86 PSEUDOMYA. By Dr. M. Draudt. 
I. multigutta Schaus (14 k). Body black. Collar, shoulders, the dorsum of the first abdominal ring 
and the base of the forewing with deep carmine spots; the other segments exhibit red subdorsal lines, the three 
first ones besides sublateral spots. Forehips and a broad band across the ventral valve white. Wings hyaline 
with a black discoidal and apical spot. Venezuela (Aroa). 
I. bricenoi Rothsch. (14 k) differs from the very similar preceding species by its larger size, greatly 
reduced red colour, the ventral valve being in its anterior half brown, and the antennae being strongly thickened 
and not serrate. Venezuela (Merida). 
I. tricincta H.-Schdff. (14 k) resembles the following, but it is larger and differs by its carmine neck 
and collar, the latter with a black middle spot, as well as carmine lateral spots on the 1st abdominal ring. Anus 
with some red hairs. Expanse of wings: 42 mm. Colombia; Brazil (Rio cle Janeiro, Sao Paulo). 
I. demona Druce. Forewing unicolorously black, the hindwing likewise black except a hyaline spot 
being situate below the cell and in the spaces behind the cell. Head black with metallic blue scales on the forehead. 
Palpal base orange-yellow; antennae black, before the tips white for about 3 mm in extent. Collar and thorax 
orange-yellow. Collar on each side with a metallic bluish-green spot. Forehips and base of femora red, legs 
otherwise black. Abdomen black, the first ring exhibits a small, orange dorsal spot, the 2 or 3 following rings 
subdorsal ones, on the dorsum and at the sides with metallic blue spots. Known only from Mexico (Jalapa). — 
f. orizabena form. nov. (141). From Orizaba (August) there is a form before me, which would perhaps be better 
regarded as a distinct species. It differs by the following marks: the distal, larger half of the collar black, with 
metallic blue spots; the metathorax exhibits a large, black spot with a metallic blue pupil, on the prothorax 
a silvery green, not carmine opalescent spot. The abdomen exhibits instead of one dorsal, two smaller subdorsal 
orange spots, the following 3 subdorsal ones are absent. The whole under surface, the 4 last abdominal rings 
also above, entirely metallic bluish-green. Type in the Coll. Draudt. — f. atra form. nov. I denominate another 
form from Mexico, in which the orange colouring of the thorax has disappeared altogether, only the two orange 
subdorsal abdominal spots being yet visible. 
I. improcera spec. nov. (14 1) greatly resembles the forma atra described above. The body is entirely 
black without any orange colouring. The palpi are quite black; the black antennae are white at the extreme 
tips (in the demona-iorms quoted above the tips themselves are black, while the white colour is only in front 
of them). Only the forehips are red, the legs otherwise quite black. Forehead, collar, meso- and metathorax, 
as well as the abdomen dorsally with metallic blue spots, broad metallic bluish-green lateral stripes. The wings 
like in the preceding, but the forewings at the base with metallic bluish-green spots. The inner-marginal area 
of the hinclwing more broadly hyaline. Panama (Chiriqui). (Bang-Haas). 
I. maura spec. nov. (141) is another species likewise greatly resembling the preceding, but immediately 
distinguishable by quite blackish-brown hindwings without any hyaline spots. The blackish-brown body is 
spotted metallic blue on the forehead and vertex, collar and metathorax; palpi, antennae and legs are black, 
forehips carmine. Shoulder-covers with orange stripes. Abdomen with dorsal and lateral rows of bluish-green 
spots. The blackish-brown forewings at the base with metallic blue spots. Described according to a male example 
in the Coll. Seitz, from Venezuela. 
I. quadrigutta Wkr. (14 1) is easily discernible from the similar species by white, not red forehips. On 
the shoulders and the first abdominal ring there are carmine spots. Body with metallic green spots. Wings 
like in the preceding, but the hindwings in the basal half hyaline. Expanse of wings: 34 mm. Mexico; Guatemala; 
Costa Rica. 
I. semiopaca Dogn. is coloured on the body like the preceding, but much smaller, and on the forewings 
there are hyaline spots between the veins, in and below the cell; those between the first median vein and the 
middle radial vein extend farther towards the margin than the others. Hindwings hyaline with a broad black 
border and costal margin. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Brazil (Sao Paulo). 
I. chrostosomides Schaus has a black body; a spot on the shoulder and a stripe on the shoulder- 
covers are red. Forehips and tibiae white-striped. Wings smoky brown hyaline with black veins, a broad black 
proximal margin and narrow apical spot. Hindwings covered with black scales except the proximal margin. 
Expanse of wings: 20 mm. French Guiana. 
I. chalcomedusa Druce (14 1). Blackish-brown with a metallic green abdomen being subdorsally 
black-striped. Forehead, collar, shoulders, meso- and metathorax with metallic blue spots; tips of antennae 
white. The veins of the brown forewings are slightly greenish-striped. Hindwings hyaline with a black margin. 
From Brazil (Amazon, Sa. Catharina, Parana). 
35. Genus: ^Pseualoinya Hubn. 
Distinguished from the closely allied genus Saurita by the very long hindlegs, the tibiae and tarsi of 
which are covered with scales. On the forewings the two lower radial veins do not quite rise from one place, 
but a little separately.
