and Sjyecies of iEgeriidaj. 409 



Expanse of wings 17 millimetres; length of body 9 milli- 

 metres. 



Espiritu Santo (Higgins). Type, B.M. 



Not nearly allied to any other species ; perhaps best placed 

 near JE. unicolor, Walk. 



JEgeria deceptura, n. sp. 



Wings above hyaline, veins black ; primaries with costal 

 margin purplish black ; inner margin, a band crossing the 

 wing at end of cell, and a broad outer marginal border bronzy 

 brown ; secondaries with a linear bronzy brown marginal 

 border ; fringe pale brown : head above black, crest green, 

 below silvery white ; palpi creamy white, ferruginous towards 

 the tips ; antennae clay-coloured, club black : thorax above 

 dark green ; pterygodes edged internally with gold, below 

 shining cream-coloured ; femora of first pair of legs cream- 

 coloured (tibiae and tarsi?), of second and third pairs steel- 

 colour, varied with purple ; tibiae and tarsi of second pair 

 cream-coloured, of third pair purplish blue, banded with cream- 

 colour ; spines as in preceding species, but cream-coloured : 

 abdomen above and below dark green, encircled by three 

 equidistant creamy-golden bands, and between them by two 

 indistinct coppery bands ; an oblique lateral golden streak at 

 base ; anal tuft brown, purplish in some lights, tipped with 

 white at the sides. 



Expanse of wings 16 millimetres; length of body 9 milli- 

 metres. 



Santa Marta (Bouchard). Type, B.M. 



Allied to jE. porizoniformis, Walk. 



The 2E. basalis ( $ ) of Walker, from Ega, is a distinct 

 species, and probably referable to his genus Sincara, the an- 

 tennas being very short and thick and the abdomen distinctly 

 fusiform and differently coloured from that of the male ; but, as 

 we have at present only one example of each sex, I hesitate 

 to separate them generically ; I shall therefore content myself 

 with proposing for the female the name of JE. confusa. 



Eueyphrissa, n. gen. 



Secondary wings and body broader than in JEgeria ; second 

 pair of legs densely clothed with long scales, but scarcely plu- 

 mose, with two robust long diverging terminal spines ; hind 

 pair of legs rather short; tibiae densely clothed with long 

 scales, elongated beyond the middle on the outer margin into 

 a large wide brush 2 millimetres in length ; two long central 

 and two shorter terminal spines. 



Type Algeria plumipes, Walker, from Ega.
