Nab. Brazil, Ceara (Leech, Mus. D.). 



I am indebted to Mr. Leech for an example of this fine species, 

 which I have much pleasure in naming after him ; it was captured 

 by Mr. Leech at Ceara in August 1884. 



Subfam. Ctexuchinje. 

 EuAGEA, Walk.

 costal and inner margin ; a hyaline spot similar to that in Euagra 

 angelica, Butler, but shorter and broader, not reaching almost to 

 the base of the wing as in that species. Secondaries hyaline ; 

 the costal margin and apex broadly black ; the inner margin and 

 anal angle bright blue. L^'nderside as above, but with no blue on 

 the wings. Antennae, palpi, and legs black. Head bright red ;

Hub. Panama (Boiicard, Mus. D.). 



This species is allied to Euagra angelica, ButL, from which it is 

 at once distinguished by the bright red head and much shorter and 

 wider hyaline spot on the secondaries.
