SUBFAMILIES ANTIC HLOBUS"^ AND CJIARIDKIN.E. 417 



13. C. BivuLNERA, Grote. 



Orizaba, Mexico (Botteri). B.M. 



Is not this lovely little insect the male of G. hella ? 



14. C. GLORiosA. = Eucliromia (Autoinolis) gloriosa, Walker, Lep. Het. 

 i. p. 215. 



Guatemala (Salle). Type, B.M. 



Nearly allied to C. bivulnera. 



15. C. jucuNDA=Euchromia (Autoinolis) jucuntla. Walker, Lep. Het. 

 p. 16. 



Charidea fastuosa, Menetries, Cat. ii. t. xiv. fig. 8. 



Brazil {Becker), Rio (J. P. G. Smith), Espiiitu Santo (Stevens). 



Type, B.M. 



I have little doubt that Cijanopepla and Entomis of Felder 

 are identical with Charidea. Cyanopepla eucyane, which is in 

 Mr. Druce's collection, does not difier in structure. 



G-enus Heliuea, n. gen. PI. XXIX. figs. 13, 17. 

 Allied to Charidea ; males generally with a broad caudate ter- 

 mination to the anal angle of posterior wing, emitting from the 

 back a radiating compressed brush of stiff hairs ; the subcostal 

 nervure with three branches, the first ill-defined in the female, 

 emitted before the end of the cell, the second and third forming 

 a fork from the anterior extremity ; discocellulars forming 

 a sickle-shaped line, the upper one being considerably longer 

 than the lower and distinctly inarched ; second and third me- 

 dian branches emitted together from a footstalk at posterior 

 extremity of cell. Type H. solicauda, n. sp. 



1. Heliura apicalis, Herrich-ScMffer, Auss. Schmett, i. f. 236. 

 Euchi-omia albiplaga. Walker, Lep. Het. i. p. 218. 



Brazil (Mornay), Venezuela (Dyson). B.M. 



This species (PI. XXIX. fig. 9) is somewhat abnormal, the sexes 

 being apparently alike and somewhat resembling Charidea in their 

 eminently metallic coloration ; it is, however, so nearly allied to 

 H. thetis and tenens in other respects that I have not thought it 

 worth while to place it in a separate genus. Mr. Walker errone- 

 ously referred it to his genus Sisticea. 



2. H. CAPYS=Zygsena capys, Fabricius, Sp. Ins. ii. p. 166. n. 4S. 

 Surinam . 



3. H. LACTEINOTA, n. Sp. 



Euchromia (Dipsenje) capys, var. ? Walker, Lep. Hel. i. p. 262. 

 Tapajos and Ega {Bates). Type, B.M.
