Habitat : Brasilia 1 Bates). 



Black or blackish fuscous witli a piceous tinge, the prothorax above and beneath, and the head beneath 

 (excepting at the sides) pale reddish vellow. Antennae with 20-joints, black, clothed with grey hairs; but the 

 apical 5-jointS are pale yellowish clothed with pale hairs, the tip of the terminal Joint luseescent; the ;rd 

 joint almost as long as the ist and and united; the 4th and 5th short, submoniliform; the succeeding joints 

 more or less elongate-oval. Maxillary palpi black, short, the 3rd to 5th joints somewhat ovate. Legs blackish, 

 with a piceous tinge, clothed with greyish hairs; coxae yellowish. Abdomen also with a piceous tinge, the 

 hairs blackish; caudal appendages long, especially the second Joint, which is strongly flattened, obtuse, and 

 obscure yellowish, with black hairs. Wings shoot and very broad, especially the posterior pair, in which the 

 x is almost semicircular; they are dark fuscous; the membrane set with minute blaekish tubercles- five 

 very narrow whitish longitudinal lines; neuration fuscous, but the subcosta and radius distinctly dark claret- 

 colöur; four nervales between the radius and the upper branch of the sector, discoidal cell broad, closed; 

 and there i^ a transverse nervule below this cell connecting it with the upper cubitus; in the posterior wings 

 the discoidal area has two nervules. 



1 have one example collected by Mr. Bates on the Amazons. I do not think it can be identical with 

 Olyntha ruficapilla, Burm. (of which Embia Klugi Ramb. is thought to be a synonym); for the latter has 



the head, as well as the prothorax, wholly reddish. It is the broadest-winged s]iecies known to me. »
