before the anal extremity, and the anal tuft 

 are bright orange. The remainder of the 

 body and its ambulatory appendages are deep 

 black. The abdomen of the male is greatly 

 compressed after the thorax as far as the fifth 

 segment from the end, where it is suddenly 

 enlarged. 



5 . The female is marked much as the 

 male, but the wings are broader and the body 

 is stout. The entire head and collar are 

 orange, and there is an orange annular band 

 surrounding the abdomen on the fifth seg- 

 ment from the end. Expanse, $ and 9 2 3 

 mm. 



Described from a pair taken in coitu Feb. 

 20th, 1888. 



14. 5. Goodii, sp. nov. J. The wings are 

 pointed at the apex of the primaries, and the 

 outer margin of the primaries is only very 

 slightly convex. The outer two-thirds of the 

 primaries is heavily velvety black, marked 

 by two moderately large hyaline spots, of 

 which the uppermost, situated near the costa, 

 about one-third of the distance from the 

 apex is triangular, and the lower, which is 

 suboval, is bisected by the second median 

 nervule. The black area of the outer part 

 of the wing is separated from the basal third, 

 which is vitreous, by a line running from 

 thecosta perpendicularly to the inner margin 

 near the middle. The inner margin of the 

 clear space at the base of the primaries is 

 narrowly bordered with black. The seconda- 

 ries are heavily bordered with black at the 

 outer angle and along the outer margin and 

 very narrowly bordered with the same color 

 along the inner margin. The marginal band 

 is produced inwardly at the extremity of the 

 first median nervule. The antennae are 

 tipped with white. All of the remainder of 

 the body and its appendages are black glossed 

 with bluish green, except the inner margins 

 of the coxae and tibiae, and the edges of the 

 ventral segments upon the lower side, which 

 are margined with white. Expanse, 25 mm. 



15. 5. reutlingeri, sp. nov. $. Allied to 



the preceding species. It differs from it in 

 that the broad black area covering the outer 

 two-thirds of the wing is defined inwardly by 

 a line running from the costa diagonally to 

 the outer angle, and not perpendicularly to 

 the middle of the inner margin as in .S. 

 Goodii. Furthermore the hyaline spots of 

 the apical region are much larger and the 

 upper triangular spot is bisected by the first 

 subcostal nervule, so that by reason of the 

 bisection of the lower spot by the second 

 median nervule, there is produced the ap- 

 pearance of four spots in this part of the 

 wing. The secondaries are very narrowly 

 and evenly margined with black. The front 

 is white. The entire body, the antennae and 

 the legs, are uniformly dull black, without 

 any lighter markings. Expanse, 27 mm. 



16. 5. leucerythra, sp. nov. $. The an- 

 terior wings are strongly convex on the ex- 

 terior margin, and rounded at the apex. 

 Upper side. The prevalent color of the 

 anterior wings, the thorax, and the abdomen 

 is orange-rufous. The front, the posterior 

 wings, and a band behind the thorax are 

 paler yellowish red. Both the primaries and 

 secondaries are very narrowly and evenly 

 margined with light brown. The anterior 

 wings are marked by five hyaline spots, bor- 

 dered externally by light brown. They are 

 as follows: Three, forming a transverse, 

 curved, median series, the uppermost spot in 

 which is quadrate, and lies at the end of the 

 cell, the second subtriangular, and situ- 

 ated below the cell before the origin of the 

 first median nervule, and the third oval 

 and lying between the submedian nerve and 

 the first median nervule; a subtriangular 

 spot situated near the costa, one-third of the 

 distance from the apex to the base, bisected 

 by the first subcostal nervule ; and a large 

 oval spot situated near the middle of the 

 outer margin, and bisected by the second 

 median nervule. The posterior wings are 

 immaculate. Underside. The basal third of 

 the primaries and the entire surface of the
