LEPIDOPTXBA OF THE FAMILY ZYOENIDE. 381 have discovered his error, and to have nhifted the name Abrochia to my new genus Sphecosoma. Genus SPHECOSOMA, n. gen. Abrochia (part), Hmich-Schiiier. This is, I believe, the Abrochia of the ' Correspondenz-Blatt,' but not of the ' hussereuropaische Ychmetterlinge ;' it closely resembles Pmdmphex, but differs from it in the simple Euchro- mioid neuration of the secondaries. Type, S. fasciolata, n. sp. 1. SPHECOSOMA FABCIOLATUY, n. spa Body sulphur-yellow ; frons white, with a central grey spot ; a transverxe line or crest and another at back of head black ; antennse with basal half blackish, apical half orange, apex blackish; palpi golden yellow ; collar with a black band hehind ; pterygodes margined with black ; thorax with a black central longitudinnl line and a streak on each side of it close to the pterygodes, a transverse line at back of thorax and the inner edges of the glandular drums black j all the segments banded with black, first segment with three longitudinal black lines ; wings whitish hyaline, veins and outer margin slenderly black; costal and interno-basal areoles of primaries orange ; body below pale sulphur-yellow; legs orange, femora and tibiae with a black streak above ; abdomen with an apparently pale cream-coloured waxlike sheath over basal segments, edged behind with black : expanse of wings 25 niillims. Santa Martha (Bouchard). Type, B.M. 2. s. rRCTATUM=PSeudOSpheX arctata, Walker, Lep. Het. suppl. i. p. 95. Ega (Bates). Type, B.M. 3. S. TESTACEUM = Olaucopis (Pseudoaphex) testacea, Walker, Lep. Het.i. p. 196. Demerara. 5~ B.M. Genus LOXOPHLEBIA, n. gen. P1. XXVII. fig. 14. Allied to the preceding genus, but larger, the outer margin of the primaries much huger, the discocellulars forming an oblique line ; the secondaries less than half the length of the primaries, the abdomen very slightly contracted at the base. Type, L. uepwiu, Butler. 1. LOXOPHLEBIA VESPARIS= Poecilosoma vesparis, Butkr, Ann. 4 Mag. S. 4. vol. xu. p. 327. Muasampilla, Peru (Whitely). Type, B.M.
382 MR. A. Q. BUTLER OX THg Qenus ANDBENIMOBPHA, n. gen. PI. XXVII. fig. 10. Allied to Qymneliu, but the primaries broader, the upper radial invisible (as also the recurrent nervure *), consequently only One discocellular nervure strongly angulated in the centre, the third median and the lower radial emitted together from a short footstalk ; abdomen more distinctly separated from the t,horar than in Gymnelia. Type, 0. sunthogastra, perty. 1. ANDRENIMORPHA XANTHOGASTRA = Glaucopis mnthopatra, Perty. Delect. pl. 31. f. 5. Brazil (Stevens). B.M. Genus GYMNELIA, Wulkev. P1. XXVII. fig. 13. 1. GYMNELIA LANNus=Glaucopis (Gymneb) lrennus, Walker, Lep. Het. i. p. 154. Rio and Brazil (Stevens), Brazil ( Becker). Type, B.M. 2. G. CONBOCIATA. Ahlker, Lep. Het. Suppl. i. p. 85. Ega (Bales). Type, B.M. 3. G. CAUNux=Sphinx caunus, Cramer, Pap. Exot. pl. 224. fig. E. Surinam. Nearly allied to the preceding species, and quite distinct from Sphinx leucupis of Gmelin, with which Walker has associated it. 4. G. COLLOCATA, Walker, Lep. Het. Suppl. i.p. 84. Ega (Bates). Type, B.M. 6. G. coMPLETA=Glaucopis (Gymnelia) completa, Walker, Lq. Het. i. p. 153. Pad (J. P. G. Smith). Type, B.M. 6. G. ENAGRUS=SphhX enagrus, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iii. pl. 548. f. D. Siirinam (Cramer), Ega (Bates). B.M. The genus Qymnelia, at3 above restricted, forms a very natural little group of bee-like species, all af them cliaracterized (as to markings) by 8 broad black border to the wings and a broad black fascia or elongated spot upon the discocellulars of primaries ; they all have black bodies with metallic bluish lateral spots upon the abdomen ; and five out of the eix species have the anal aegments more or less tawny; they have the discocellulara of primariex nearly in a straight line and transverse. * The recurrent nervure is represented in Pertfa Bgure ; so that this is apparently a vnrinble churacter.
