 yEGERIA GllAJE. n. sp. 



Allied to the European y^g. asiliformis, Rott. The narrow 

 costal border of fore wings, the moderate posterior margin, and 

 the almost obsolete internal margin are golden brown, the discal 

 point at termination of cell (discal mark) reddish golden. The 

 narrow marginal border of hind wings, and fringes of both, golden 

 brown. Under side of fore wings bright yellow at base, and along 

 two-thirds of costal margin, where it gradually shades into golden 

 brown. Discal mark reddish orange. Hind wings also bright 

 yellow at base, and along half the costal edge, where the color 

 shades into golden brown. Fringes of both wings as on the upper 

 side. Antennae blackish brown. Palpi and pectus lemon yellow. 

 Tibse yellow, black posteriorly. Hind tarsi flecked with dusky. 

 Thorax bluish black on disk, with the sides narrowly lemon yel- 

 low. Abdomen with three distinct and rather broad bands of 

 lemon yellow, which are widened greatly on the under side, mak- 

 ing this nearly all yellow. Caudal tuft yellow, with a few black 

 hairs intermixed. 



Exp. wings, 24 m.m.

 Type. Coll. Hy. Edwards. 



This species differs from y^g. asiliforviis, Rott., in the 

 browner color, and the discal mark being concolorous with the 

 borders, while in y^g. asiliforviis, the latter are black, and the 

 discal mark fiery red, being thus thrown into strong contrast with 

 the other portions of the wing. The abdominal bands, too, in 

 asilifonnis are distinct, both above and below, while in gilicE they 

 are beneath almost joined into one yellow space, scarcely showing 

 the division of the segments. 

 ^GERIA MIMULI. n. sp. 



Allied to the previous species. Eore wings with the extreme 

 base black, and beyond this a longitudinal fiery reddish streak. 

 Costal and internal margins golden brown. Posterior margins much 

 paler, almost pure gold color. Discal mark, fiery reddish orange. 

 Hind wings with the narrow margin golden brown. Fringes of 

 both wings a little paler than the margins. Antennae, black above 

 and below, pale buff at the sides. Front, palpi, and pectus, cream 

 white. Femora bluish black. Tibire whitish in their centre, steel
