wing below, is also found in F. socrates, Menet., and the 

 red fore coxae are found in cleanthus, Latr,, and telmela, 

 Hew., which have been placed in this genus recently by 

 Mens. Mabille. 



Fyrrhopygopsis agaricon, sp. nov. (Plate XXI, fig. 12.) 



(J . Upper-side. Dark purple-brown with the basal areas of both 

 wings tawny. Cilia fuscous ; whitish towards the anal angle of both 

 wings. Under-side sage-green with the nervules black ; inner 

 margin of fore-wing broadly and unevenly black, the black area 

 extending well up to the subcostal nervure. The space between 

 vein 5 and the submedian nervure blackish-brown. Head, palpi, 

 collar and abdomen above and below, tawny. Four posterior 

 segments of abdomen ringed with black. Fore coxae conspicuously 

 tawny, rest of legs black. Antennae black. 



Expanse 2tV inch. 



Hah. Bogota, Colombia. 



There is a specimen in the British Museum from the 

 Crowley bequest. 



I have placed this insect in the genus Pyrrliopygopsis as 

 it has a long pencil of black hairs on the abdominal fold 

 of the hind-wing above and does not show any trace of a 

 costal fold in the fore- wing, but it seems to me to be 

 nearly allied to Phocides xantliotlirijx,, Mabille, the figure of 

 which in Novitates Lepid., pi. v, it closely resembles on 

 the under-side. The large tawny areas and the tawny 

 head and abdomen at once distinguish it. M. Mabille, 

 although he places E. tenebricosa, Hew,, in the genus 

 Fyrrhopygopsis still includes F. xantliotlirix in Fhocides 

 (Genera Insectorum, Fasc. xvii, p. 19, 1904),
