have a tegumen terminating in a long depressed central spine, beneath which, in the 
interior of the cavity of these organs, are two strong spines ; the harpagones are simple 
lobes, hairy, but without spines; they project about to the end of the tegumen; the 
detached piece below the harpagones is abruptly splayed out at its distal end, which is 
cut square ; the two angles bear two long strong hairs each.

Hab. Nicaragua, Choutales (Belt).—CoLomBia ; AMAZONS VALLEY. 
Two specimens in the late Mr. Belt’s collection, the only Central-American ones we 
have seen, agree with others from Colombia and the Amazons valley, and appear to be 
the species represented by Donovan ? and Drury? as Papilio pyramus of Fabricius 1. 
Both Belt’s specimens are males; but a female from Santarem in the Amazons valley, 
which we attribute to this species, differs from the male in having a large red spot on 
the primaries alone, the secondaries being uniform black. A similar sexual difference 
exists in the South-Brazilian Hematera. 
CYCLOGRAMMA. 
Cybdelis, Sect. II. Cyclogramma, Doubleday, Gen. Diurn. Lep. p. 219 (1849). 
Doubleday, who first suggested this name for the two species mentioned below, does 
not seem to have examined either of them thoroughly; for he would at once have seen 
that their affinities were with Callicore rather than with Cybdelis. Indeed, so close is 
the relationship with the former genus that we somewhat doubt the propriety of keeping | 
them separate. In Cyclogramma the upper discocellular of the primaries, though short, 
is distinctly visible; but in Callécore the upper radial branches immediately from the 
subcostal. The tibia, too, of the latter genus are more dilated than in Cyclogramma. 
Two species have hitherto been associated in this genus, both of them Central- 
American or Mexican. To these may probably be added the Ecuadorean Catagramma 
ceryx, Hew., which has more the appearance of a Cyclogramma than of the genus in 
which Hewitson placed it; but we have not examined this rare species critically. 
In Cyclogramma the first subcostal branch in the primaries is emitted beyond the end 
of the cell, the upper discocellular is short, the middle curved into the lower radial, 
there being no lower discocellular. The front legs of the male are hairy ; the coxa rather 
long=3 femur+trochanter; tibia > femur; tarsus (single-jointed)=femur; both tibia 
and tarsus slightly expanded laterally. Eyes hairy. Palpi slightly hairy, terminal
