31. Anza jansoni. (Tab. XXXV. figg. 4, 5.) 
Paphia jansoni, Salv. Ann. & Mag. N. H. ser. 4, vii. p. 165*; Druce, P. Z. 8. 1877, p. 649°. 
Alis anticis fusco-nigris maculis tribus aut quatuor fulvis notatis, una inter ramos radiales, a]tera inter venam 
medianam et ramum suum secundum, tertia subapicali ; posticis late testaceis, regione costali late flavida ; 
subtus pallide fulvis undique irroratis sicut in A. electra; posticis fascia transversa nigra bisectis ; anticis 
valde hamatis, posticis spatulatis et angulo anali valde producto. 
9 alis anticis fusco-nigris ad marginem internum rufo-fulvis, maculis quatuor, linea arcuata collocatis, a costa 
medio ad angulum analem transeuntibus, altera ad apicem, flavis; postivis rufo-fulvis fusco limbatis ; 
subtus fere uti in A. electra, sed alis minus sericeis, paullo obscurioribus et magis distincte irroratis. 
Hab. Nicaragua, Chontales (Janson1); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion, 
Trotsch). 
Until quite recently we had only seen female specimens of this fine species, and. these 
had reached us both from Nicaragua and the State of Panama. A short time ago Dr. 
Staudinger, with his usual kindness, submitted to us a male from Chiriqui, which, though 
differing considerably from the female, we have no doubt is the male of A. jansoni. 
The most obvious point of distinction is in the secondaries, which have the whole of 
the costal region yellow as in A. panariste. With this clue we are enabled to state 
that the beautiful insect described by Mr. Druce as A. bertha is in all probability the 
female of A. panariste, though the contrast between the sexes is much greater than. 
in A. jansoni. 
A. jansoni was discovered by the late E. M. Janson at Chontales in Nicaragua; but 
the further extension of its range into the State of Panama has been proved by Mr. 
Champion, who took several specimens on the Volcano of Chiriqui, at an elevation of 
about 3000 feet. 
32. Anza excellens. (Tab. XXXV. figg. 6, 7.) | 
Paphia excellens, Bates, Ent. Monthl. Mag. i. p. 162*; Druce, P. ZS. 1877, p. 649°. 
Alis supra fuscis, basi (preter costam ct venas) fulvis, anticis serie duplici punctorum ochraceorum margini 
externo subparallelibus, aliisque elongatis inter eos et cellulam ejusdem coloris ; posticis quoque scrie 
duplici punctorum similariter ornatis, margine externo et cauda elongata ochraceo variegatis ; subtus 
notationibus omnibus fere ut in A. electra, sed multo magis distinctis, posticis macula reniformi prope costs 
medium argentea ornatis; anticarum costa valde arcuata, falcata; posticis bene spatulatis et angulo 
anali producto. 
9 mari similis, sed plerumque major et alis supra pallidioribus forsan distinguenda. 
Hab. Guatemata, Central valleys (fF. D. G. & O. S.+), San Gerénimo (Champion, 
Hague). 
This wonderful species is extremely local in Guatemala; we obtained it in the hills 
skirting the east side of the plain of Salama, near the village of San Geronimo, and 
here, too, Mr. Champion found it, but in no other locality has it yet occurred, so far 
as we know. Here it associates with A. electra and has similar habits. Inits markings 
and the general shape of the wings A. excellens has no near allies in the genus, but 
it evidently belongs to the section containing A. electra, A. jansont, and others.
