PSEUDARGYROEIDES; ECDEMUS; AGUNAIX; CERCOPIMORPHA. By Dr. M. Dbatjdt. 
zethus. A. zethus Hbn. (19 k). Body yellow and orange; palpi, vertex, and thorax banded black, as well as 
the borders of the collar and of the shoulder-covers. Wings hyaline, with fine black veins and borders, at 
the costa and proximal margin striped orange, the fringes brownish. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Para; Argentina. 
moza. A. moza Druce (19 k) is the only species known hitherto with an almost entirely black body exhi¬ 
biting a red anal tuft; the second strangulated segment is laterally and beneath white, and besides, the sides 
of the forehead, the shoulders, the metathorax and the hips are spotted white. The yellowish hyaline wings 
show a red costal-marginal stripe and black narrow margins. Panama (Chiriqui). 
82. Genus: Pseudiirg-yroeides Klages. 
Distinguished from the preceding bv shorter palpi, the shaft of the antennae being thickened in the 
middle also in the the anterior and middle tibiae being roughly scaled; not only the 2nd, but also the 3rd 
abdominal ring strangulated. On the forewings the uppermost radial vein rises from below the upper cell-angle, 
otherwise as in Abrochia. Only one species. 
caurensis. P. caurensis Klages greatly resembles Argyroeides suapurensis. The body is blackish-brown; palpal 
ends anteriorly orange. Spots on the sides of the forehead, neck, collar, thorax, as well as the borders of 
the shoulder-covers yellow-haired. Behind the eyes metallic green stripes, on the metathorax a lustrous blue 
spot. The 2 first abdominal rings above spotted yellow, the 3 next ones margined by yellow. Wings yellowish 
hyaline, veins and margins blackish-brown, so is a discal streak and an apical spot, the proximal margin of 
the hindwing black-haired. Expanse of wings: 29 mm. Venezuela. 
83. Genus: Kcileums H.-Schdff. 
The erect palpi extend just as far as the vertex. The cell of the forewing is very long, narrowed towards 
the apex, so that the transverse vein grows very short. The median veins and the lower radial vein rise in 
long interspaces before the lower cell-angle, the upper radial from below the upper cell-angle, the 3 lowest sub¬ 
costal veins petioled, both the upper ones from the cell. On the hindwings it is just the same: the median 
and lower radial veins all rise at about the same distance from each other, the transverse vein is very short: 
the subcostal vein and the uppermost radial vein rise here long-petioled. Only two species known. 
hypoleucus. E. hypoleucus H.-Schdff. (19 k). Body black, throat orange-yellow, hips and venter as far as the 5th 
segment white, like the anterior side of the palpi and spots at the ends of the middle and posterior tibiae. Recogni¬ 
zable by the broad black costal margin between the cell-end and middle radial. From French Guiana as far 
as the Amazon (Para). 
obscuratus. E. obscuratus Schaus differs from the preceding chiefly by the great expansion of the black costal 
and distal margins, whereby the hyaline spots are greatly reduced, which are besides thinly scaled blackish. 
Base of palpi ochreous-yellow and white. Abdomen above bluish-black, beneath white. Costa Rica. 
84. Genus: Agnnaix limps. 
The first palpal joint long-haired; on the forewings both the lower radial veins rise from the lower cell- 
angle, the upper one from far below the upper cell-angle; very characteristic is the course of the subcostal veins, 
all of which rise at the same distances from the lowest. On the hindwings the median and lower radial veins 
all rise rather closely together, the subcostal and upper radial vein are petioled; the distal margin is concavely 
indented near the anal angle. 
lacrumans. A. lacrumans Schaus (19 1). The only species is an insignificant insect with very long, narrow wings, 
being thinly scaled blackish and a black abdomen. The basal half of the forewing is more densely scaled than 
the rest. From Peru and Bolivia; a female example is also before me from the Coll. Fassl, from West Colombia, 
Rio Aguaca Valley, 2000 m. 
85. Genus: CercopiMiorplia Btlr. 
Palpi erect with an obtuse terminal joints; tibiae with rather long spurs; abdominal base above roughly 
haired. On the forewings both the lower raclials rise from the lower cell-angle, the 1st subcostal vein from the 
cell. On the hindwings the lower median and upper radial vein stand on a joint pedicle, the middle radial rises 
above it, the subcostal and upper radial vein likewise petioled.
