$, and a large, transparent postdiscal band; the hindwings are white, in the $ in the middle hyaline. The body 
is black, with metallic blue spots. Amazon, Peru. — In hampsoni subsp. nov. (= subsp. 1 Hrnps.) there appear 
on the forewing carmine stripes at the costal margin as far as behind the middle and below the base of the cell; 
the spot below the middle of the cell is absent; the 3 first abdominal segments show lateral red spots. Uruguay. 
A. hoffmannsi Rothsch. The body is black, with metallic blue spots on the head, thorax, and sides 
of the abdomen; the latter exhibits a large carmine spot on the 2 first segments. Legs dark brown. Forewings 
black, with blue spots at the base and a large blue discal spot; above the inner-marginal vein there is a white 
diaphanous spot, 3 smaller ones between the upper median and middle radial vein. Hindwings in the disc white, 
broadly bordered with greyish-brown, in the $ with black. Length of forewings: 22 to 24 mm. Brazil (Rio 
Madeira). 
91. Genus: JProctocopis gen. nov. 
Siphon well developed; palpi rather feeble, not projecting beyond the forehead, stretched forward, 
the terminal joint a little downward, long-haired. Head, thorax and first abdominal segment densely and 
moderately long haired; abdomen smoothly scaled, the anal segment with a short hair-tuft from the sides of 
which the uncommonly long valves project. The shaft of the antennae beyond the middle only slightly thickened, 
above scaled, in the moderately long serrated. On the long forewings the median veins rise separated afar 
from the lower cell-end, from which the lower radial veins rise in common, the upper one from a little below 
the upper cell-corner, the 4 lower subcostal veins in common, the uppermost from the cell. On the hindwings 
the lower median vein rises far from the lower cell-corner, which sends forth the upper one; the middle radial 
vein rises above it, the lower one is absent; the uppermost radial and the subcostal vein rise from the upper 
cell-corner. — Type: P. forficula Draudt. 
F. forficula spec. nov. (20 f). The only species of this most peculiar genus in its exterior resembles 
on the whole the larger Poliopastea- species, though it differs greatly by the veins. The body is black; a stripe 
behind the eyes, a spot on the prothorax and on the shoulders, as well as the hips and inner parts of the hind 
femora are white, a spot at the sides of the prothorax more yellowish. The abdomen shows above broad, metallic 
bluish-green transverse bands, the naked angular indentations are yellowish. The first segment exhibits a 
dorsal white spot, the 4 first segments lateral ones; the venter is white. The slender, bent, unsymmetrical 
clasping-organs of about 5 mm length are lustrous black, on the inside thinly haired and in the middle with 
a tooth-like projection. The legs are black, outside with a metallic bluish-green lustre. Palpi and antennae 
black. All the wings above blackish-brown with a bronze lustre; at the articulation of the forewing there is 
a white spot, two more, smaller ones at the base above the subcostal and below the median; the basal third 
of the costal space is yellowish hyaline; the submedian space as far as the lorver radial is sparsely strewn with 
brass-coloured scales. The hindwings are of a purer blackish and exhibit, in the inner-marginal area, a large, 
round, whitish hyaline spot; the costal part above in the basal half white. Beneath the forewings exhibit a 
metallic green lustre in the disc as far as the submedian fold, in the hindwing in the costal area. — Described 
according to a $ from West Colombia (Rio Aguaca Valley, 2000 m). Type in the Coll. Fassl. 
92. Genus: Krlphioitles Kirby. 
This genus and the 3 following ones are very closely allied to each other in the exterior. The abdomen 
shows at the end lateral hair-tufts, in contrast with the others. The palpi are porrect. The costal margin of 
the hindwing is bent very much convex, and on the forewing it covers the under surface of the proximal margin 
being covered with silk-like scaly hair. 
E. tradipennis Btlr. (26 m) differs from the following, similar species by the white base of the palpi, 
the carmine hindhead and carmine spots on the shoulders. Forewings dark red-brown with black veins. Like 
in the following species, the rounded costal-marginal part of the hindwing above and the proximal margin 
of the forewing beneath, covering it, are whitish. Common from Honduras as far as Brazil. 
E. viridis Lathy is immediately discernible from the other species by the metallic coppery green 
basal half of the forewing and the sublateral rows of white spots along the whole abdomen. The hindhead does 
not exhibit any red spots. Ecuador. 
E. ecuadoriensis spec. nov. (20 f) is greatly distinguished by the metallic blue colour of the wings 
and by the abdomen being very much white-spotted. Head, palpi and antennae black, the forehead metallic 
green, neck red; collar and shoulders white, of a greenish golden iridescence; shoulder-covers and mesothorax 
striped in a brassy colour; hips white, legs black, with a bluish-green lustre. The abdomen is metallic bluish-
