Hab. Mexico, Presidio de Mazatlan (Forrer), Soledad, Tierra Colorada, Dos Arroyos, 

 Rio Papagaio, and Acaguizotla, all in Guerrero (H. H. Smith), Atoyac {Schumann, 

 B. H. Smith), Orizaba (II. J. Elwes), Valladolid in Yucatan (Gaumer); Guatemala, 

 Pacific coast, Polochic and Chisoy Valleys (F. D. G. & 0. S.), San Geronimo (Cham- 

 pion) ; Panama, Chiriqui (mus. Staudinger). — Guiana. 



We have seen eighteen males of this species, all but one from Central America. 

 The males differ from those of A. mella in having the fulvous coloration less extended 

 on the upperside, and forming sharply defined markings. A Mexican specimen is 

 figured. For the genitalia, see Tab. XCIV. fig. 19. 



b. Primaries and secondaries of the male with fulvous, flavous, or white spots, those 

 on the secondaries sometimes indistinct; the fringe fulvous or griseous. 



7. Atrytone myron, sp. n. (Tab. XCIV. figg. 20, 21, 22, s ; 23, 24, 2 .) 



Alis fuscis, anticis maculis tribus in linea obliqua infra et ultra cellulam, ilia in medio maxima, infima 

 elongata venam submedianam attingente : subtus anticis fuscis, costa et apice ocbraceis aut viridi- 

 ochraceis, maculis sicut in pagina superiore sed majoribus, infima maxima, elongata et pallide fiava ; 

 posticis ochraceis aut viridi-ochraceis immaculatis. 



5 . Alis fuscis, maculis tribus in linea obliqua infra et ultra cellulam, ea in medio subquadrata, infima venam 

 submedianam attingente, una minuta subapicali (interdum absente), sordide albis : subtus anticis fuscis, 

 costa et apice viridi-ocbraceis sicut in mare, sed sordide albis ; posticis immaculatis et viridi-ochraceis. 



Hab. Mexico, Atoyac and Fortin in Vera Cruz (//. II. Smith), Coatepec (coll. 

 Schaus); Panama, Chiriqui (mus. Staudinger). — Colombia; Venezuela; British 

 Guiana; Bolivia. 



Of this species we have seen six specimens from Eastern Mexico, including both 

 sexes, a male from Chiriqui, and three males from more southern localities. In its 

 markings the male of A. myron is exceedingly like the same sex of A. helva, but on 

 dissecting examples of each we find that the genitalia differ widely. The primaries, 

 too, of the present species have the spot nearest the inner margin more elongate and 

 the median spot relatively larger ; on the underside, the lowest spot of the oblique 

 series is very much larger than the rest, and it is usually of a dirty white colour,
