MEMBRACIS CONFUSA, Fairm. plate iv. fig. 23. 
Fairmaire’s description is far from explicit; but nevertheless he says it may be 
easily distinguished by an anterior band which reaches from the head to the 
shoulders, with a resemblance to M. arcuata (p. 247). One specimen in B.M. 
Habitat. —Rio Janeiro. 
MEMBRACIS EPHIPPIATA, Stal. 
Membracis arcuata, Fairm. nec Oliv. 
One specimen in B.M. 
Habitat. —Brazil. 
MEMBRACIS SURGENS, Walk. l.c. (Z), p. 475. 
Ha bit at. —Brazil. 
MEMBRACIS (?) PERUVIANA, Fairm. plate iv. fig. 26. 
There is a specimen thus named in the B.M. which is certainly not this species, 
as it wants the first pale spot which appears in Fairmaire’s figure and description 
(p. 249.) 
Habitat. —Chili. 
MEMBRACIS INTERMEDIA, Fairm. p. 249. 
Fairmaire says this insect little differs from M. peruviana. 
Habitat. —Brazil. 
MEMBRACIS (?) MARGIN ALIS, Walk. l.c. (Z), p. 479. 
A very aberrant species. Two B.M. specimens. 
Habitat. —Para. 
MEMBRACIS TRICOLOR, Fairm. p. 249. 
Fairmaire says, “Nigra, fascia antica longitudinali albida, macula postica flava.” 
There are two specimens of M. singutata in the B.M. which may be referred to this 
species; from Para and St. Paul’s (Amazons). They may be also compared with 
M. curvilinea. 
Habitat. —Colombia, Brazil.
