HETEEOPIA. 297 



occur within our limits. H. bryaocis and H melon have the most northern range, 

 occurring in the Mexican State of Vera Cruz. 



1. Heteropia bryaxis. (Tab. LXXVI. fig. 25 s .) 



Eudamus bryaxis, Hew. Descr. Hesp. p. 11 x ; Ex. Butt., Eudamus, t. 1. ff. 2, 3 2 . 



Alis nigricanti-brunneis purpureo tinctis; anticis ad basin posticis fere ommno ocbraceis, anticis maculis 

 quatuor in liaea recta transversa, una bifida eostali, una in cellula, duabus ad angulum analein, macula 

 altera subquadrata extra eas, punctis quatuor subapicalibus, et altera infra eas omnibus semibyalinis ; 

 ciliis albidis brunneo interruptis : subtus purpureo-brunneis ; anticis maculis hyalinis ut supra ; posticis 

 fasciis tribus irregularibus semi-interruptis, una basali, altera per cellulam, tertia discali, disco reliquo 

 albido, lunulis submarginalibus fuscis. 



Hab. Mexico, Atoyac (H. H Smith, Schumann), Paso de San Juan (Schaus), 

 Cordova (Bumeli) ; Guatemala l 2 , San Geronimo, Polochic valley (F. D. G. & 0. S.). 



A well-marked species, described by Hewitson from a Guatemalan specimen. We 

 have several examples from that country and others from the Mexican State of Vera 

 Cruz. 



The male genitalia have a short tegumen ending in a pair of truncate hooks ; the 

 scaphium is long and lies close under the tegumen; the harpes are rounded, but 

 deeply cleft at the end ; the lower segment turns upwards and terminates in several 

 well-defined teeth. (See Tab. LXXVI. fig. 25.) 



2. Heteropia melon, sp. n. (Tab. LXXVI. figg. 26, 27.) 



H. bryaxi similis, sed alis supra ad basin brunneis haud ocbraceis, et posticis subtus ad marginem externum 

 haud albo notatis distinguenda. 



Hab. Mexico, Jalisco (Schumann), Amula, Dos Arroyos, Venta de Zopilote (H. H. 

 Smith), Einconada, Paso de San Juan (W. Schaus), Coatepec (Brooks, W. Schaus); 

 Guatemala, Motagua valley (F. B. G. & 0. S.). 



Closely resembles H. bryaocis, but differs in the points mentioned above. Most of 

 our specimens are from Western Mexico ; but it is not wholly confined to that district, 

 for we have one example, clearly of the same species, which was sent us by Mr. Brooks 

 from Coatepec in the State of Vera Cruz, and a single specimen captured by ourselves 

 in the valley of the Motagua in Guatemala also belongs here. 



3. Heteropia imalena. 



Telegonus imalena, Butl. Lep. Ex. p. 109, t. 40. f . 1 x ; Butl. & Druce, P. Z. S. 1874, p. 367 2 . 

 Heteropia imitatrix, Mab. Le Nat. xi. p. 68 (1889) 3 . 



H. bryaxi similis, sed alis supra viridescenti-nigris ad basin olivaceo nigricantibus : subtus posticis ad marginem 

 externum vix pallidioribus, fasciis transversis nigris magis obviis. 



Hab. Costa Eica ( Van Patten * 2 ) ; Panama, Chiriqui (Bibbe), Bugaba, Pena Blanca 

 (Champion), Calobre (Arce). — Lowee Amazons, Manaos 3 .
