Hab. Guatemaua, Polochic valley (Hague); Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt); Panama, 
Chiriqui (idse), Chitra (Arcé).— Amazons VALLEY!?; GUIANA. 
As will be seen above, this species has an extensive range, but throughout is very 
constant, specimens from Guatemala and the Lower Amazons presenting no tangible 
points of difference. Mr. Belt, with whom Symmachia was a favourite genus, captured 
a good series of specimens at Chontales. 
4. Symmachia threissa.

Alis chalybeo-nigris, anticis macula parva triangulari diaphana ad'cellule finem ; posticis area cellulari coccinea ;. 
subtus fusco-nigricantibus, posticis punctis albidis vix maculatis; abdominis lateribus coccineis. 
@ nobis ignota. 
Hab. Nicaracva, Chontales (Belt 12). 
To the late Mr. Belt we are indebted for this species, of which he took a good many 
examples. 
5. Symmachia championi, sp. n. 
Alis viridi-nigris, maculis ad basin anticarum pure nigris, posticarum area costali coccinea; subtus fuscis, 
posticis maculis albidis variis vix notatis. 
9 alis fuscis, anticis plaga apicali et maculis variis basalibus ferrugineis, costa ultra cellulam maculis tribus. 
albidis ; posticis sordide albo-indistincte maculatis ; subtus pallidioribus. 
Hab. Guatemata, San Gerdénimo (Champion). 
This and the next species strongly resemble S. probetor of the Amazons and Guiana, 
but there are differences in both sexes which render them easy to be distinguished. 
The present species may at once be recognized by the black spots at the base of the 
primaries of the male, and the female by its generally darker colour, all the spots 
' being very small. 
Mr. Champion’s specimens were all captured at San Gerdnimo, and include a pair 
taken together; the species inhabits humid places in the second-growth woods at an 
elevation of 3000 feet. 
6. Symmachia, belti, sp. n. 
S. championi similis, sed paulo minor, maculis nigris ad basin anticarum nullis, plaga magna @ margine interno 
ad cellulam deinde ad angulum apicalem producta nigra. 
@ alis marginibus externis rufis nigro maculatis, posticis undique maculis rufis adspersis, subtus maculis 
omnibus sordide albis, multo majoribus.
