LEPIDOPTERA OF TUE FAMILY ZYQBNIDE.

It will be seen that Walker adopted the above (which is conge-
ucrie with 3. andromacha) as the type of his Eunomia ; he was
therefore nearer to the truth than any of his successorR.
4. E. FULVICAUDA, n. sp.
Allied to E. Zeucaspis, much smaller, and different in the colour of the
body : body above black ; palpi white in front ; head dark brown, a
green dot behind each eye ; antenna: black ; pterygodes black, broadly
bordered internally with metallic blue-green ; thorax with a lnrge posterior
metallic-green spot ; abdomen with all the segments bordered

yellow externally : wings exactly as in E. andromacha, hyalinc-white,
with the veins, margins, and bases black; primaries with a black
litura at end of cell : body below dark brown ; coxre metallic bluegreen
; trochanters, basal segments of abdomen, and anus white ; anal
tuft golden yellow : expanse of wings 26 millims.
St. Paul0 (Bates). Type, B.M.
This ia a pretty little species, but duller in colouring than
any other in the genus.
5. EUNOMIA SARCOSOMA, n. sp.

Character of E. adromacha, but smaller, Dr. Wallcngren describes
it as having dorsal abdominal reddish-fulvous SpOtR, the
anus with black hairs: in this respect it agrees with no species
known to me; possibly, however, it niny be the inale of
thc following, which has no anal tuft.
