382 Mil. A. G. BUTLER O^ THE 



Genus Akbrekimoepha, b. gen. PL XXVII. fig. 10. 



Allied to Qymnelia, but the primaries broader, tlie upper radial 

 invisible (as also the recurrent nervure *), consequently only one 

 discocellular nervure strongly angulated in the centre, the third 

 median and the lower radial emitted together from a short foot- 

 stalk ; abdomen more distinctly separated from the thorax than 

 in Gymnelia. Type, G. xantlwgastra, Perty.

Nearly allied to the preceding species, and quite distinct from 

 Sphinx leucaspis of Gmelin, with which Walker has associated it.

The genus Gymnelia, as above restricted, forms a very natural 

 little group of bee-like species, all of them characterized (as to 

 markings) by a broad black border to the wings and a broad black 

 fascia or elongated spot upon the discocellulars of primaries ; they 

 all have black bodies with metallic bluish lateral spots upon the 

 abdomen ; and five out of the six species have the anal segmejits 

 more or less tawny ; they have the discocellulars of primaries 

 nearly in a straight line and transverse. 



* The recmi'ent nervure is represented in Pertj's figure ; so that this is appa- 

 yentlv a variable character.
