234 Mr. L. B. Prout on 



middle femur and tibia tipped with fuscous. Abdomen 

 whitish, much marked with red-brown dorsally, except 

 towards anus. Fore wing with apex and tornus sharper than 

 in typical Blechroma ; delicate light green, slightly iridescent; 

 costa very narrowly yellowish; a bright red-brown basal 

 patch and moderate-sized red spot just outside cell, the latter 

 preceded by two much smaller spots of the same colour just 

 within cell, one at the base of R 2 , the other just below the 

 cell-fold ; five darker red-brown dots (on costa, C and SC at 

 3 mm., on M and SM at 4 mm.) represent the inner line ; 

 similar vein-dots from R 1 to inner margin near termen 

 represent a subterminal series, slightly curved backwards, 

 mostly very small, that on R 1 the largest ; some dark red- 

 brown dots between the central spot and costa ; a short dark 

 streak along SC 3 " 4 at apex, an amorphous dark blotch between 

 costa and SC 5 subapically and another proximally to it 

 between SC and R 1 , also numerous scattered dark dots in 

 this area ; dark spots on termen at ends of SC 5 , R 1 , R 3 , and. 

 SM 2 , that at R 3 large and extending conspicuously into 

 fringe; fringe pale. Hind wing with termen sinuous, slightly 

 produced at R 3 ; a bright red-brown basal patch, rather long 

 and narrow; very faint traces of a somewhat zigzag first line 

 with two conspicuous spots, on M at 3 mm. and on inner 

 margin at 4 mm. ; subterminal vein-dots as in fore wing ; 

 dark spots on termen at ends of R 1 , R 3 , and SM 2 , that on R 3 

 large and extending well into fringe. Underside paler, with 

 fewer markings ; fore wing with the apical and subapical as 

 above and a costal dark streak from base to one-fifth, hind 

 wing with a small dark spot in fringe at R 3 . 



Huancabamba, Cerro del Pasco, E. Peru. 



A very distinct species. Seems to be a true Blechroma, in 

 spite of slight differences in shape ; SC 1 of fore wing anasto- 

 moses rather strongly with C, whereas in conspersa, Warr. 

 Nov. Zool. xi. p. 502, and I suspect in the type of the genus, 

 it is free. 



Hydata propinqua, sp. n. 



<§ . 24 mm. — Face white, mixed with ochreous above; 

 antenna white, tinged with ochreous ; palpus ochreous, 

 terminal joint paler, whitish above. Fore wing, as in con- 

 geners, pale translucent green with strong iridescent 

 reflections ; costa pale ochreous ; some very faint reddish- 

 grey shading at base discernible by reason of its less trans- 

 parency : a moderate cell-spot ; a very indistinct purple-grey
