E. haemacera Hmps. (19 g). Black, the antennae are above scarlet, except the black base; forehips, haemacera. 
the second segment and the basal half of the third ventral segment white; on the 3 first abdominal rings lateral 
white and yellow streaks. The hyaline wings with fine brownish veins and margins are tinted orange-brownish 
in the costal-marginal half. Venezuela, Guiana, Amazon. 
E. eumenes H.-Schaff. (19 g). Body black; tips of antennae white; the abdomen exhibits lateral eumenes. 
white stripes on the 3 first rings. The costal halves of the hyaline wings are yellowish, the veins and margins 
narrowly black. Expanse of wings: 34 mm. Surinam; Brazil. 
78. Genus: Tirol a s hi Hmps. 
Palpi not so long-haired as in the preceding genus, the abdomen only very little strangulated, but also 
with lateral hair-tufts and a large anal tuft. On the forewings the upper median and the 2 lower radial veins 
rise separately; on the hindwings the middle median vein is nearer to the lower cell-angle from which the 1st 
median and the middle radial vein rise, the lowest radial being absent. 
U. opalocincta Druce (19 g). Body black, on the forehead, collar, shoulder-covers, hips, and meta - opalodnda. 
thorax metallic blue spots— the strangulated abdominal rings exhibit subdorsal, white, intensely opalescent 
bands and a silvery white underside, on the 5th and 6th segments sublateral silvery spots. The black marginal 
band of the forewing expands greatly towards the proximal angle, the hindwings are broadly bordered with 
black, the border growing narrower towards the proximal angle. French Guiana. 
U. albipuncta Druce has a bluish-black body with a white forehead. The base of the abdomen, dorsal dlbipunda. 
and sublateral rows of spots on the abdomen are white. Wings hyaline with a black distal and proximal margin 
and apex. Expanse of wings: 32 mm. Venezuela. 
U. brodea Schaus (19 g). The body is black, the abdomen above with bands of a blue lustre, brodea. 
beneath at the base with a white median stripe. Anterior side of the palpi, sides of the forehead, spots on the 
shoulders and hips white. Thorax and legs spotted blue. Wings hyaline with broad, black margins. Expanse 
of wings: 30 mm. Trinidad. 
79. Genus: Sesiura Hmps. 
By the abdomen being slightly strangulated only at the 5th and 6th segments and then growing broader 
again, the only species is separated from the preceding genus; lateral hair- and anal tufts as there; on the 
forewings the two lower radial veins rise contrariwise in common, on the hindwings the upper median and the 
middle radial vein rise separately, the lowest radial being absent. 
S. smaragdina Wkr. (= saturatissima Wkr.) (19 g) looks like a small Aethria leucaspis Cr. and is smarag- 
coloured and marked exactly the same way, but the white spots on the abdomen are absent. — Here the red 
anal tuft may also turn yellow: flava form. nov. (= ab, 1 . Hmps.) (19 g). — Both forms are widely distributed flam. 
from Venezuela, Guiana as far as the Amazon. 
80. Genus: Metastatia Btlr. 
In the veins no essential difference from Sesiura, only the uppermost subcostal vein does not rise from 
the cell, but in common with the other subcostal veins. The abdomen is somewhat strangulated at the second 
segment, the last ring exhibits lateral hair-tufts. The posterior tibiae are considerably expanded. 
M. pyrrhorrhoea Hbn. (19 h). Anterior body black, spotted white, the abdomen with a deep blue lustre pyrrlior- 
and with dorsal and lateral lines composed of white spots; anal tuft carmine; venter spotted white. The black 
forewings, with a slight blue lustre, exhibit a large, triangular, hyaline area in the basal half, and a postdiscal 
band; the hyaline hindwings a broad, black border; fringes at the anal angle white. British and French Guiana, 
Amazon. 
M. azurea Lathy differs from the preceding by its more extensive hyaline spots, a much brighter azurea. 
blue, the absence of white spots on the shoulders and prothorax, the shoulder-covers not being bordered with 
white, the ventral side being quite unicolorously greyish-white; beside the anal tuft, the whole last abdominal 
segment is carmine. Ecuador.
