LEPIDOPTERA OF TBE FAMILP ZTQdiXIDZ.<br />
Genus LimocnABIs, Hcrrich-Schaf' (part).<br />
883<br />
1. LAZMOCHARIS STULTA, Herrich-SchiiJ$m, Auss. Schmett. fig. 258.<br />
Glaucopis (Pheia) dolens, Walker, Lep. Het. i. p. 148. n. 13.<br />

2. L. TRIQUTTA= Glaucopis (Pseudomya) tngutta, Walker, Lep. Het.<br />

3. L. HBJIATICA=GhUCOpiS haematica, Perty, Dezect. pl. 31. fig. 6.<br />
L. zantes, Her;.-Sch. Auss. Schmett. fig. 240.<br />
Brazil. B.M.<br />
4. L. FICNESTRINA, n. sp.<br />
Nearly allied to <strong>the</strong> preceding species, but <strong>the</strong> basal area <strong>of</strong> primaries<br />
less opaque, and a much broader hyaline patch (covering <strong>the</strong> grenter<br />
part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> disk) bey<strong>on</strong>d <strong>the</strong> cell <strong>of</strong> primaries; body below (excepting<br />
anal segments), bases <strong>of</strong> wings, inner margin <strong>of</strong> primaries, and costa<br />
<strong>of</strong> sec<strong>on</strong>daries white : expanse uf wings 27 millims.<br />
Brazil. B.M.<br />
5. L. DEcIsA=Pseudomya decisa, Walker, Lq. Het. suppl. i. p. 81.<br />
Ega (Bates). Type, B.M.<br />
The genus Lmochal-is, as thus restricted, may have to be united<br />
to <strong>the</strong> Pheia <strong>of</strong> Walker ; it, however, c<strong>on</strong>tains <strong>on</strong>ly small species<br />
at present, most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m <strong>with</strong> a well-marked but diffused streak<br />
from <strong>the</strong> costa, across <strong>the</strong> discocellulars <strong>of</strong> primaries, and <strong>the</strong><br />
median fork <strong>of</strong> sec<strong>on</strong>daries proceeding from a very short, in-<br />
stead <strong>of</strong> a l<strong>on</strong>g footstnlk ; in L. decisa, in fact (<strong>the</strong> species most<br />
like Pheia in appearance), <strong>the</strong> footstalk is ecarcely apparent, being<br />
reduced to little more than n point.<br />
Genus ECHONEURA, n. gen.<br />
Allied to LamocBaris and Pheia; but easily distinguished from<br />
<strong>the</strong> former by <strong>the</strong> form <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> discocellulars <strong>of</strong> primaries, which<br />
are equally divided in <strong>the</strong> centre by <strong>the</strong> upper radial and re-<br />
current nervure, are equal in length and c<strong>on</strong>sequently produce<br />
parallel projecting terminati<strong>on</strong>s to <strong>the</strong> discoidal cell ; from <strong>the</strong><br />
latter it differs in <strong>the</strong> same character, as also in <strong>the</strong> more limited<br />
hyaline arm <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> wings. l'ype, E. intricata, Walker.<br />
1. ECHONEURA INTRICATA =Eucliromia( Cal<strong>on</strong>otos) intricata, Walktr,<br />
