and the hips are white. The borders of the shoulders-covers, dorsal and lateral lines on the abdomen, as well 
as the venter are yellowish-white. Abdomen above with a blue lustre. Forewing in the basal half brownish- 
grey with darker veins, in and below the cell intermixed with orange scales, in the distal half brownish-black 
with 3 longish, light subapical spots between the upper radial and lowest subcostal vein. Hindwing in the 
costal half white, otherwise bluish-black. Expanse of wings: 32 mm. Peru. 
131. Genus: (naiigamela Wkr. 
Distinguished from the preceding genus by the shorter, rising palpi, the abdomen being at the base 
above provided with rough hair, and lateral tubercles. On the forewings, the upper radial rises from the upper 
cell-angle, only the 1st subcostal vein comes freely from the cell. On the hindwings, the middle radial vein 
rises from above the lower cell-angle. 
G. saturata Wkr. (23 g). Body black, front of the palpi, forehead, spots on the collar and shoulders, 
as well as stripes on the shoulder-covers and legs are white; narrow lateral lines and broad subdorsal stripes 
on the abdomen are likewise white. The basal half of the black forewing and an oblicpie spot behind the cell 
are yellow; the same is the case on the costal half of the hindwing; the proximal half, the distal margin and 
apex are black. Expanse of wings: 36 mm. Brazil. 
G. ira Bruce (26 i) has a black body, being spotted metallic blue on the head and thorax, with 
metallic blue bands on the abdomen. Anterior femora striped white. Forewings black, with blue spots at the 
base of the proximal margin; in the submedian area, from the base to the margin, there extends a carmine 
longitudinal band bending down clistally to the proximal angle. Hindwings with a red apical spot. Expanse 
of wings: 34 mm. Panama (Chiriqui). 
132. Genus: Enagra Wkr. 
Medium-sized species of a magnificent blue lustre, with hyaline spots on the wings, characterized by the 
lower radial veins rising on a long pedicle from the long, narrow cell of the hindwing; the upper radial of the 
forewing rises from the upper cell-angle. 
E. caelestina Gr. (= interclusa Wkr.) (23 g). The large hyaline spot extends still beyond the upper 
median vein, so that it is thus intersected by the vein. The first palpal joint, vertex and neck red. French 
Guiana, Amazon. 
E. cerymica Druce (23 h) is recognizable by the carmine head. By the lower median vein rising 
before the middle of the cell, the low r er base of the large hyaline spot, lying on the said vein, almost becomes 
parallel to the proximal margin. Ecuador, Panama. 
E. angelica Btlr. (23 h) greatly resembles cerymica, but has a black head, spotted metallic blue; 
the sides of the forehead are white. The ventral side of the abdomen is white. From Colombia and Ecuador. 
E. delectans Schaus greatly approximates the preceding; is somewhat larger and different by the 
red palpal base, the forehead being isabel-coloured, the vertex and neck carmine; the abdomen is above of 
a deeper bluish-black. Expanse of wings: 34 mm. Costa Rica. 
E. chica Hmps. (23 h). In this species the lower median vein of the forewing rises almost at the base, 
whereby the hyaline spot grows extremely long, its lower side exactly parallel to the proximal margin. The 
head is black except the white forehead. Shoulder-covers and abdomen with white stripes. Peru and Bolivia. 
E. haemantlius Wkr. (23 h). In this species and the two following ones, by the lower median vein 
only rising behind the middle of the cell, the hyaline spot is removed more towards the margin and is placed 
more obliquely; discernible from azurea by the carmine head and first palpal joint, the forehead being red, 
too. The fringes are dark. A common species, from Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica as far as Panama. 
E. azurea Wkr. (23 h) has orange-yellow spots behind the eyes and in the neck, as well as on the 
palpi. The lower median vein rises behind the middle of the cell, the hyaline spot is, therefore, small. On vein 
1 there is a white streak, as well as on the middle of the dorsum of the abdomen. Brazil (Santos). 
E. klagesi Rothscli. The head is white, the vertex black; neck and the 2 first palpal joints carmine, 
the terminal joint black. Thorax black with a blue lustre, abdomen of a brilliant deep blue, a dorsal line and 
the sides of the 1st ring lavender-grey; chest and venter white. Forewings black with a deep blue lustre. Sub¬ 
costal area in the first fifth striped lavender-grey; in the cell there is a transparent bluish-white spot, a larger 
one between the median veins, and a smaller one above the upper median vein; fringes at the apex white. 
Hindwings like in azurea. Length of forewings: $ 21 mm, $ 17 mm. Surinam.
