S. horae Drc. (61 b). Black, with a blue lustre, particularly at the base of the wings. Forewing with Horae. 
a yellow transverse band to the torn us. Guatemala, Panama. 
S. monotona sp. n. is like horae, but without any blue lustre. $ type from Pebas in the Berlin Museum, monotona. 
$ type from the Rio Huacamayo (Peru) in the Tring Museum. 
S. elegans sp. n. (61 b) is similar to horae, the band removed farther towards the base, terminating elegans. 
behind on the axillaris. Forewing at the base and abdomen with a more intense blue lustre. Beneath the yellow 
band is behind distally more expanded. Bolivia. $ type in the Berlin Museum. 
S. brevifasciata sp. n. (61 b) is like elegans, the yellow band in front shortened, only extending to the brevifascia- 
cell. Rosario; St. Inez, 1250 m. <$ type in the Tring Museum. iu - 
S. centralis sp. n. (61 b). Body black, yellow spots on the collar and tips of the patagia, yellow centralis. 
longitudinal lines on the thoracal and abdominal dorsum, the abdomen with similar lateral stripes and white 
ventrum. Wings yellow, all the margins yellow, the distal margin of the forewing broadly blackish-brown. 
Venezuela, Valencia. $ type in the Berlin Museum. 
S. palmeri Drc. (61 b). In the habitus similar to a Crocomela (Darna ). Body black, with a blue lustre; palmeri. 
abdomen beneath ash-grey. Wings black with a blue lustre extending on the hindwing almost to the margin, 
on the forewing near to the yellow discal band. The latter ends shortly before the tornus, and is 4 mm broad 
at the costa, 6 mm at the broadest place. Ecuador. 
S. rhombifera Dgn. (61 f). Body black, abdomen with a blue lustre and yellow lateral stripe. Wings rhombifera. 
black, with a blue lustre, with a yellow trapezoid central spot, which on the forewing irregularly pierces the 
black costal margin. Colombia. 
S. tolimata Dgn. is unknown to me, but it presumably belongs to this species. Collar and patagia tolimata. 
with yellow spots. Forewing similar to those of rhombifera. Hindwing quite black, with a blue lustre. Colombia. 
15. Gattimg': Eticyane (Esthema Hbn.). 
Posterior tibiae with 2 pair of spurs, 3rd palpal joint at most one third of the second, in the forewing 
the 2nd to 5th radial branches are forked, the 2nd rising before the 5th, the other veins being like in the 
preceding genera. Black species often exhibiting an intense blue lustre, with white, yellow or red markings. 
1. Wings a bove without red spots or bands. 
E. aletta Stoll (61 c). Black, with a blue lustre, head and thorax with white dots, ventrum white, aletta. 
Wings of the colour of the body, the forewing with a subapical band of white spots, which are pointedly extended 
towards the base on the hindwing. From Panama to Ecuador and Surinam, San Domingo. 
E. euploeodes Btlr. (61 d). The white submarginal stripes extend on the hindwing to the margin, euploeodes. 
Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia. 
E. speciosa Wkr. (= herrona Btlr.) (61 d). Blackish-blue, with white discal bands, which are broadly speciosa. 
crossed with black by the veins. Fringes at tie apex and partly at the tornus white. Ventrum blue with white 
segmental margins. — In the form venosa Fldr. the discal band of the hindwing is expanded to the base, so venosa. 
that the hindwing appears white with a blackish-blue margin. Colombia and Upper Amazon River. 
E. confluens Btlr. (61 d) is similar to venosa, on the hindwing the basal area is blue, the veins are confluens. 
narrowly black. Ventrum more extensively white. Bolivia; Iquitos. 
E. eulalia Drc. (61 d) is likewise similar to speciosa, ventrum blue with quite narrow white segmental eulalia. 
margins. The discal bands are less broadly crossed by black, those of the hindving are farther distally removed. 
E. celadon Cr. {— anacharsis Bsd .) (61 d). Blackish-blue, forewing with a white postdiscal band, celadon. 
which is parted by narrow black veins. Hindwing above only with traces of an antemarginal band of white 
spots, whilst beneath it is sometimes distinct. Ventrum uni-coloured blackish-blue. Fringes as in the preceding- 
species. Nicaragua to Surinam. 
E. pylotis Drury (= celina Bsd.) (61 e) resembles celadon, but the ventrum exhibits 5 yellow^ rings, pylotis. 
the discal band of the forewing has quite white veins, the fringes of the hindwings are all white. Mexico, 
Guatemala, Honduras. 
E. pylotoides sp. n. is quite similar to pylotis (61 e), the forewing is more brownish-violet, the band pylcioides. 
is more strongly bent and narrower (at the broadest part 3 mm), hindwing beneath in the centre of the costa 
with a red spot. The ventral rings are red, narrower. Mexico. $ type in the Tring Museum.
