fringe to the liindwing, are 

 white. 



Head and thorax s]]riidded with creamy white scales ; coxae with lou"- creamv 

 white hairs; tarsal joints with white scales at ai)ex. Tip of the abdomen orano-c. 



Hah. Bahia, Brazil; \ $. 



There are two females in the Tring Mnsenm, one from Petropolis, near Rio de 

 Janeiro, the other withont exact locality, which belong most probably to this species. 

 They difler from the above-described S in the hindwing having a creamy white 

 patch on the disc between veins 4 and 6 which is rounded exteriorly and tapers 

 off towards base, and in the hairs on the coxae being black intermingled with white 

 scales. 



14. Pycnodontis pulverosa Kuth.sch. sp. nov. (Feldcr in coll.). 



?. There are two /(!««/m under this uiinic^ in the Felder collection which are 

 to my knowledge still nndcscribed. They resemble P. leuconoc Feld. very much, 

 bnt are distinguished by the absence of the indistinct white patch from the cell of 

 the forewing above, by the discal band not being split up into spots by the 

 uervules, by the costal margin of the hindwiugs having on either side a black Imrder 

 of U to 2 mm. width, and by the abdomen being devoid of the ventral and lateral 

 longitudinal white bands, and having the penultimate segment above orange, like 

 the anal segment. 



Hah. Venezuela; 2 ? ? in coll. Felder. 



l-"i. Milionia everetti Rothsch. sp. nov. 



$. Uppersldc : black, deep blue in side light. Forewing crossed by a slightly 

 arched metallic blue band, varying to pale bluish green in different lights. This 

 band is 4 mm. wide at the subcosta and tapers off behind, having at the inner 

 margin, where it ends '> mm. short of tip of vein 1", a breadth of scarcely 2 mm. ; 

 the discocellulars are situate inside the band very near its outer edge. In tiie 

 anterior portion of the band there is a jiiukish buff line of 5 mm. length, extending 

 from vein 2 to near middle of apex of cell, crossing vein .3 close to its origin. Base 

 of wins- metallic blue at median and submedian nervurcs. 



Hindwing across the disc with a baml which is of the same colour as that on 

 the forewing, and reaches from the costal nervurc to the abdominal margin, where 

 it ends 3 mm. short of tip of snbmediau vein ; the hanil is almost straight, has a 

 breadth of 2 mm. in the midille, and is somewhat narrower at either end ; disco- 

 cellulars in middle of band. 



Um/ersUlc: as above, base of both wings metallic blue at the veins. Band on 

 forewing broader than above, widest between veins 2 and 3, ending before reaching 

 submedian vein, liinid of hindwini;- sepnriiled into two s]iots, one at aulrrior. one
