 males (Brncs) ; Guayaquil, 2 females, 4 males {z: Buchwald; Alfken 

 coll. 15). 



The type is a female. This is the first South American Florilcgns, 

 unless Tctralonia f estiva Sm., from Para, should be referred to that 

 genus. T. f estiva (female) differs from F. pavonimis by the aeneous 

 (not pure black) tint of thorax above, the pale fulvotestaceous tegulae, 

 the ferruginous nervures, etc. The following key will serve to dis- 

 tinguish the males of Florilcgus: 



Middle and hind legs ferruginous (Cuba) lanieri (Guer.). 



Legs black 



I. Larger; labrum nearly all yellow (U. S.) condigna (Cress.). 



Smaller; labrum black, or with a yellow spot (Ecuador) ...pavonimis Ckll. 

 The female of F. condigna is much less like F. pavonimis, the abdominal 

 bands being creamy-white or greyish-white.
