LEPIDOPTERA OF THE FAMILY ZYQjffiNIDJE. 379 



6. E. VESPIFORMIS, n. sp. 



Allied to the preceding species and to E. machilis ; differs from the latter 

 as follows : all the wing-veins black, the margins also more distinctly 

 black, the costal area of primaries much less tawny ; subanal black 

 spot of secondaries shorter and broader ; antennae bright tawny, all 

 the tawny markings upon the body replaced by black, the femora and 

 tibije above with a black streak ; the metathorax and first three basal 

 segments of abdomen yellow in front and at the sides, and black 

 behind ; the latei al lilac streak narrower : expanse of wings 42 

 niillims. 



Villa Nova {Bates). Three examples, B.M. 



This is certainly the best imitation of a wasp in the genus ; it 

 is a beautiful species and well marked. 



7. E. MACHILIS = Laemocharis machilis, Herrich-Schdffer, Auss. 

 Schnett. fig. 245. 



Villa Nova, St. Paulo, and Ega (Bates). B.M, 



8. E. PORPHYRIA = Glaucopis (Isanthrene) porphyria. Walker, Lep 

 Het. i. p. 157. 



Ega and Para (Bates). Type, B.M. 



The Spliinx porphyria of Cramer does not even belong to this 

 family ; Walker cannot have looked at the figure. 



9. E. VESPARIA = Glaucopis vesparia, Perty, Delect. Anlm. pi. 31. 

 fig. 9. 



Villa Nova (Ea^es). Type, B.M. 



Perty's figure represents this species as stouter than it actu- 

 ally is. 



10. E. HiLARis = Poecilosoma hilaris, Walker, Lep. Het. Suppl. i. 

 p. 88. 



Ega (Bates). Type, B.M. 



Somewhat like Somoeoeera StretcMi, but allied to H. vesparia. 



11. E. NiGERRiMA = Gymneha nigerrima. Walker, Lep. Het. Suppl. 

 i. p. 86. 



Ega {Bates). Type, B.M. 



12. E. coNTRACTA = Laemocharis contracta. Walker, Lep, Het. vii.
