as Papilio avitus, but which clearly belongs to a different insect. We had only one 

 male specimen from our country ; but Mr. Schaus's collection contains three males, all 

 from the State of Vera Cruz. These agree closely with others from Para and Santarem 

 taken by Mr. Bates, and with Hewitson's type of E. phasias in the British Museum. 



The male genitalia have a pointed tegumen cleft at the end, and with a lobe on either 

 side of the base ; the scaphium is well developed and granular at the end ; the harpes 

 are rounded at the end, with a lobe in the middle, and a recurved spine on the dorsal 

 edge ; the middle of the dorsal edge is serrate and also beyond the spine. (See Tab. 

 LXXVIIL fig. 17.)

Alis saturate brunneis, fasciis duabus communibus valde irregularibus, una submarginali altera per cellulas, 

 nigricanti-brunneis ; anticis punctis tribus subapicalibus medio paulo proximo : subtus ut supra, alis vix 

 pallidioribus et fasciis magis distinctis sed maculosis ; posticis triente anali grisea maculis quatuor fasciae 

 submarginalis continente ; palpis griseis, abdomine infra griseo, plica costali obvia. 



$ mari similis, sed major, alis magis abbreviatis et plica costali nulla.

We have two females of this species, sent us by Mr. Herbert Smith, which agree 

 with a male from Chiriqui lent us by Dr. Staudinger and named from the type of 

 Telemiades megallus, which was taken on the San Juan River in Western Colombia. 



The species differs from the other members of the genus which we possess in having 

 the outer third of the secondaries beneath greyish blue — a character often found in 

 members of the Section B of the HesperiinaB. The cell is long, showing its position 

 here, and there is a distinct costal fold to the primaries of the male.
