wings narrowly black, the cellular and submedian folds of the forewing likewise black, with faint purple sheen. 
Forewing with 12 veins, subcostals 2 and 4 stalked; in the hindwing the costal and subcostal on a short 
stalk, the cross-veins very oblique, not angled. Length of forewing 11 mm. — Mexico: Vera Cruz. 
ML chalcina .spec. nov. $: Dull bluish green, distinctly glossy in an oblique view. Pectinations of antenna 
pointed, the longest of them only slightly longer than the shaft is broad. Foretibia without sqmr. Wings 
more strongly rounded distally and posteriorly than in americana, broader, semitransparent; forewing with 10 
veins, as in the right forewing 2 subcostal branches and in the left a radial and a subcostal are absent, 
in the left wing the two middle subcostals stalked; the lower median branch much more proximal than the first 
subcostal in both wings; in the hindwing the costal and subcostal on a short stalk, the cross-vein between 
this stalk and the next vein deeply and almost acutely angled, the upper arm of the angle twice as long 
as the Jower, the radial and median veins further apart than in americana. Length of forewing 13 mm. 
— 1 $ in the Oxford Museum (ex coll. Westwood) from Mexico. 
H. virescens Hmps. (9h). <$-. Slightly glossy, body blue-green, forewing more purplish blue ; hindwing 
semitransparent, brownish black with purple gloss. Abdomen with a small red lateral stripe at the base. 
Forewing with 12 veins, narrow. Foretibia without spur. — Brazil: Petropolis. 
H. janeira Schaus (9 h). Like the preceding, but the 2nd and 3rd abdominal segments red. — Bra¬ 
zil: Petropolis. Not known to me in nature; perhaps not specifically different from virescens. 
H. venata spec. nov. (9h). <$: Body uniformly dull greenish blue. Foretibia with spur. Wings semi¬ 
transparent, forewing bluish green with the veins more densely scaled, outer margin half as long as the wing, 
hind angle distinct, 12 veins, the lower median less proximal than usual. Hindwing with very narrow dark 
margin, and dark fringes, the scaling the same in colour as on the forewing, but sparse. The under¬ 
side of the forewing paler than the upper, the costal margin of both wings strongly metallic green-blue, frin¬ 
ges dark blue-green as above. Length of forewing 11 mm. — 1 from Santa Catharina, Brazil. 
H. invaria Wkr. (9 i). Narrow winged and small. Blue-black, the upperside of the forewing, the 
apex of the hindwing and beneath also the apex of the forewing purple; hindwing and abdomen black, with 
slight green and purple sheen. Forewing with 12 veins, connecting vein of subcostal and costal of hind¬ 
wing short. — Santarem, Amazonas. 
H. Septa spec. nov. (9 i). $: Body blackish blue, wings purple-blue, antenna bipectinate, the teeth 
stout, the middle ones scarcely as long as the diameter of the shaft, the latter very slightly incrassate distally. 
Foretibia without spur. Forewing with 12 veins, subcostal 1 and median 2 rather far proximal, median 1 
near the angle of cell; hindwing small, subcostal and costal stalked, apex of cell very oblique, median 2 near 1, 
the two veins almost 3 times as far apart at the margin as at the cell. — 1 $ from the Rio Agnaca 
Valley in West-Colombia, found by A. H. Fassl at an altitude of 2000 m. 
H. tergina spec. nov. (9 i). Dull greenish black. The central pectinations of the antenna somewhat 
longer than the diameter of the shaft. Foretibia without spur. Wings semitransparent, with dark veins, the 
scales much more deeply incised than in the two preceding species, and the fringe-scales more deeply slit. 
Forewing with 12 veins, median 2 far proximal, median 1 almost in the middle between median 2 and ra¬ 
dial 3, in the hindwing the subcostal branching off from the cell, cross-veins from the subcostal to the 
lower angle very slightly oblique, angled before the 2nd radial, 2nd median approaching the first, which is in the 
middle between the 2nd median and 3rd radial. Length of forewing 13 mm. — J £ from Rio Dagua, West- 
Colombia, collected by F. W. H. Rosenberg. 
H. lustrans Beutenm. (9 i). A large broad-winged species. Body and upperside of forewing blue-green, 
hindwing and underside of both wings purple-blue. Forewing with 11 or 12 veins, median 2 far proximal, 
1st median approaching the angle of the cell, in the hindwing the apex of the cell strongly angulate. — 
Colorado and Mexico (Mexico City, teste Dyar). 
H. cyanea Barn, and McDun. Much smaller than lustrans, deep metallic blue or green. Forewing with 
11 veins, subcostals 2 and 4 stalked (3 absent); in the hindwing the costal and subcostal on a short stalk or 
originating from the cell close together, upper angle of cell produced somewhat further than the lower. — Ari¬ 
zona. 
H. (?) chalestra Druce, described as Procris (?) ch. as follows. “Male. — Head, antennae, thorax, 
abdomen, and legs bluish black. Primaries semihyaline black, darkest at the base: secondaries hyaline, broadly 
black at the apex and round the outer margin. Expanse 1 inch”. — Costa Rica; in coll. Dritce, which has 
lately been acquired by Mr. Joicey. 
H. (?) aversus Hy. Edw. Described as Triprocris. Not known to me; its position is questionable. 
“Primaries, lower side of all the wings, and upper side of abdomen bright greenish black. Secondaries above, 
and all the rest of the body dull black. The wings are narrower and longer than in any of the allied species. 
It is nearest to T. atrata French, from Arizona. 1 $. Exp. wings 28 mm. Length of body 9 mm”. — Mexico: 
Vera Cruz. — “T. atrata ” is a nom. in lift.
