HESPEEOCHAEIS. 127 



bird collector Julian Carmiol, others were subsequently obtained in the same country 

 by Van Patten and Rogers, and we have since traced it through the State of Panama 

 to the neighbourhood of Merida in the highlands of Venezuela. It apparently belongs 

 to the more upland districts, Mr. Champion's specimen having been taken at an eleva- 

 tion of from 3000 to 4000 feet above the sea. 



H. costaricensis is allied to H. marchali, from which it differs in the absence of the 

 black apical markings of the primaries, the less obvious markings on the secondaries 

 beneath, and also on the apex of the primaries. We figure the type from Costa Rica. 



4. Hesperocharis pasiou. 



Pieris pasion, Reak. Pr. Ac. Phil. 1866, p. 336 \ 



Alis cretaceo-albis, immaculatis ; subtus quoque albis. 



$ alis lacteis, anticis ad apicera ipsuin vix fusco limbatis ; subtus venis bene indicatis, anticis ad apicem et 

 area tota postiearum ochraceo lavatis et lineis angulatis obsoletis transnotatis. 



Hab. Mexico, Venta de Zopilote (H. H. Smith), near Vera Cruz ( W. H. Edwards 1 ), 

 Cordova {Bumeli). 



Two specimens from Cordova we believe to be referable to the species described by 

 Reakirt as Pieris pasion, and with these we associate a somewhat imperfect male from 

 Venta de Zopilote in the State of Guerrero. The latter is immaculate white both on 

 the upper and under surface of the wings, and in this respect differs from its nearest 

 ally H. costaricensis. The females have the neuration just perceptibly traced in pale 

 dusky. 



5. Hesperocharis antipater. (Tab. Lix. fig. 16.) 



Hesperocharis antipater, Druce, Cist. Ent. i. p. 285 l . 



Alis lacteis, anticis ad apicem et posticis elongatis venis vix indieatis, subtus fere ut supra. 



Hab. Guatemala, Choctum (F. I). G. & 0. S. x ). 



The single specimen sent us by our correspondent Mr. Hague from Guatemala, 

 which was described by Mr. Druce, is the only one we have as yet met with of this 

 distinct species. It is a male, and allied, as Mr. Druce says, to H. leucania and also to 

 H. anguitia. The elongated wings are characteristic, and it thus differs from all its 

 congeners. 



6. Hesperocharis crocea. (Tab. lix. fig. 15.)
