Mr. T. B. Fletcher on the genus Deuteroeopus. 141 
to f length of segment, base of first subsegment cut transversely by 
a narrow inwardly-oblique white line, second segment with a large 
and conspicuous patch of pure white at about \ length of segment 
resting on dorsum but not extending to fore-margin of segment; 
dorsum of wing with a few scattered wliitish scales between J and 
white ])atch. Cilia on costa and at apex blackish, dotted with 
whitish on basal half, wliite opposite white spots; within first cleft 
dark reddish-ferruginous with a purplish tinge, with a few white 
scales around base of cleft and some darker scales exteriorly ; on 
termen blackish ; within second cleft pale reddish-fuscous on 
basal half of lower-margin of first subsegment, followed by a 
narrow whitish patch ; around tornus blackish ; on dorsum fuscous- 
ferruginous, with a slight purplish-fuscous scale-tuft at f, followed 
by a broad patch of pure white extending half-way to tornus. 
Hindwing cleft from about f and i, first and second segments 
sublinear, second segment with hinder angle nearly obsolete, third 
segment linear: golden-ferruginous : first segment wholly blackish, 
with a broad white spot at about | opposite white patch on forewing ; 
second segment wholly blackish ; third segment about | length of 
second, apical fourth dark-purple. Cilia blackish on costa; white at 
apices of first and second segments, pale-fuscous within cleft, pale- 
ferruginous on basal half of lower margin of second segment, on 
second segment with a narrow ferruginous-fuscous scale-tuft on 
lower margin at i, on third segment pale-ferruginous, its apex 
broadly surrounded by a dark purplish-ferruginous scale-tooth, and 
a few scattered dark purplish-ferruginous scales between scale-tooth 
and base on fore-margin and dorsum. 
Type in British Museum Collection. 
Habitat. — Brazil, Ega {Bates). 
Observation. —In size, colour and general appearance 
L. sochehoroides exhibits a great resemblance to a species of 
Soclichora {S. albipunetella) which was also collected at Ega 
by Bates. Both show the same coppery-brown forevving, 
and both have a large and conspicuous white spot in about 
the same position, but whilst this spot in the Leptodeutero- 
copus is on the dorsal margin of the forewing, in the 
Soehchora it is on the tip of the first segment of the hind¬ 
wing. Thus the same effect is produced by two different 
methods.
