wing vitreous. The abdomen ends in a thin truncate tuft of hair-scales. ■— West Colombia; A. H. Fassl 
found the species (only ?) in the bed of a river on wet stones. 
U. pusilla Wkr. Smaller than subcoeruleus , without anal tuft. Antenna and upper side of body metal¬ 
lic blue (wings strongly worn). — Venezuela, 2 $$ in the British Museum. 
Beside the forms mentioned above, the three following ones possibly also belong to the Zygaenids. 
As they are not mentioned among the Syntomids, Lithosiids or Arctiids in Hampson’s Lep. Phal., we here append 
descriptions of them. The species are unknown to me and the information given by the various authors 
about their structure is insufficient to identify the family to which the species belong. 
Lycomorpha chlora Schauf., Nung. Otiosus p. 11 (1870): Forewing above and underside of both 
wings green with blue edges, hindwing blackish; antenna filiform, blue with white apex. Expanse 24 to 29 mm. 
— Venezuela. 
Lycomorpha desertus Edw., Papilio I, p. 81 (1881): Sexes different. — : Wings orange with broad 
black marginal band, the inner margin of which is almost straight, not curved. Palpi and base of tibiae orange, 
antenna, abdomen and tarsi black. much larger than the <$; thorax and abdomen above and beneath, tibiae 
and tarsi orange, antenna blackish. Fore wing orange with 2 black transverse bands; hindwing orange with black 
marginal band. Expanse: <§ 20 mm, $ 32 mm. — Arizona. The two specimens were caught in copulation; 
they have disappeared. The species probably belongs to the Lithosiinae. 
Ira gundlachiana Neumoeg., Ent. Amer. 6, p. 64 (1890): Thorax and proximal half of abdomen rose-red, 
abdomen beneath white with black bands. Wings rose-red with black margins, forewing with 2 and hindwing 
with 1 white dot, forewing moreover with black vein-stripes and black discocellular spot, hindwing very small; 
with vitreous longitudinal stripe. — Cuba. Seems to belong to the Syntomids. Tibiae without spurs. 
In Urodus monura H.-Schdff., imitata Druce, modesta Druce, xylophila H.-Schdff., which appear in 
Kirby’s Catalogue among the “Pyromorphinae” (i. e. the American Zygaenids) a small cell is separated from 
the apical part of the cell of the forewing by an oblique vein running from the subcostal to the discocellular 
veins, as is frequently the case among the Tortricidae; these species, moreover, have two pairs of long spurs 
on the hindtibia, which does not occur in any American Zygaenid. These forms are Tortricidae. Aperla tinei- 
formis Wkr. (1856), of which the type is in the Oxford Museum, is identical with Urodus monura H.-Schdff. 
(1854).
