Emily distinguished from all its allies by the colouring of the
body.
6. I. DETERMINATA, n. sp.
Head hlack, frons and back of head metallic green ; antennae black ;

spot on metathorax; first four segments of abdomen golden yellow,
n central black spot on first segment, remaining segments black, last
two segmcnts with lateral green spots ; wings hyaline-white, with

and a small diffused hasi-subcostal litura metallic green ; secondaries
with apex, outer and abdomind margins black, costal area grey-browu ;
pectus black ; trochanters and front of tibiae metallic green; abdomen
nearly as above : expanse of wings 43 millims.
Pacho, New Granada (Ja~on). Type, B.M.
This species has a larger black spot on the discocellulars of
the primaries than any other known species.
7. I. BTILBOSTICTA, n. sp.

d ,?. Pacho, New Granada (Janson). Two specimens, B.M.
Most nearly allied to I. fulviventris, but differing in its greater

Genus LEUCOTMEYIS, n. gen. P1. SXVII. fig. 12.
Allied to the preceding genus and to Mochloptera, agreeing with
the latter in neuration, but differing from both in the great
size of the head and the very strongly pectiuated antennae.
Type L. latilinea, Walker.
