 by reference to his MS. drawing, pi. 1361. We posses*

 Paulista, p. 637, pi. xviii, f. 1 (nee xvi, f. 3), 1902, is 

 another species belonging to this genus and is allied to 

 the beautiful F. camposa, Plotz [Stett. Ent. Zeit. xlvii, 

 p. 90 (1886)], figured in his MS. drawings, pi. 1360, from 

 Minas Geraes, from which it principally differs by possess- 

 ing red shoulders and by the absence of the bright yellow 

 costal streak on the fore-wing below. 



Fyrrho'jpygo'psis ignicidus, sp. nov. 



^ . Closely allied to P. orasus, Druce, from wliich it differs in the 

 almost complete absence of the conspicuous wliite basal area on the 

 hind-wing below — it is reduced to a small spot above the costal 

 nervure and some white scaling below the wall of the cell.

Fyrrhojpygo'psis caminus, sp. nov. 



^ . Allied to P. orasus, Druce, but paler, and the white of the 

 cilia on the hind-wing extending well into the margin of the wing 

 on the upper-side. On the under-side tlie costal margin is white 

 from the base to beyond the middle of the ctdl. The head, palpi 

 and anal segment and tuft are red as in P. orasus and there is an 

 additional red tuft on the abdomen at the base of the fore-wing and 

 the fore coxae are conspicuously red in place of the black of orasus.
