obliquely basad, the hind angle of the cell less strongly produced than in radialis. — Guatemala. 
M. josialis Druce (9 b). Head and sides of thorax and abdomen yellow. Wings black, costal and hind josialis. 
margins of both wings yellow, in the hindmarginal streak of the forewing an abbreviated blue-black streak. 
In the forewing subcostals 4 and 5 stalked; connecting vein between costal and subcostal of hindwing 
oblique. — Guatemala. 
b) Forewing uniformly dark without yellow or red. 
M. timon Druce (9 b). Blue-black; hindwing carmine with narrow black marginal band. Veins of fore- timon. 
wing from the cell, costal vein of hindwing anastomosing with the cell for a short distance. — Costa 
Rica. 
M. morio Druce (9 c). Blue-black, abdomen red laterally, hindwing blue. Venation as in timon. — Gua- morio. 
temala and Costa Rica. 
M. xanthura spec. nov. (9 c). Uniformly glossy blue, upperside of hindwing, the abdomen and the xanthura. 
entire underside tinged with green; the last 2 (above) or 3 (below) abdominal segments orange, with slight 
purple sheen. Tongue dirty yellowish brown. Antenna pointed, bipectinate, the middle teeth about 4 or 5 
times as long as they are broad, all scaled. Spur of foretibia distinct. Veins of forewing from the cell 
(left wing) or subcostals 4 or 5 stalked (right wing); in the hindwing the costal anastomosing with the cell 
for a long distance, connecting vein between costal and subcostal oblique and short; in both wings the 
lower median far proximal and in the hindwing the upper median about in the middle between the lower 
median and the third radial (as in timon and morio). Length of forewing 15 mm. — 1 $ from Ecuador, 
without any more exact locality (obtained from Herr Neitburger, Berlin) in the Tring Museum. 
M. fusca Edw. (= lanclia Druce) (9 c). Body yellow, upperside of head and abdomen blackish, underside fusca. 
of abdomen with broad black stripe, legs to the greater extent dirty yellowish brown. Antennae blue-black. 
Forewing semitransparent, uniformly brownish black, in oblique aspect with blue sheen, scales very narrow, 
almost like hair. In the forewing the veins from the cell, but subcostals 3 and 4 usually from one point 
(probably sometimes stalked), in the hindwing the connecting vein between the costal and subcostal short, 
oblique. — Arizona, and Sonora in Mexico. 
M. marteriii French (= barnea Druce) (9 c). Black, faintly metallic, in the <$ the inner side of the martenii. 
forecoxa and forefemur yellowish. Wings semitransparent, scales hair-shaped, denser hr the $ than in the <$. 
Venation as in fusca. — Arizona, New Mexico, Sonora in Mexico. 
M. thyesfa Druce (9 c). Similar to the preceding species, but the anterior portion of the thorax and thyestci. 
the occiput yellow. Subcostal 2 of the forewing sometimes absent. —■ Guatemala. 
3. Genus: Goiiioprocris gen. nov. 
Like Malthaca, but the upper angle of the cell of the hindwing much further produced than the lower 
angle, connecting vein between costal and subcostal long, radials 1 and 2 of hindwing from the point of 
the upper angle, but separate, cell between radials 2 and 3 deeply angulate, the upper arm of the angle 
longer than the lower one. In the forewing the veins from the cell. — Genotype: G. xena spec. nov. 
G. xena spec. nov. : Brownish black, with slight purple sheen, thorax above slightly yellowish, underside xena. 
of head, thorax and abdomen pale yellow, likewise the larger portion of the underside of the legs. Frons 
broader than one eye (in a frontal view). Antenna with long pectinations, serrate at the tip. Forewing 
semitransparent, hairy, narrow, yellowish grey to the apex of the cell, the veins and a cell-spot blackish, 
outer area, also blackish, in every cellule two yellowish grey stripes which unite forming an ellipse, a diffuse 
black discocellular band without yellowish grey scales, cell stalked, median and subcostal veins touching. 
Hindwing vitreous, very sparsely hairy, fringes black with yellowish grey spot below the 2nd median vein, 
a yellowish grey postmedian spot below the submedian 2. — 1 $ in the British Museum, from the Vulcano 
de Agua, Guatemala, 8500 to 10 500 feet (Champion). 
G. megalops Druce (9 c). Frons narrow, eyes large. Body black with a green gloss. Wings green, megatons. 
semitransparent. — Guatemala. 
4. Genus: Pseudoproeris Druce. 
Like Malthaca, but the antennae simple, incrassate distally much as in Zygaena, densely scaled with the 
exception of the underside of the club. Veins of forewing from the cell; in the hindwing the connecting 
vein between the costal and subcostal long. 
P. gracilis Druce (9 d). Body, antenna and legs glossy bluish green. Forewing dull bluish green; hind- gracilis. 
wing transparent with dark edges; below both wings with blue-green gloss, which is stronger on the hindwing 
than on the forewing. —- Mexico: Vera Cruz.
