the antenna?. Behind, the eyes are more prominently bordered with 

 bright orange or gold-colored scales. Prothorax, blackish, with two 

 central and lateral white dots. Beyond the insertion of the primaries* 

 are lateral gold-colored spots, and centrally, behind the central white 

 prothoracic dots, are a few similarly colored scales. Patagia, blackish; 

 prominently lined within by white scales. Thoracic disc, blackish, be- 

 hind and centrally with a few yellowish and whitish scales. Abdo- 

 men, above, blackish ; the lateral pouches on the basal segment are 

 white, with a large orange-yellow spot on their inner margin. The 

 four basal abdominal segments show each a dorsal white dot on their 

 anterior margins ; the terminal segments show faint traces of these 

 dots, though much reduced and obsolete. 



Beneath : the palpi are white, except at their tips, which are black- 

 ish. Three lateral golden-yellow spots at the base of the legs on each 

 side. Legs, blackish ; coxae, whitish ; anterior and middle tibiae streak- 

 ed with whitish on their inward surfaces ; posterior tibiae whitish at 

 their middle, beyond which they are blackish, and strongly fringed 

 with black hair, which latter extends over the basal half of the tarsi; 

 terminally the hind tarsi are whitish, concolorous with the tibiae above 

 the black hair tuft. Under surface of abdomen, white. A lateral row 

 of white dots, of which those on the second, third and fourth abdomi- 

 nal segments, beyond the lateral pouches, are largest, and immediately 

 beneath the two first are golden-yellow spots. Antennae, blackish. Exp.

The Cujian species may be readily distinguished from Callicarus 

 PLUMiPKS, by its smaller size and slenderer shape, as well as by the di- 

 aphanous spaces on the wings and the golden-yellow corporal spots. The 

 habitat of Drury's species is given as the Bay of Honduras. It is very 

 evident on comparing the description of Euchromia plumipes, Clemens, 

 Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci., Phil., p. 546, (i860), that this species from 

 Texas totally disagrees with the figure and description given by Dru- 

 ry, which reads as follows : — 



" Upper side. — The antennae are black, but whitish at their extremi- 

 ties, being thickest in the middle. The head is black, with a white 

 spot in front between the antennae. The neck is black, with three 

 white spots on it. The Thorax is black, with several white spots there- 

 on. The Abdomen is also black, with several narrow white rings. All 

 the wings are dark-brown, without any spots or marks of any kind on
