a species with different male organs, and therefore not really allied. A comparison of 

 the figures will render their external differences apparent. 



The species most nearly allied to the present one is Leucochitonea chceremon, Mab., 

 which is also a Carrhenes. This is a Brazilian insect, of which we have a male named 

 by comparison with the type kindly lent us by M. Mabille. 



C. chceremon is a larger insect, with the markings of the wings more distinct, and a 

 more definite light-coloured area on the secondaries.

3. Carrhenes callipetes, sp. n. (Tab. LXXXV. fi gg . 24, 25, 26 j .) 



C. fuscescenti similis, sed anticis maculis semihyalinis magis numerosis, macula ad cellulse finem duplici et . 

 altera supra eas ad costam, maculis discalibus majoribus, duabus inter venam submedianam et ramum 

 medianum ; posticis quoque maculis duabus discalibus semihyalinis : subtus macula ad angulum analem 

 nigra nulla.

In general colour this species resembles C. fuscescens, but it belongs to the group in 

 which the male organs differ widely from those of that species. The hyaline spots on 

 the primaries are more numerous, and a band of them extends over the discal area of 

 the primaries nearly to the inner margin. The number of hyaline spots also separates 

 C. callipetes from C. canescens ; the latter is also a paler insect, with the underside 

 much whiter. 



C. callipetes has a wide range, extending from Southern Mexico to Colombia, but 

 appears to be nowhere common. 



The male genitalia have a forked tegumen, with a short blunt point at the base on 

 either side ; the scaphium is well developed : the harpes end in a blunt slightly upturned 

 point; about the middle of the dorsal edge are two small lobes, which cross each other; 

 a long serrate lobe starts from the base of the inner surface, and is directed forwards 

 with a slight downward curve. (See Tab. LXXXV. fig. 26.) 



4. Carrhenes meridensis. (Tab. LXXXV. figg. 27, 28 s .) 



Achlyodes meridensis, Stand. 



C. fuscescenti et C. callipeti quoad paginam superiorem alarum similis, sed subtus posticis area interna usque 

 ad angulum analem et marginem internum glaucescente alba facile distinguendus. 



Hab. Costa Rica, Cache (Rogers).— Venezuela. 



Dr. Staudinger has supplied us with a specimen of this species from Venezuela, with 

 the name Achlyodes meridensis attached to it ; this title we adopt, though apparently 

 not hitherto published. C. meridensis can readily be distinguished from all the other 

 species of Carrhenes mentioned here by the glaucous colour which overspreads
