secondaries are pale yellowish red, of the 

 same tint as the upper surface of the seconda- 

 ries. The outer two-thirds of the primaries 

 are fuscous. The hyaline spots reappear upon 

 the lower side of the primaries without any 

 modification in form. The legs and lower 

 side of the body are uniformly of the same 

 pale red color as the adjacent wing surfaces. 

 The antennae are light brown tipped with 

 pale amber-yellow. The eyes are black. 

 Expanse, 40 mm. 



This is one of the most beautiful species of 

 the genus. My specimen was taken on the 

 shores of Lake Onanga, and is unique. 



17. 5. lencogastra, sp. nov. $ . Antennae 

 black, very minutely tipped with white. 

 Lower side of palpi, pectus, tibiae, and tarsi 

 orange-rufous. Front, collar, tegulae, lower 

 side of thorax, and upper side of both thorax 

 and abdomen black. The lower side of the 

 abdomen is broadly pure white, and the 

 upper side of the anal extremity bright 

 orange. There are also a few small vermilion 

 spots upon the upper side of the abdomen on 

 the median line, and on either side just 

 behind the thorax. The wings are deep 

 Dlack. There are four pellucid spots upon 

 the primaries, a square one at the end of the 

 cell and a smaller one below the cell nearer 

 the base, a small oval spot beyond the cell 

 near the costa and a larger round one below 

 this. Upon the secondaries there is an ex- 

 ceedingly minute translucent spot at the end 

 of the cell. Expanse, 26 mm. 



iS. 5. cytogaster, sp. nov. J 1 . Antennae 

 strongly pectinated, abdomen compressed 

 behind the thorax. Possibly referable to the 

 genus Glaucopis. The wings are marked 

 exactly as in 5. miserabilis, Holl. The front, 

 a spot on each side of the thorax at the base 

 of the primaries, a spot on the median line of 

 the upper side of the abdomen just behind 

 the thorax, the pectus, the tibiae, and the 

 lower side of the constricted portion of the 



abdomen and the outer edges of the remain- 

 ing segments of the abdomen on the under 

 side are all white. The end of the abdomen 

 is tufted with white hairs. Expanse, 18 mm. 

 Habitat Talaguga, August. 



19. 5. cybelistes, sp. nov. $ . Allied to 5. 

 constricta, Butl., but the primaries are more 

 acute at the apex, and all the translucent 

 spots are greatly reduced in size because of 

 the widening of the intervening black portions 

 of the wing. The outer margin and the costa 

 of the secondaries are broadly black, while in 

 5. constricta they are narrowly black. There 

 is furthermore a large triangular white patch 

 on the outer margin of the primaries below 

 the apex. There is but one white ring on the 

 abdomen behind the thorax, the white ring 

 which is found in 6". constricta toward the 

 end of the abdomen being wanting in the 

 present species. Expanse, 28 mm. 



20. 5\ creobota, sp. nov. £. Allied to 

 5. cerbera, Linn., but not so robust. An- 

 tennae white at the tips. The primaries are 

 marked as in 5. cerbera, except that they are 

 not white at the apices. The secondaries 

 are more acute at the outer angle, and the 

 translucent spots relatively smaller than in 

 5. cerbera. The thorax at the base of both 

 wings on the under side has an orange spot, 

 and the upper side of the abdomen is solid 

 orange-red from the thorax to the fourth seg- 

 ment from the end, except on the middle 

 ventral line of the under side, which with all 

 the rest of the body is blue-black. The tibiae 

 are margined with white. Expanse, 2S mm. 



21. 5. crenophylax, sp. nov. $ . Allied in 

 general outline to S. leucogastra. Antennae 

 moderately pectinated. Front and pectus 

 white. Collar, a spot on the lower side of 

 the thorax on each side at base of the prim- 

 aries, and the entire lower side of the abdo- 

 men bright orange-red. The upper side of 

 the thorax is black. The abdomen upon the 

 upper side is ringed with bright shining 

 green next to the thorax, this green band is
