P. angustuSa FI dr. (9 e). Upperside of head and thorax, antenna and apex of abdomen blackish blue, 
underside of thorax and the abdomen red. Forewing narrow, dirty yellow, with purple gloss, a diffuse large 
spot in the distal area of the cell and the margins black. Basal half of the hindwing reddish yellow, distal 
area vitreous with the exception of the yellowish grey costal margin, fringes brownish black. Length of fore¬ 
wing 10 mm. — 1 $ (type) from the Amazon, in the Tring Museum. 
10. Genus: Scryda Wkr. 
Forewing with 12 veins, all free; hindwing with the connecting vein of costal and subcostal about 
as long as half the diameter of the cell, or shorter, upper angle of the cell less produced than the lower, or 
both at the same level. Foretibia with spur. 
S. cincta Wkr. Dull blue-black; antenna with faint blue-green gloss, the pectinations stout, the 
middle ones about three times as long as the diameter of the shaft. Segments 1 to 4 of abdomen entirely 
red. Wings narrow, forewing above dull blue-black, hindwing and underside of both wings blackish brown, 
with faint blue sheen. Apex of cell of liinclwing deeply angulate. Length of forewing 8 y 2 mm. — 1 $ (type) 
from the Amazon, in the Oxford Museum. 
S. isa spec. nov. (9 e). Like cincta , but the abdomen red only laterally on segments 1 to 3. Branch¬ 
es of antenna very thin, long, filiform, slightly incrassate towards the apex, far apart, the central ones 
about 6 times as long as the diameter of the shaft. Apex of cell of hindwing deeply angled. — 1 $ from 
Guayaquil, West Ecuador; the forewing very much worn. 
S. actinota spec. nov. (9 f). $: Body uniformly greenish blue. Antenna blue, distinctly incrassate distally, 
then pointed, the pectinations longest between the middle and apex, where they are 1 Ji as long again as the 
diameter of the shaft. Wings semitransparent, with very distinct dark veins, wings bluish green, elongate, 
elliptical, without hind angle. Hindwing and underside of both wings blue. Tongue dark. Length of forewing 
11 y 2 mm. — 1 $ from the Rio Aguaca Valley, West Colombia, found by A. H. Fassl at an altitude of 
about 2000 m. 
S. thyana Druce (9f). Body greenish black; tongue pale yellow. Wings semitransparent, black with 
faint dark edges, scales of underside hair-shaped. Teeth of antenna of $ long and thin. — Guatemala. 
S. glaucotis Hmps. (= mystica, Druce, nec Wkr., err. determ.) (9 f). Smaller than thyana, tongue 
blackish, pectinations of antenna of $ at most four times as long as they are broad. Otherwise like thyana. 
— Guatemala, 1 <§ in the British Museum. 
S. anacreon Druce (9 f). Broad-winged. Black, a spot between the antennae, a larger one at 
each side of the occiput, the collar (slightly interrupted in the middle) and the patagia, a median stripe 
on the mesonotum yellow, as is also the forewing, hindwing orange. Distal margin of forewing and apex of hind¬ 
wing very narrowly black, forewing likewise with faint black smear at the distal margin near the base. — 
Costa Rica, and Chiriqui in Panama. 
S. constans Edw. (9 f). Head, pro- and mesonota and forewing as well as the costal margin of hindwing 
orange-red. Antenna and abdomen bluish black, distal margin of forewing and the hindwing black. The 
black marginal band varies in width. Specimens which are yellow instead of orange-red are ab. sancta Neum. 
and Dyar (9 f). — Arizona and New Mexico. 
S. basirei Druce (9 f). Like the following species only known to me from Druce’s description and figure. 
Black; both wings with yellow costal margin. — Mexico: Vera Cruz. 
S. semifulva Druce (9 g). Almost like basirei, but the hindwing yellow with black marginal band. — 
Mexico: Vera Cruz. 
11. Genus: Harrisinopsis gen. nov. 
In the forewing 12 veins, subcostals 3 and 4 stalked, 5 originating near the 1st radial, in the 
hindwing 7 veins, all free, costal anastomosing with the cell for a short distance, the connecting vein bet¬ 
ween the costal and subcostal about as long as half the diameter of the cell, very oblique, upper angle of cell 
not produced further distad than the lower one. Antenna very stout, pointed, middle branches of pectinations 
about twice as long as the diameter of the shaft. Foretibia with stout spur. — Genotype: H. robusta spec. nov. 
H. robusta spec. nov. (9g). <$-. Antenna and body dull greenish blue, abdomen dull green, forewing 
above bluish green, upper side of hindwing and underside of both wings brownish black with greenish blue 
gloss in an oblique view, the metallic gloss everywhere faint. Tongue orange-red. — Amazons, 2 $$ in the 
Tring Museum. A densely scaled, opaque species distinguished by a very stout body.
