and belongs to the Melamerida ; E. bipennis belongs to 

 the same family, in which it will constitute a new genus 

 allied to Mennis. 



290. Eudule sanguinea, n. sp. Hah. — Probably from Para. 

 Wings above bright brick-red, the primaries with costal 



margin and fringe black, the secondaries with the fringe 

 black; body pale olive-brown, the collar, tegulffi and mar- 

 gins of abdomen red ; wings below of a brighter colour, 

 Avith the outer border (as well as the fringe) and the costal 

 border of primaries brown; body below whity-brown: 

 expanse of wings 11 lines. 



Somewhat like the next species, but smaller, consider- 

 ably, darker in colour, and more elegantly formed. 



291. Eudule invaria = Ameria invaria, Wlk. Lep. Het. 2, 



p. 555. Hab. — Venezuela. 



292. Eudule conformis = Ameria conformis, Wlk. Lep. 



Het. 2, p. 555. J^a^.— Mexico. 



293. Eudule cupraria = Crocota cupraria, Wlk. Lep. 



Het. 2, p. 537. Hah. — Brazil and Venezuela. 

 I suspect that the Lithosia trichoptera of Perty is this 

 species. 



Leptidule, nov. gen. (PI. VIII. fig. 11.) 



Wings delicate, thinly clothed with scales, the costal 

 margin of primaries waved, the outer and inner margins 

 convex ; the discoidal cell very long and narrow ; first 

 branch of subcostal forked, the lower fork united by a 

 cross-vein to the second branch which emits three nervules 

 from its inferior margin ; the first of these nervules 

 answers to the upper radial; discocellulars oblique; the 

 lower radial emitted near the third median branch from 

 the inferior extremity of the cell, the second median near 

 the end of the cell, the first from about the middle of the 

 median nervure; secondaries almost circular; costal vein 

 absent ; subcostal three-branched ; upper discocellular 

 L— -shaped ; lower discocellular short and oblique ; the 

 radial and the two last branches of the median vein emit- 

 ted at equal distances: body slender, scarcely exceeding 

 the secondaries, the male with lateral anal tufts ; antennae 

 about half the length of the primaries, palpi small and 

 delicate; legs long and slender, the second pair of tibia3
