The species figured by Swainson and Duncan is quite 

 distinct from that figured by Cramer, and requires to be named. 

 The specimens before me are identical with both figures 

 above quoted, 



Anthomyza brotes, sp. n. 



]\[ale. — Primaries deep black, crossed by two pale yellow 

 bands, the first about the middle, the second beyond near the 

 apex, the veins crossing the yellow bands black ; four small 

 white dots at the apex and two close to the anal angle ; the 

 fringe black : secondaries pale primrose-yellow, very broadly 

 bordered with black ; the veins black ; a spot at the apex 

 and four small dots on the outer margin near the anal angle 

 all white. Head, antennae, and thorax deep black ; abdomen 

 blackish brown, on the underside pale cream-colour; legs 

 black above, yellowish white on the underside. — Female very 

 similar to the male, but slightly larger. 



Expanse, ,^ 3, ? 3^ inches. 



Bab. British Guiana (Mus. Druce). 



Anthomyza praxila J sp. n. 



Male. — Primaries black, with three while spots on the 

 costal margin close to the base and a triangular yellow mark 

 on the inner margin near the base ; a wide semihyaline band 

 crosses the wing about the middle from the costal margin 

 almost to the inner margin, but not quite reaching it, beyond 

 which a narrow semihyaline band partly crosses the wing- 

 near the apex ; a submarginal row of seven white spots extends 

 from the apex to the anal angle : secondaries semihyaline 

 from the base to about the middle ; the outer half of the wing 

 deep black, with a marginal row of large white spots ex- 

 tending from the apex to the anal angle. Head, antennse, 

 thorax, and upperside of abdomen black, the underside yel- 

 lowish; the base of the thorax banded with white. — Female 

 similar to the male. 



Expanse, ^ ? , 3^ inches. 



Hab. Colombia {Mus. Druce). 



Anthomyza Buckley i^ sp. n. 



Male. — Primaries brownish hyaline; the base, a band 

 crossing the wing at the end of the cell, the apex, costal, outer, 

 and part of the inner margin all black ; the costal margin 

 close to the base spotted with yellowish white ; a triangular 

 yellowish-brown mark on the inner margin ; four white dots 

 on the apex and two on the outer margin near the anal angle :
