cell; posterior cross-vein about its own length distant from the 
mid cross-vein. 
Halteres with an ochraceous stem and fuscous knob. 
Length. —6 mm. 
Habitat. — Lower Amazons (Austen). 
Time of capture. —March. 
Observations. —Described from three 9’s. Very like P. titillans, 
Walker, but of a more yellowish-brown tint and slightly larger. 
The chief difference, however, which is certainly specific, is in 
the scale ornamentation of the wings. In P. titillans there are 
numerous lateral scales on the veins of an elongated form, 
similar to those of a Taeniorhynchus , whilst in this species the 
scales are all typical Panoplites scales.

golden-brown scales in the centre, more or less arranged in rows,

coloured ones posteriorly ; sides of the mesonotum with golden 
scales, and on each side, towards the scutellum, a large roundish
