Hab. Panama, Calobre (Arcé 1). 
This species is only known to us from three rather damaged specimens sent us by 
Arcé from Calobre, its range, therefore, probably is very limited. Though obviously 
distinct, it is manifestly allied to V. phliassus of Guiana. Their differences can be best 
expressed by stating that, whereas the latter bears a superficial resemblance to Adelpha 
cocala, N. velabrum takes the pattern of A. iphicla.

Hab. Mexico, Mazatlan (Forrer), Oaxaca (Deppe), Cordova (Riimeli); GuaTEMALA ®, 
Polochic valley (Hague), San Gerénimo (Champion): Honpuras!? (Mus. Brit.). 
Though formally described by Hewitson from specimens said to have been taken in 
Honduras, an example had previously remained undescribed in the Berlin Museum for 
upwards of twenty years. It formed part of the rich collection made by Deppe in Mexico. 
In the latter country it appears to be not uncommon, and we have traced it as far north 
as Mazatlan. In Guatemala itis locally distributed, but not uncommon in open second- 
growth woods, at San Gerénimo 3000 feet above the sea, and is also found in the valley 
of the Polochic. Southward of Honduras its place is taken by the next species, N. adel- 
phinum, a very close ally.
