fig. 16) the species of Fabricius, which is quite distinct from 

 Walker's species and evidently belongs to another genus. 

 Signoret also mentions that it is contained in the " Coll. 

 Banks " under the name of cceruleopennis, Fabr. The 

 Eauksian Collection in the British Museum contains no such 

 species, and Fabricius described both his caruleopennis and 

 ccerulescens as " Dom. de Billardiere." Walker's type is 

 unlocalized, but is certainly Neotropical, as proved by other 

 specimens. 



Abana tissa, sp. n. 



Vertex, pronotum, and scutellum dark castaneous ; abdo- 

 men above bluish black ; body beneath and legs castaneous ; 

 cheeks, inner area of prosternum, disks and lateral margins 

 of meso- and metasterna, and the margins to the abdominal 

 segments beneath flavescent ; tegmina castaneous, with three 

 short longitudinal flavescent fasciae on disk above the claval 

 suture ; wings pale fuscous, the veins black ; vertex as long 

 as breadth between eyes, obtusely rounded in front, ante- 

 riorly narrowed, apically centrally foveately depressed and 

 with a central longitudinal incised line on basal area ; face 

 elongate, centrally broadly longitudinally flattened and 

 obscurely striate, a short central ridge at the base, lateral 

 areas transversely striate ; clypeus centrally angularly 

 elevated; pronotum coarsely granulose; scutellum trans- 

 versely laterally striate on apical area, where it is also 

 centrally depressed ; tegmina more or less strongly granulose 

 at margins of the veins, more coarsely so on claval area. 



Long., exel. tegm., 18 mm. ; exp. tegm. 32 mm. 



Hab. Ecuador ; Cachabe (Rosenberg, Brit. Mus.). 



Abana drusilla, sp. n. 



Vertex greyish, the basal margin angularly enlarged on 

 each side and almost enclosing the ocelli, black; pronotum 

 and scutellum ochraceous, the former a little narrowly 

 piceous on anterior margin; body beneath pale greyish or 

 flavescent ; face (excluding about basal half) and clypeus 

 umber-brown ; inner margins of cheeks, disk of sternum, 

 curved longitudinal fasciae to lateral areas of meso- and 

 metasterna, and broad segmental margins to abdomen 

 beneath, black or piceous black ; legs yellowish ; tegmina 

 ochraceous, on nearly apical half piceous between the veins; 

 vertex about as long as breadth between eyes, centrally 

 slightly longitudinally depressed ; face centrally broadly 

 flattened and finely longitudinally striate, the lateral areas
