PsrupDoOPHELES, nov. gen. 
Differs from Pheles in the neuration of the fore-wings, 
the upper radial (or discoidal) nervure being emitted at 
the end of the cell, in conjunction with the discocellular 
nervule, and the lower radial lying about midway between 
the subcostal and median nervures. The genus differs 
from LHsthemopsis of Felder, which it much resembles in 
form of wings and in coloration, alone by the conjunction 
of the upper radial and discocellular nervures at their 
origin. If this difference in the neuration should prove 
not to be constant when other species are discovered, the 
genus may very well be united with Hsthemopsis. The 
antennes are concolorous black, with a gradually-formed 
club. The palpi do not pass the forehead. 
Pseudopheles sericina. 
dS, 9. Expanse 2”. Fore-wing strongly arched before 
the apex, the latter shghtly produced, outer margin 
bowed outwards; hind-wing short, very little longer than 
the abdomen, anal angle produced. Wings black, glossed 
with rich blue ; fore-wing with a bent basal stripe traversed 
by the median nervure and its first branch, and a short belt 
crossed by three nervures before the apex ; hind-wing with 
a broad discal vitta traversed by the median and its two 
branches, white, semitransparent ; fore-wing with a glossy 
blue streak extending from the base along the postmediam 
nervure. Beneath, the same, except that the costa and 
abdominal edge of the hind-wing have a glossy light-blue 
streak. Body black, striped with bluish-white. Head 
(except the crown) and palpi clear rosy red. Antennas 
black. 
Found also at Para. Occurs, too, on the Upper 
Amazons as a local variety, wanting the red colour on 
the head behind the insertion of the antenne. 
Emesis Aurelia. 
Q. Expanse 1” 10”. Alhed to FH. Fatimella, Westw., 
but of a tawny duller hue; much less robust than 
BH. Mandana, Cramer, and differmg in the markings of 
the underside. Fore-wing with a moderate incurvation 
in the middle of the costa (as in H. Fatimella), apex 
markedly produced ; hind-wing forming an obtuse angle 
in the middle of the outer border, anal angle rounded off.
