1U3. EKIOCNEMIS. 361 



separate E. derhyi geueiically, the name Erehenna, Muls. & Verr., 

 is available for it. Of the othci- species of Enocnemis, E. incultus 

 seems the most aberrant, but of it I do not know enough to pro- 

 nounce a definite opinion upon its affinities. 



The tufts on the legs clothe the tibia and the proximal portion 

 of the tarsus. I have called them " tibial tufts " and not " tarsal 

 tufts," the teira used by Mr. Elliot.

 I'rom Kay-Urmana, Peru (J. Stolzmann), is evidently allied to E. alince. Tac- 

 zanowski's desciiplion of the male is as follows : — 



"A', supra aureo-firidis ; bubtus splendide viridis, abdomine splendidissimo ; 

 pectore medio albo, viridi maculate ; subcaudalibus splendide viridibus ; pedibus 

 albo papposis ; reiuigibus nigricantibus iiitore violaceo ; cauda profunde emar- 

 ginata, aurco-viridi ; rostrum rectum, subcylindricum, dimidia parte corporis 

 longius, nigrum ; pedes nigricantes. Long. tot. 106, vol f37, aile 52, queue 33,
