tinuous) and 9-10 postnodal cross-nervules (9 on the right side, 

 10 on the left), the first not continuous. Fore wings with the 

 triangles rather small, very oblique, traversed, and extending 

 considerably beyond those of the hind wings ; subtriangular 

 space composed of three cells; triangle followed by one row 

 of three cells, and then by several rows of two cells, increasing 

 beyond the middle ; no supra-triangular nervules ; lower basal 

 cell with 2-3 cross-nervules. Hind wings with the triangle 

 small, open, not extending to the arculus, and followed by a 

 single row of cells, increasing ; no supra-triangular nervules ; 

 4 cross-nervules in the lower basal cell. 



Female. — Like the male, but testaceous, the thorax and 

 pleura lined with black, and transversely with ripj)le-like 

 brown markings from the central carina of the thorax to below 

 the uj)permost black line on the pleura; about the middle of 

 the pleura are two black spots. Abdomen with all the carin^e 

 black and with black blotches on the sides towards the extre- 

 mity of segment 4 and those following it ; the hinder segments 

 have the dark space increasing till it covers a large part of 

 the segments above as well as at the sides. 



Wings clearer hyaline and the pterostigma brown ; other- 

 wise as in the male. 



Gurupji, Jan. 23 and Feb. 22, 1896. 



Two males ; a female from Parii was previously in the 

 collection. 



Allied to U. infumata, Rambur, but in the latter species 

 the wings are banded with purplish brown, and the anal 

 appendages are yellow. 



Genus Macrotiiemis, Hagen. 



Macrotheviis celeno (?).

Pard, Jan. 5 ; \V. end of Parand de Buyassu, Jan. 13, 

 1896. 



Four males and one female. They agree fairly well with 

 the jniblished descriptions of ^I. celeno ; but, in the absence 

 of specimens from Cuba, I c.mnot foci absolutely certain of 

 the correctness of the identitication. 



Genus Ehodopygia, Kirb. 



Ehodoj^ygia cardinalis.
