and Species of JEgeriidx. 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 ^. u7iicolor, Walk. 



j^geria 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; antennce clay-coloured, club black: thorax above' 

 dark green ; pteiygodes 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 ; tibiaj 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 ^. porizoniformisj Walk. 



The j3i]. basalts (?) of Walker, from Ega, is a distinct 

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

 tennge 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 ^. confusa. 



EURYPHRISSA, 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 ; tibial 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 j^geria plumipes^ Walker, from Ega.
