Calobre (Arcé).— VENEZUELA; AMAZONS VALLEY’; GUIANA’. 
With Mr. Druce’s type of A. micon before us we are unable to distinguish any differ- 
ences whereby to separate it from A. formosus, which seems to enjoy an uninterrupted 
range from Nicaragua to the mouth of the Amazons and Guiana. Its relationship is 
evidently with A. cupris and A. acheus; but it is a very much smaller insect, and has 
characters of its own.

Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, Bugaba (Champion).—Uprrr Amazons’. 
We have several specimens of this pretty species from the State of Panama, which 
agree closely with those captured by Mr. Bates at Ega on the Amazons. ‘The ochreous 
patch in the middle of the wings is hardly so dark as in the southern form, and the 
spots on the primaries of the female are, as a rule, larger ; but neither of these characters 
is sufficiently stable to justify a separation of the Central American and the Amazon 
‘insects. 
This is the only Central American Anteros with which we are acquainted which has 
no submarginal line beneath. 
Found on the forest margins, where once or twice pairs were beaten out on to the 
‘net in copula (Champion). 
4. Anteros roratus, sp. n. 
Alis fuscis, anticis immaculatis, posticis margine costali lacteo; subtus lacteis, medialiter ochraceis, cellulis 
et ultra eas frequenter maculis parvis viridi-argenteis gemmatis, linea maculosa submarginali ejusdem 
coloris. 
9 anticis macula elliptica in medio notatis, posticis dimidio distali plerumque lacteis venis fuscis divisis.

‘Cache (Rogers); Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Ribbe, Champion). 
This is a race of A. chrysoprasta, differing in the males having no milky spot on the 
primaries above; the females, for the most part, but not always, have the distal half of 
the secondaries of this light colour. 
A. roratus seems to be a common species in Chiriqui, whence we have a series of 
examples, but rarer farther north, there being but a single specimen in Belt’s collection, 
and only one was captured by Mr. Champion in Guatemala. 
Found in sunny openings on the margins of the forest. This, like other species of
