In its more elongated form, and in several other respects, this insect appears to be more likely to prove the 
true female of HZ. Eyanus than the female in the British Museum ; (also from Ega, to which I have given the 
name of 2. Hyanellus). 
Species 14—EPYRIS PLANICEPS. 
(Dryinus planiceps, Fabricius, Syst. Piez. p. 201, No. 4.) 
Viridi-zneus: abdomine nigro; antennis nigris articulo primo rufo, utrinque ad basin mandibularum 
insertis; capite plano viridi-wneo, immaculato; thorace viridi-zeneo, postice cerulescenti; abdomine conico, 
acuto, atro immaculato ; pedibus rufis femoribus nigris; alis obscuris postice albis. 
Two typical specimens of this species, collected in one of the American (West Indian) Islands by Schmidt, 
are still preserved in the Copenhagen Museum: the metanotum is subquadrate, with three longitudinal carine 
in the middle, and with an abbreviated ill-defined oblique one on each side, and the lateral margin with an 
impressed line, the interstices transversely striolated. The antenne are pitchy, with the basal and apical joints 
reddish. The front of the head is simple, with a rather deep impressed line in the middle ; the head and thorax 
punctured; the apex of the abdomen reddish; the legs pitchy red, with the femora dark in the middle, the 
anterior pair greenish on the outside. 
Spectres 15—EPYRIS FABRICII. 
‘PD. planiceps, var. ex America Meridionalis.’ 
A specimen thus named by Fabricius is also preserved in the Copenhagen Museum with the two specimens 
of BE. planiceps, which I can but regard as specifically distinct. It is a male, with long slender black antenne, 
with the basal joint green; the head and collar golden green, very delicately punctured, and with larger punc- 
tures interspersed. The front of the head is coppery, with a triangular impression in the middle of the fore 
margin ; the ocelli are large, the front margin of the collar is raised and punctured ; the metanotum is sub- 
quadrate, dark purple, greenish at the sides. It has five longitudinal carine in the middle, with the interstices 
transversely striolated, and the space between the outer carine and the impressed lateral line obliquely strio- 
lated. The abdomen is blue black, the legs pitchy fulvous, the femora darker in the middle ; the wings stained 
pale, with the veins and stigma blackish. 
Another specimen from Demerara, agreeing with the latter insect, is contained in the Westermann Collec- 
tion, now forming a most important portion of the Copenhagen Museum,
