107. Genus: Zellatilla Dyar. 
The erect, small palpi extend as far as the middle of the forehead; it differs from the preceding genus 
by the absence of lateral hair-tufts on the abdomen. The $ is without the ventral valve. Antennae in both 
sexes doubly combed, shaft not thickened. The veins of the wings are almost exactly like in Empyreuma, but 
on the forewings both the lower radial veins do not rise quite from one place; on the hindwings the median 
veins stand on a long pedicle and rise from below the lower cell-angle, the lower radial vein from it. 
Z. Columbia Dyar. Body black, the thorax with a faint, the abdomen with a brighter blue lustre; at Columbia. 
the base of the 3rd abdominal ring there is a white band being interrupted above, with a sublateral row of white 
spots. Tips of antennae orange. The orange-yellow forewings being broadly bordered with black are in the 
disc dusted in a smoky blackish, at the base black; the black distal margin is proximally sinuate. Hindwing 
towards the apex broadly bordered with black. Expanse of wings: <$ 40 mm, $ 34 mm. Cuba; Colombia. 
108. Genus; Mareciclia Schaus. 
The erect palpi are long; antennae shortly combed, at the ends serrate. The posterior tibiae exhibit 
a very large, glandular swelling which is above filled up with long hairs. On the long, narrow forewings the 
upper median vein rises with both the lower radials from the lower cell-angle, the upper radial from the upper 
angle. Hindwings nai’row with a convex costal margin. The upper median and lower radial vein rise from 
the lower cell-angle, the middle radial above it, the upper one is on a short pedicle with the subcostal. 
M. sanguipuncta Schaus. Head and thorax black, with metallic green spots and stripes; forehips white, sangui- 
Abdomen above metallic green with black, subdorsal and transverse lines, beneath green with a white basal P U} 
spot. Forewings black, in the discal area subcostally and above the proximal margin suffused with greenish- 
blue; at the base there is a carmine spot. Hindwings black with a rosy cellular spot and a whitish inner-marginal 
stripe. Expanse of wings: 33 mm. Brazil (Sa. Catharina). 
109. Genus: Horamella gen. nov. 
An entirely isolated genus, exhibiting on the one hand resemblances to Rhynchopyga, on the other hand 
undoubtedly being nearer to Horania. The proboscis is well developed, the palpi are remarkably slender and 
thin, smoothly scaled, projecting beyond the forehead almost by the length of the head, and straightly porrect. 
The antennae, being ciliated in the $, combed in the d, are not thickened; legs very long and slender, spurs 
well developed. On the very long, narrow forewing the lower median vein rises far from the lower cell-angle, 
the upper one likewise a little before it, the lower radial veins on a short pedicle from it, the upper one from 
the upper cell-angle, the 1st subcostal vein from the cell. On the hindwing the lower median and lower 
radial vein rise on a long pedicle from the lower cell-angle, the 1st median vein is absent; the middle radial is 
rather feeble but rises distinctly below the middle of the transverse vein, being at the base rather strongly 
bent upwards; the 1st radial rises with the subcostal vein pedicellatedly from the upper cell-angle. The veins 
of the hindwings show the greatest resemblance to those of Leuconleura, but the forewings are entirely different. 
- Type: H. fassli Drt. 
H. fassli spec. nov. (21 i). This peculiar, small species is undoubtedly one of the most interesting fassli. 
discoveries of the extremely successful explorer. Head and upperside of the thorax black with large, metallic 
green spots on the vertex and collar. The whole rest of the body is above and beneath of a Pompeian red, of 
the same colour are the inner margin of the shoulder-covers and a spot on the metathorax. The first abdominal 
ring shows above a longish-square, white transverse spot being bordered with black; the following rings exhibit 
triangular, white, small spots growing smaller posteriorly, with a bluish-green iridescence. The unicolorously 
brown forewings have a white apical spot; the hindwings are brown, in the disc thinly scaled. Antennae and 
palpi black, legs brown, hips red. Described according to a couple from East Colombia. T_ype in the Coll. Fassl.

110. Genus: Irfeiieoplelira Hmps. 
The third palpal joint porrect. On the forewings the upper median vein rises before the lower cell-angle, 
which sends forth both the lower radial veins. The two uppermost subcostals rise on a joint pedicle from the 
3 lower ones which are pedicellated. Cell of the hindwing rather short, the lower median and the lower radial 
vein pedicelled, the 1st median vein being absent; the middle radial from the lower cell-angle, the upper one 
and the subcostal vein on a short pedicle from the upper cell-angle.
