PROCALYPTA; URAGA. By Dr. M. Drattdt. 
heber. A. heber Cr. (= halys Cr., flaviventris Mdschl.) (23 f), from Mexico to Brazil, differs from ventralis 
by the presence of a round, yolk-coloured discal spot in the <J, whereas the $ has a broad, oblique, yellow band. 
Besides, the palpal base, 2 spots on the forehead and on the vertex orange; the hips are orange-yellow in both 
sexes. Of this extremely common insect there are 8 specimens of both sexes before me from Mexico (Orizaba, 
insignaia. Misantla), which I denominate — insignata ah. nov. (23 f). It has above no traces whatever of the yellow spots; 
beneath they are usually slightly indicated at the costal margin. The animal thereby greatly resembles ventralis 
and terra. 
ventralis. A. ventralis Guer. (— conspicua Druce, lucania Schaus) (23 f), from Mexico and Central America 
as far as Panama, has dark blackish-brown forewings, transparent, hyaline hindwings with a greyish-black, 
irregular border. Vertex, as well as dorsal and lateral spots on the abdomen metallic blue. Collar and shoulders 
with small red spots. Venter yolk-coloured. In the $ the hips are orange-yellow. 
terra. A. terra Schaus (23 f) entirely resembles ventralis, but it has no orange-red spots on the collar and 
shoulders. The subdorsal black colour of the abdomen is united to abroad dorsal stripe on the posterior rings. 
The $ is without the orange colouring of the hips and ventral side, klagesi is similar, but its underside is isabel- 
coloured. From Brazil and Paraguay. 
bractea. A. bractea Mdschl. (23 f). Anterior body and wings blackish-brown. Palpal base, sides of forehead, 
hindhead, shoulders, throat, and hips white. Abdomen above golden green, 1st ring and last ring, as well as 
dorsal spots black; the venter exhibits a white median stripe. Hindwings with a blue lustre and hyaline stripe 
in, below and behind the cell. Expanse of wings: 36 mm. Surinam. 
signatura. A. signatura Wkr. (23 g) differs from all the species known by the orange abdomen. Thorax and 
wings are uniformly brown, the hindwing transparent in the disc. Palpal base, vertex, collar, and forehips 
spotted orange. West Indies (?). 
pydna. A. pydna Druce. Anterior body dark brown, forehead and hips white; on the head, on each side a 
small, yellow spot. The abdomen is above brilliant metallic blue, laterally brown, underneath white. Forewings 
dark brown, the veins of the base yellowish; a broad, yellow oblique band crosses the forewing behind the 
middle from the costal margin to the proximal angle. Hindwings black with a hyaline stripe in the disc. Expanse 
of wings: 32 mm. Ecuador. 
129. Genus: Procalypta Btlr. 
Thorax and base of abdomen with thick, woolly hair. Veins on the forewings without any peculiarities; 
the costal margin of the hindwing is bent strongly convex before the middle; the cell is very long, the upper 
median and lower radial vein rise from the lower cell-angle, the middle radial above it. Only one beautiful, 
large species. 
subeyanea. P. subeyanea Wkr. (23 g). The anterior body is black with white spots, the abdomen lustrous metallic 
blue, the two last segments above, the 4 last ones beneath deep carmine. The black forewings exhibit large, 
white, diaphanous spots in the cell-end and below the middle of the cell, and 2 below and above the upper 
radial. The hindwings being suffused with blue show hyaline spots in, below and behind the cell; the latter 
victorina. are absent in — subsp. Victorina Druce (23 g) from Costa Rica and Panama. The nomenclatural type occurs 
in Mexico. 
131. Genus: Uraga Wkr. 
Siphon well-developed; 2nd palpal joint obliquely rising, the 3rd long and straightly porrect. Tibiae 
with short spurs. On the forewings, the upper radial rises far behind the upper cell-angle; the 3 lower subcostal 
veins are long-pedicelled, the 2nd subcostal vein from the upper cell-angle, the 1st freely from the cell. The 
cell of the hindwing is very long, the lower median vein comes about from the middle of the median, the upper 
one from below the lower cell-angle, from which both the lower radial veins rise. 
haemorrhoea. U. haemorrhoea Wkr. (23 g). The head and the underside of the 3 last abdominal rings are carmine; 
thorax dark brown, the abdomen metallic blue. Forewings with a narrow, white, postdiscal oblique band 
bordered with yellow. Hindwings grey with a metallic blue lustre, in the disc transparent. Expanse of wings: 
42 mm. Jamaica. 
rubricollis. U. rubricollis Hmps. The body is brownish-black, on the abdomen above lustrous blue; palpal base 
and neck scarlet. Sides of forehead, hips and venter whitish. On the forewing, a white oblique band runs across 
the cell-end from the subcostal to the lower median vein. Hindwings suffused with metallic blue. Expanse 
of wings: 40 mm. Colombia. 
trifida. U. trifida Dogn. Head and thorax brownish-black. Palpal base and border of the shoulder-covers 
scarlet; the front of the palpi, sides of the forehead, a central spot on the vertex, a dorsal line on the thorax
