E. caerulea Dogn. (23 i) is on the head quite black and blue without any red or orange. Forewings 
blackish-brown with a small, triangular, diaphanous spot above the base of the lower median vein. Hindwings 
with a metallic blue lustre and a hyaline stripe below the cell and above the base of the loAver median vein. The 
body is unicolorously black, suffused with blue, the venter not white. Forehips whitish. Expanse of wings: 
32 mm. Ecuador. 
E. splendida Btlr. (23 h) exhibits, like most of the Agyrta- species, beside the hyaline spot of the basal 
half, yet a subapieal hyaline spot between the radial veins. The first palpal joint, vertex and neck are red, 
the forehips and venter white. Brazil (Sa. Catharina). 
E. intercisa Btlr. (= auxo Wkr.) (23 i) differs from the following by the white venter and forehips. 
The hyaline spot in the lower part of the cell of the hindwing is absent. 
E. fenestra Wkr. (23 i) greatly resembles intercisa, and the hyaline spots on the forewings are the 
same. It is discernible by the black venter and hips; besides, the hyaline spot of the hindwing is much more 
extensive by another one being situate also in the lower part of the cell. Brazil. 
E. latera Druce (23 i) is the largest and most beautiful species, greatly deviating from the general 
type by only one large, oblique hyaline spot situate behind the middle, just cutting yet a piece off from the cell- 
apex. The forewings exhibit radiantly blue stripes at the costal margin and above vein 1. The hindwings are 
black with a blue lustre, without any hyaline spots. From Colombia, Ecuador, and Brazil. 
133. Genus: Myriromera Btlr. 
Only one, rather large species. The long cell of the hindwing sends forth the lower median vein long 
before the lower cell-angle, also the upper one rises before it, whereas the lower radial veins stand only on a 
short, common pedicle and rise from the corner. On the forewings, the upper radial vein rises from below the 
upper cell-angle. 
M. isthmia Fldr. (= notochloris Bsd., nolckeni Stgr.) (23 i). This beautiful, large species, being 
distributed from Mexico to the Amazon, is of a deep velvety black. The forewings exhibit distally an oblique 
hyaline spot and a metallic blue stripe above vein 1, the hindwings a narrow hyaline stripe below the cell as 
far as near the border. Fringes at the apex of the forewing and at the anal angle of the hinclwing white, Palpi, 
forehead, vertex, collar, shoulder-covers and legs spotted metallic greenish-blue; abdomen with blue dorsal 
and lateral stripes, underneath white. 
134. Genus: Micragra Hmps. 
Distinguished from the preceding genus by the shorter palpi, broader and shorter forewings, on which 
the lower radial veins rise on a short pedicle; the upper one comes from the upper cell-angle or also from beneath 
(ochrea). On the forewings, the upper median vein comes from the same place with the two lower radials. 
M. sanguiceps Hmps. (23 i). Blackish-brown; 1st palpal joint, vertex and neck carmine, forehead 
blue, margined with white. Collar, shoulder-covers, metathorax, chest, and legs spotted metallic bluish-green, 
abdomen above suffused with bluish-green. Forewing at the base of the inner-marginal vein bluish-green. 
Between the median veins is a cream-coloured spot extending yet for some distance below the lower median 
vein; fringes at the apex white. Hindwings blackish-brown. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Brazil (Lake Iguarazu). 
M. borealis Rothsch. greatly resembles the preceding and differs at once by the entirely white underside 
of the body. Thorax lustrous green, only the terminal halves of the shoulder-covers are blackish-brown. The 
abdomen is above lustrous green with a broad, blackisli-brown dorsal band except the entirely green 1st segment. 
On the forewings the creamy white spot extends to the proximal angle. The blackish-brown hindwings exhibit 
in the lower half of the wing an oval white spot, the inner-marginal vein is metallic-green. Length of forewings: 
14 mm. Venezuela. 
M. ochrea Hmps. (23 k). Body ochreous-brownish, neck orange, anal tuft yellow. Forewings with 
darker-striped veins; in the middle of the cell and on the transverse vein dark dots, being connected by a 
streak on the discal fold; from the lower cell-angle an oblique, indistinct line runs to the proximal margin; 
behind an oblique, curved postmedian, in the marginal area, there are dark streaks in the cell-spaces. The 
thinly scaled hindwings are whitish, at the border blackish-brown. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Brazil (Rio 
Grande). The species greatly resembles Atyphopsis obscura (21 b).
