from Rio Janeiro and its neighbourhood. ‘We have no record of its occurrence in any 
intermediate locality. 
Mr. Kirby, in his catalogue, groups some five or six species as varieties of A. serpa 
of Boisduval, including amongst them A. celerio, A. massilia, and A. pareca. In this 
we are unable to follow him, as will be seen from the reasons given under the head of 
each species. 
27. Adelpha sentia. (Tab. XXIX. figg. 9, 10.) 
A, serpe similis, sed macula fulva anticarum multo minore, fascia communi alba ad finem anteriorem venis 
divisa et fulvo extus tincta ; subtus alis omnino albescentioribus, plaga anticarum apicali haud ad cellulam 
extensa, fascia fulva posticarum interiori intus albescente. 
Hab. British Honpvuras, Corosal (Roe). 
Our description of this species rests upon a single male specimen obtained by Mr. 
Roe in British Honduras. Though undoubtedly allied to A. serpa, A. celerio, and 
A. massilia, it is obviously distinct, as reference to the figures will show. The white 
band of the wings being tinged with fulvous at its upper extremity serves to separate 
it from all these species. 
28. Adelpha pione, sp. n. (Tab. XXIX. fige. 16, 17.) 
A, serpe similis sed fascia alarum alba multo angustiore, et plagula fulva anticarum in stria maculosa usque ad 
angulum analem posticarum ducta. 
Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (dus. Staudinger). 
This species, of which we have only seen a single female specimen in Dr. Staudinger’s 
collection from Chiriqui, is most nearly allied to A. seriphia of Felder, from Venezuela; 
but it not only has a very narrow white band, but a second band of a fulvous colour 
lies outside this and appears to be a continuation of the fulvous apical spot of the 
primaries. Beneath it is very similar to A. serpa. 
29. Adelpha massilia. (Tab. XXIX. figg. 7, 8.) 
Heterochroa massilia, Feld. Reise d. Nov. Lep. p. 423°. 
A. celerioni similis, sed fascia communi angustiori et ad finem superiorem maculosa. 
Hab. Mexico (Sallé +), Cordova (Riimeli, Hoge). 
. A number of specimens, obtained by both Hoge and Riimeli in Southern Mexico, are, 
we believe, referable to this species, which was described by Dr. Felder from examples 
taken by Sallé in the same country. It differs chiefly from A. celerio in the narrowness 
of the white band in the wings, but more especially by that portion which lies in the 
primaries being broken up into distinct spots both on the upper and lower sides.
