408 Mr. A. G. Butler on new Genera 



Uformisj Walker, I. c. p. 16. n. 7, as a synonym of JE. anthra- 

 ciformis of Rambur. 



JE. pleciceformis and JE. emphytiformis of Walker appear 

 to me to be better placed in the genus Tarsa, the antenna? 

 being much more pectinated than in the other species of the 

 genus. 



JE. tryphoniformiSj JE. plectisciformis, and JE. ischniformis 

 (all from Pant only) are identical. 



JE. porizoniformis comes only from Para ; specimens 

 quoted from Tapajos and Villa Nova are referable to distinct 

 species. 



JE. panurgiformis occurs at Santarem, Tapajos, and Villa 

 Nova, but not at Para, specimens quoted from the latter 

 locality being referable to distinct species. 



JE. leiceformis may be referred to the genus Tinthia of 

 Walker. 



JE. cryptiformis might be placed in Sannina of Walker, of 

 which JE. exitiosa, Say (uroceriformts, Walk.), is the type. 



JE. crassicornis, Walker, Lep. Het. Suppl. i. p. 7 (1864), 

 would be better placed in Sincara of Walker ; it differs, how- 

 ever, from the type, in its tufted hind legs, which (unless a 

 sexual character) would entitle it to be ranked as the type of 

 a new genus. 



JE. cupreipennis would be better placed in Tinthia, with 

 which it agrees structurally. 



JE. gravis and JE. bicincta are referable to the section 

 Sciapte)'on } considered by Staudinger to be a distinct genus.
