302 RHOPALOCERA. 
(Champion), Lion Hill (M‘Zeannan).—Sovutn America, from Colombia to Bolivia’; 
AMAZONS 2. 
We restrict this name to individuals having the tawny band extending down to or 
beyond the first branch of the median nervure, as it approaches the inner margin. In 
some specimens the space between the first median nervule and the inner margin is — 
more or less occupied with white, some individuals from the State of Pandma having 
more white than is usual. When we come to Guatemala we not only find examples 
of the true A. erotia, but also another form which has been separated under the name 
of A. phylaca; in this latter insect the white band is developed at the expense of the 
tawny one, and extends quite up to the second median branch. 
A. erotia was described by Hewitson from Bolivian specimens in the British Museum!; 
it has since been found to be a common species throughout the Amazons region 2, and 
northward in Central America as far as Guatemala. 
12. Adelpha erymanthis, sp.n. (Tab. XXIX. figg. 5, 6.) 
A. erotic affinis, sed anticis magis elongatis et falcatis, posticis ad angulum analem multo magis dentatis, fascia 
posticarum alba ad angulum eodem acuta et limbo externo ad costam fulvo marginata; subtus A. erotic 
persimilis, parte alarum basali glauco-ceerulescentiore. 
Hab. Nicaracua, Chontales (Belt); Costa Rica, Irazu (Rogers). 
We have two specimens of this species, both males, which, though evidently closely 
allied to the common A. erotia, is nevertheless easy to be distinguished by the characters 
given above. 
13. Adelpha oberthuri. (Tab. XXIX. figg. 3, 4.) 
Heterochroa oberthiirti, Boisd. Lép. Guat. p. 46°. 
A. erotie similis quoad alarum paginam superiorem, sed minor; subtus alis omnino grisescentioribus et maculis 
omnibus magis indistinctis; fascia anticarum linea ferruginea longitudinaliter divisa. 
Hab. Guaremata !, Polochic valley (Hague), Zapote and Panan (Champion) ; Costa 
Rica, Irazu (Rogers); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, Bugaba (Arcé, Champion). 
We have great doubts whether this species is really separable from A. thesprotia of 
Felder from Colombia. The only differences which we can detect are that the fulvous 
band of the primaries is narrower, and that the white band of secondaries nearly always 
passes a short way into the primaries. 
Through the kindness of M. Charles Oberthtir we have had an opportunity of 
comparing Boisduval’s type with our series from Guatemala; and we have also named 
specimens of A. thesprotia from Dr. Felder, so that we are able to compare typical 
examples. 
A, oberthiiri is a forest species.
