Hesperocharis graphites, Bates, Ent. Monthly Mag. i, p. 32 \ 



Alis sulphureis, anticis maculis duabus ad cellulae finem, una in costa, altera in vena radiali, apice et margine 

 externo anguste fusco limbato, linea irregulari angulata interiore margini externo subparalleli ; posticis ad 

 angulum analem denticulatis et venis omnibus ad marginem externum nigro tinctis : subtus anticis in 

 cellula croceis, maculis et lineis ad apicem et cellulae finem ut in pagina superiore, aliisque in margine 

 ipso nigris ; posticis lineis variis undulatis vel angulatis transvittatis, maculisque quinque in cellula 

 coloris ejusdem. 



Bab. Guatemala, Central valleys (F. D. G. & 0. S. l ) ; Costa Rica, Rio Sucio (Sogers) ; 

 Panama, Chiriqui (Arce), Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 



A single specimen, obtained by us in the interior of Guatemala, formed the basis of 

 Mr. Bates's description, and this is the only Guatemalan example we have seen. Our 

 other specimens are from Costa Rica and the State of Panama ; these are of a rather 

 brighter yellow colour than the type, and the submarginal band of lunules on the 

 primaries, both above and below, is rather nearer the margin itself. Like its congeners 

 it is a mountain species ; our specimen was taken at upwards of 3000 feet above the 

 sea, and one of Mr. Champion's at a similar elevation in the State of Panama. We 

 figure the type from Guatemala. 



2. Hesperocharis avivolans. 



Pieris avivolans, Butl. P. Z. S. 1865, p. 457, t. 26. f. 4 1 . 



H. graphiti similis, anticis colore fusco marginis externi latiore, posticis maculis nigris in venis ad marginem 

 externum majoribus; subtus anticis in cellula minus croceis, lineisque omnibus in alis ambabus latioribus. 



Hob. Mexico 1 , Omilteme (II. H. Smith), Amecameca (F. D. G.), mountains of 

 Oaxaca (Fenochio). 



This is the Mexican form of II. graphites, from which it differs in the greater amount 

 of black towards the outer margin and the apex of the primaries. It was described by 

 Mr. Butler from a Mexican specimen in the British Museum. We have several from 

 the same country, showing it is a highland species, ranging to an elevation of 8000 or 

 9000 feet. 



3. Hesperocharis costaricensis. (Tab. LX. figg. 3, 4.)

Alis flavescenti-albis, anticis ad apicem ipsum vix rufo limbatis ; subtus anticis, costa et apice cum area 

 tota posticarum pallide ocbraceis, bis lineis obsoletis fuscis, marginem externum prope valde angulatis 

 variegatis. '
