the original type, in the Vienna Museum ; belongs to group of 
chlorina and bryophanes. 
Stenoma uranophanes, n. sp. 
cS . 20 mm. Head, thorax dark grey with blue reflections, face 
suffused blue-whitish. Palpi dark grey, interiorly blue-whitish. 
Antennae grey, ciliations 3. Abdomen blue-blackish, ventral 
surface white. Porewings rather elongate, posteriorly considerably 
dilated, costa anteriorly gently, posteriorly strongly arched, apex 
rounded, termen vertically rounded ; 2 from towards angle, 6 from 
apparent apex (indefinite); blackish ; a broad band of bright blue 
iridescence from base along costa throughout, continued as a much 
attenuated fascia round termen to tornus ; an oblong blue-hyaline 
blotch in middle of disc : cilia blackish, tips white round apical 
area. Hindwings blue-hyaline ; a moderate blackish streak along 
costa, joining a patch at apex which occupies -j of wing, this

Colombia, Cauca (dt McitJiari) ; 1 ex. (Coll. Paravicini). Of 
quite exceptional facies, recalling Hyalopseustis superficially, but 
the palpi and other structures are quite normal for Stenoma; 
perhaps allied to bryophanes , which it resembles in form of wing, 
with some suggestion of similar colouring.
