Genus LepeicorniSj Felder. 

 Lepricornis atricolor^ n. sp. 



<J $ . Alse supra aterrimae cinereo strigatse : anticse area apicali 

 omnino nigra ; macula subapicali obliqua alba : corpus uigrum, 

 coUo, ano, palpisque aurantiacis. 



Alse subtus strigis internervularibus magis distinctis, partim albis; 

 macula anticarum longiore, aliter velut supra. 



Exp. alar. unc. 1, lin. 3 usque unc. 1, lin, 6. 



Hah. Brazil {Rogers). Coll. Saunders. 



This species is allied to L. melanchroia, but differs in its 

 smaller size and in the much smaller and shorter subapical 

 band or spot. It has somewhat the aspect of a moth, on ac- 

 count of the thickness of the antennas ; but the aborted front 

 legs prove it at once to be an Erycinide, allied to Barhicornis, 

 as determined by Dr. Felder. 



Family Papilionidse. 



Subfamily Piebinje (Swainson), Bates. 



Genus Hesperochaeis, Felder. 



Hesperocharis fulvinota.) n. sp. 



cJ . Alge anticas supra albse, basi minime flavesccntes ; costa nigra ; 

 apice, stria obliqua subapicali, et margiiie externo angulis alteruis 

 decrescente, nigris : posticae Isetissime flavse, stria subcostali 

 maculisque sex submarginalibus difFusis fulvis, vel pallide auran- 

 tiacis : corpus nigrescens, abdomine a latere flavido. 



Alae subtus fere velut in H. Hirlanda : posticae stria maculari sub- 

 marginali aurantiaca (vix rubra). 



Exp. alar. unc. 2, lin. 10.

Genus Telegonus, Hiibner. 



Telegonus Omphale, n. sp. 



Alae supra nigro-fuscae, cupreo tinctas : antiese basi nitide caeruleo- 

 viridi micantes ; fascia postmedia obliqua fulva hj-aHua, a vcnis 

 intersecta : posticae dimidio abdominali nitide virescente ; margine 

 intemo fulvo tincto : corpus viride, abdomine certo situ grises- 

 cente, antennis nigris. 



Alae subtus fere velut supra : posticae autem latins viresccntes.
