NYMPHIDIUM. 473 
The single male specimen, from which Mr. Bates’s description was drawn, is still the 
only one we have received from our country; but Dr. Staudinger sent us another 
male from Colombia, which only differs from our type by the greater extension of the 
fulvous band to the costa of the primaries. 
It is a well-marked species, and perhaps most nearly allied to W. geda, as Mr. Bates 
pointed out. |

Alis fusco-nigricantibus, annulis inter et infra cellulam griseis, maculis submarginalibus nigris griseo circum- 
cinctis in posticis fere confluentibus, litura submarginali intra eas rufescente, fascia communi lata (in 
anticis subtriangulari) alba; subtus multo pallidioribus sed eodem modo notatis, maculis submarginalibus 
posticarum magis obviis et colore rufescente nullo. 
¢ mari similis sed plaga anticarum alba multo minus acuta, anticarum costa angustiore fusca.

The variation in the size of this species is considerable, but the average of those from 
Central America is much less than that of the southern examples, but mingled with 
large southern specimens are others with dimensions no greater than our Central 
American insects. 
N. molpe is one of the most abundant species of the genus in Central America, being 
found chiefly in the low-lying country up to an elevation of 3000 feet. 
8. Nymphidium lamis. 
Papilio lamis, Cram. Pap. Ex. t. 835. F, G’. 
Alis fascis, fascia communi (in anticis triangulari) alba, lineolis intra cellulam anticarum, semicirculisque 
submarginalibus griseo-ceruleis et intra eos litura rufa; subtus ut supra, semicirculis intus aut nigris aut 
albis, punctis quibusdam nigris albo circumeinctis ad basin. 
@ mari similis. 
Hab. Panama, Veraguas (Arcé).—GuIANa '. 
We have only a single female specimen of this species from our region, which, how- 
ever, agrees so closely with others from Guiana as to leave no reasonable doubt as to 
their identity.
