SAROTA.—-ANTEROS. 437 
Hab. Guaremaua, Choctum (Hague), Sinanja (Champion); Nicaragua, Chontales 
(Belt); Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
This species, so like its allies on the upper side, and resembling S. gyas in the colour 
of its legs, may readily be distinguished by the submarginal elongate spots on the 
primaries beneath, which it alone possesses. The metallic costal border connects it 
with S. myrtea and A. acantus, both of which, however, have the front legs black. 
Both our Guatemala specimens are females and are of large size; they do not, however, 
differ essentially from those taken by Mr. Champion in the State of Panama, where he 
found them in open places in the second-growth woods, sometimes about flowers. 
4, Sarota myrtea, sp. n. 
A, gyadi similis sed cruribus anticis fusco-nigris (haud fulvo-albidis) distinguendus. Alis subtus multo obscuri- 
oribus et maculis nigris castaneo circumdatis, anticis costa ipsa metallica. 
Hab. Guatemata, Cubilguitz (Champion) ; Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt). 
In the colour of its legs this species comes close to S. acantus, but there are differ- 
ences in the markings of the under side: the second submarginal metallic band in 
8. acantus, as we have already said, extends very nearly to the costa; in the allied 
species it stops short at the median nervure, and beyond towards the apex are two 
metallic bands running parallel to the costa, the costa itself being metallic, whereas in 
A. acantus it is chestnut; in S. myrtea, also, the black markings are more broken up 
into spots, and are surrounded with chestnut. 
We have only three specimens, all males from the above localities. 
5. Sarota psaros, sp.n. (Anteros psaros, Tab. XLII. figg. 14, 10.) 
Supra alis nigricante-brunneis, macula ad cellule finem indistincte nigra ; posticis maculis tribus subimar- 
ginalibus ad angulum analem nigricantibus, atomis nonnullis ad angulum eundem fulvis, ciliis alterne 
fuscis et albis, ad fines ramorum posticarum valde productis ; anticis margine externo medialiter productis, 
subtus niveis fusco et fulvo sparsim atomatis, ad basin castaneis nigro maculatis lineisque variis metallicis 
notatis ; marginibus externis castaneis, lineis submarginalibus duabus, exteriore nigra, interiore metallica, 
et maculis submarginalibus eodem modo pictis ; anticis ultra cellulam castaneis, nigro et colore metallico 
punctatis; cruribus niveis. 
do adhuc ignotus. 
Hab. Guaremaua, Cahabon (Champion). 
Mr. Champion obtained a single female specimen of this beautiful species at Cahabon. 
It is quite unlike any other Sarota, the colouring of the under side being very peculiar. 
The serrate margin of the hind wings suggests an affinity with S. acanthoides.

We recognize thirteen species of this genus as at present restricted, that is excluding 
the members of the genus Sarota, which have hitherto been included in it. Six of
