404 RHOPALOCERA. 
Hab. Nicaraeva, Chontales (Belt); Panama, Calobre (Arcé 1). 
The only specimen from the State of Panama in our collection is the male described 
by Mr. Bates in 1866. From Nicaragua we have a female taken by Belt. 
‘We doubt whether this species is found in the southern continent. A Brazilian 
insect much resembling 7. dinora in general appearance often stands for it in col- 
lections. This we describe below in order to clear up the confusion *. 
T’. dinora is readily distinguished by the beautiful blue gloss on the upper side of the 
wings. ‘his blue colour also extends to the abdomen, which has a large ochre patch 
on either side, but no white lines. 
2. Tmetoglene dodone, sp. n. (Tab. XLII. figg. 2,343,429.) 
T. dinore similis sed alis multo minus hyalinis, venis latius nigris, colore cyaneo, haud nitido. 
Hab. Costa Rica (Carmiol); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion), Chiriqui 
(fibbe, Zahn). 
This species of Tmetoglene is much more abundant than J. dinora, being found 
commonly at Chiriqui, where, so far as we know, 7. dinora does not occur. Its range 
northwards is also more limited, not reaching Nicaragua. It is therefore possible that 
these two allied species do not coexist in the samearea. That they are distinct species 
there can be no doubt, as reference to the figures will show. 
Found on the margins of the forest and second-growth woods (Champion). 
8. Tmetoglene esthema.

Tmetoglene esthema, Feld. Reise d. Nov. Lep. p. 306, t. 38. f. 15, 16’. 
Alis canescentibus, venis omnibus, anticarum costa et apice, margine externo quoque fuscis cceruleo vix tinctis ; 
anticis fascia venis divisa subapicali albicante; subtus ut supra sed omnino albicantioribus ; fronte nigra 
utrinque alba; cruribus anticis albis ; abdomine lateraliter ochraceo. 
Obs. A T. dinora et T. dodone anticarum fascia transversa lata ultracellulari fere absente, alis latioribus minus 
productis, posticarum angulo anali magis acuto differt.

The blue gloss on the wings of this species is more conspicuous in fresh specimens. 
It is readily distinguishable from its allies by the several characters pointed out above, 
though the general resemblance is obvious. 
Dr. Felder’s type came from the Rio Negro!; the species has since been traced to 
* Tmetoglene drymo, sp. n. 
T. dinore primo visu sat similis, colore cyaneo alarum fere absente; posticarum margine interno albo striato, 
abdomine supra et infra albo longitudinaliter bistriato, et anticis subtus ad basin macula ochraceo-rufa 
notatis distinguenda.
