38 RHOPALOCERA. 
years ago from Mons. E. Deyrolle, and purporting to be Guérin-Méneville’s type 
specimen. This agrees with Peruvian and Venezuelan examples (the latter figured by 
Hewitson?) in having the border of the secondaries black and the base of the costa 
uniform with the rest, and not rufous. Northern specimens differ in this respect, and 
also in having a narrower white transverse band to the primaries. These differences are 
so slight that we hesitate to separate the Central-American insect by a distinct name. 
L. victorina, in Central America, is one of the commonest species of butterfly, and is 
found in all forest districts up to an elevation of about 3000 feet, beyond which it does 
not seem to pass. 
The type being a female, we have described an insect of that sex taken at Chuacus 
in Vera Paz.

Alis hyalinis, anticarum marginibus (apice paulo latiore), stria angusta transversa per cellulam mediam ducta, 
altera subquadrata apud finem et venis fusco-nigris, stria subapicali transversa cretaceo-alba ; posticis 
rufescenti-nigro marginatis et venis nigris notatis: subtus sicut supra, sed maculis omnibus obscuris 
rufescentioribus, alarum apicibus maculis albis bipunctulatis. 
Hab. Costa Rica (Van Patten1), Cache (Rogers); Panama, Chiriqui (Ribde, Mus. 
Staudinger), Calobre (Arcé). 
A near ally of [¢homta phemonoe, Doubl. (Hew. Ex. B. th. t. 17. f. 102, 103, 104), 
of Venezuela, but differing in the greater size of the black quadrate spot at the end of 
the cell of the primaries and in the greater breadth of the dark margins to both wings, 
especially about the apical angle of the primaries; the margin of the secondaries, too, 
is tinged with rufous instead of being quite black. 
LL. rubescens has a restricted range in Central America, not passing northwards of 
Costa Rica nor southwards of Calobre, in the State of Panama. It is probably con- 
fined to forests of some elevation above the sea-level. 
3. Leucothyris zea. 
Ithomia zea, Hew. Ex. Butt. Ith. t. vu. f. 40*. 
Alis hyalinis, venis nigris divisis; anticarum marginibus macula transversa intra cellulam, altera subquadrata 
apud finem ejus et limbo externo (intus valde sinuato) rufis, maculis duabus subapicalibus vitreis, fascia 
obliqua a costa ad marginem externum transeunte albescente; posticis, preter marginem analem, rufo 
marginatis: subtus sicut supra sed maculis pallidius rufis; anticis puncto apicali et posticis maculis sub- 
marginalibus albis notatis.
