134 Mr. II, Campion on some 



half, dark orange-brown beyond ; 8 and 9 dark orange-brown ; 

 10 yellowisli brown. In ventral view segments 1-7 greenish 

 brown ; 8-10 deep yellow. Genitalia of segment 2 deeply 

 sunk in the genital fossa, and, being also thickly clothed 

 with hairs, are very difficult to examine. 



Anal appendages dark orange-brown, hairy. The upper 

 pair shorter than segments 9 and 10 taken together, divergent 

 tor more than iialf their length, then abruptly convergent; a 

 sharp triangular internal tooth before the inward bend. The 

 h)wer appendage veiy short, hairy, triangular, notched at the 

 apex. 



The second male (paratype) carries two white labels and a 

 green one, each of them inscribed in the same manner as the 

 corresponding label attached to the holotype. The abdomen 

 measures 45 mm., while the length of the hind wing and 

 ))terostigma remains as in the liolotype. At the margin of 

 the wing there are three cells between M2 and Rs in both fore 

 wings and possibly also in the left hind wing, while there 

 are two only in tlie right liind wing ; three cells between M3 

 and j\r4 in the riglit fore wing and two cells in the other tlin^e 

 wings ; four (three wings) to live (one wing) cells between 

 (Jui and Cug. In the fore wings there are 17-19 antenodals 

 and 10 postnodals ; in the hind wings 13-14 antenodals and 

 12-13 postnodals.

Each of these species was described from a unique male 

 specimen, the first from N.E. Brazil and the second from 

 Ecuador, and each of the descriptions was accompanied by a 

 single figure. Kirby's figirre represented the entire insect, 

 and was of litile scientific value, \\hile that given by Calvert 

 was a left profile view of the apical segments of tlie abdonieii. 

 The close relationship subsisting between the two species has 

 liitherto escaped attention, but, upon comparing with Kirby's 

 type (PI. VI. fig. 6) the anal appendages of G. camposi, as 

 fio'ured by Calvert, I found the resemblance to be so strong 

 that I was induced to read the description of G. camposi with 

 the type of G. caioerti before xne. Such differences as became 

 iipparent did not seem to afford any clear proof of specific dis- 

 tinctness, and correspondence with Dr. Calvert, who was kind 

 enough to re-examine the type of his own species, brought to
