cell, and an oblique band behind the cell with rounded ends between the upper median and lowest subcostal 
vein are white. Hindwings lustrous blue with a hyaline stripe in and behind the cell, the proximal margin being 
white. Expanse of wings: 42 mm. Panama. 
N. broadwayi Schaus (21 g) is distinguished by much shorter palpi not reaching the vertex. The 
body is black, with bluish-white spots on the forehead, collar, shoulders, and shoulder-covers. Forehips and 
the 1st joint of the tarsi white; anterior and middle tibiae inside spotted carmine. Metathorax, lateral and 
dorsal spots on the 1st abdominal ring brassy-green, as well as broad transverse bands on the other rings; under¬ 
neath there is a large, white ventral spot on the first segments. Wings of a brassy-green lustre; the forewings 
exhibit hyaline spots in and below the middle of the cell, at the cell-end, 2 behind the cell, and a larger one 
below the 3rd radial. The hindwings with small hyaline spots at the base of the cell and in the upper cell-angle. 
Expanse of the wings: 46 mm. Trinidad. 
102. Genus; Tricliroiiiia Hbn. (Patreliura Hmps.) 
Distinguished from the preceding genus by long hair-tufts at the sides of the abdomen. On the forewings 
the upper radial rises below the upper cell-angle, the 2 uppermost subcostal veins rise separately from the cell. 
On the hindwings the upper median and the 3rd radial stand on a long pedicle; the middle radial rises from 
above the lower cell-angle. 
T. capys Cr. (= lacteinota Btlr.) (21 g) has dark brown forewings with yellowish veins and a white 
apical spot, hyaline hindwings with greyish-blue veins and margins. The brown body exhibits orange-yellow 
spots on the head and neck. It flies in British Guiana, Brazil and Bolivia and copies Episcepsis capysca and 
capyscoides, the differences of which are mentioned there. 
103. Genus: l^ymire Wkr. 
In the veins rather near the genus Atyphop-sis, but on the forewings the 1st median vein rises below 
the lower cell-angle, the upper radial from the upper cell-angle; on the hindwings the two lower radials stand 
on a longer pedicle; the costal vein is often rudimentarily present. The abdomen is not roughly haired at the base. 
L. metamelas Wkr. (21 g). Body black, hindhead and thorax orange. The thinly scaled forewings 
are blackish, the hindwings hyaline, the margin and a broad inner-marginal area black. Guiana to the Amazon. 
L. strigivenia Druce (21 g). Like the preceding, but with a quite unicolorously blackish-brown thorax; 
forehead, chest, legs, and venter lighter greyish-brown. French Guiana. 
L. melanocephala Wkr. (21 g) is a large species with a dove-grey body and forewings with a white 
costal margin; the head is black; palpi, collar, shoulders, throat, hips, and femora yellow. The abdomen is 
posteriorly bluish-black; the venter and anus yellow. The hindwings are semi-diaphanous, on the veins and 
border pale brownish. Jamaica. 
L. edwardsi Grote (21 h) is smaller than the preceding, on the wings somewhat darker brownish grey, 
the abdomen posteriorly with a bluish-green lustre, beneath whitish; the head is greyish-brown like the other 
part of the body; palpi, vertex, neck and throat orange. From Florida and the Bahamas. — The groAvn-up 
larva is whitish with a red-brown head, a blackish dorsal stripe and orange-yellow subdorsal and lateral lines, 
with yellow bristly hairs standing on tubercles, on the 4th ring pencils of reddish-brown feathery hairs. It 
lives on Ficus pedunculata and changes in a cocoon interwoven with hair to an immobile, red-brown pupa. 
L. albipennis H.-Schaff. (21 g) copies certain Lithosids from the genus Agylla: the foreAvings are Avhite 
with a dark grey inner-marginal streak, the hindwings semi-diaphanous brownish-grey, at the border darker. 
The body is bluish-grey, parts of the palpi, collar, shoulders, base of shoulder-covers, throat and forehips orange, 
the posterior end of the shoulder-covers, and the venter white. Known only from Cuba. 
104. Genus : Loxozoiin Hmps. 
More stoutly built than Lymire, the base of the abdomen above roughly haired. In the veins of the 
forewings it differs by the 1st median vein rising with the loAA'er radial A r eins from the same place. Veins of 
the hindwings not different. 
L. lanceolata Wkr. (21 h). Anterior body blackish-brown, abdomen with a blue lustre; the palpi are 
anteriorly white like the sides of the forehead and dots above the eyes, stripes at the legs, and sublateral stripes
