 legs uniformly concolorous, the hind tibiae being purple except at 

 base, the hind femora purplish above, while the first and last pairs 

 of coxae are silvery white. Moreover, the forewings are much 

 more deeply infuscated (from base of marginal vein nearly to apex).

SYMPIESIS SUBSTIGMATUS, new species. 



Female. — Similar to stigmatus but differing in that the abdomen is 

 not longer than usual, the base above is as broadly metalhc as the 

 apex (venter entirely yellowish except distal fourth), and the median 

 stripe of the abdomen sends off two faint cross-stripes from nodular 

 swellings, the two stripes dividing the orange space equally, or nearly, 

 into three areas; also the substigmal spot is faint, not jet, the scape is 

 not wholly metallic but white along its ventral edge; the lateral mar- 

 gins of the abdomen are not metalhc and there is no lateral carina
