234 Mr. L. B. Piout on 



middle femur and tibia tipped with fuscous. Abdomen 

 whitish, much marked with red-brown dorsally, except 

 towards aniis. Fore winfj with apex and tornus sharper than 

 in typical Bhchroina ; delicate liglit 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-, 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^ to inner margin near termeu 

 represent a subterminal series, slightly curved backwards, 

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

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

 streak along SC^~* at apex, an amorphous dark blotch between 

 costa and SC** subapically and another proximally to it 

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

 this area; dark spots on termen at ends of SC^, R^, R^, and 

 SIVP, that at R^ large and extending conspicuously into 

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

 produced at R^; a bright red-browu 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^, R^, and SM^, that on K^ 

 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^. 



Huancabamba, Cerro del Pasco, E. Peru. 



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

 spite of slight differences in shape ; SC 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 projjinqua, sp. n. 



cJ . 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
