Alis fuscis, ad basin viridi tinctis, stigmate grisescente, anticis maculis tribus albo-byalinis, una elongata 

 obliqua et curvata in cellula, secunda transversa inter ramos medianos primum et secundum, tertia minore 

 ultra earn : subtus ut supra, sed paulo pallidioribus, anticis costa albida apicem versus, posticis sparsim 

 griseo suffusis ; ciliis ad angulum analem anticarum et posticis omnino ochraceis ; abdomine subtus 

 coloris ejusdem : palpis quoque pilis sordide albis ; clava antennarum subtus ochracea.

Hal. Nicakagua, Chontales {Belt) 



One worn male of this very distinct species was given us by Belt. It is most nearly- 

 allied to P. corydon (Fabr.), but the underside of the secondaries is less mottled and 

 the fringe of these wings is ochreous. 



b. The hyaline spots differently placed in the two sexes, yellow in the male, white 



in the female. 



3. Perichares lotus. (Tab. CVI. figg. 18, 19, 20, 6 ; 21, 22, $ .)

Alis fuscis, ad basin nitente viridibus, stigmate grisescente, anticis macula magna in cellula extrinsecus exca- 

 vata, altera elongata infra earn inter ramos medianos secundum et tertium, flavo-hyalinis : subtus ut

Hab. Mexico (coll. nostr.), Jalapa, Coatepec (coll. Schaus) ; Panama, Chiriqui (coll. 

 Staudinger). — Colombia; Venezuela 1 ; Ecuadoe; Trinidad. 



Mr Schaus has three males and a female of this species from the neighbourhood of 

 Jalapa in Mexico, and we have two examples from the same country without precise 

 localities; Dr. Staudinger, too, has lent us a specimen from Chiriqui. We have a 

 female from Parana which evidently belongs to a closely allied form, but in this the 

 oblique white band on the primaries is very narrow, and there is no spot beyond it 

 between the median branches. The sexes, as pointed out above, are very different. 

 The type of Telegonus lotus, a female, is in our collection. 



The males are very like those of P. corydon, with which the species is confused in 

 the Hewitson collection ; there are, however, only two hyaline spots on the primaries 

 in this sex ; the females are very dissimilar. We figure a pair from Jalapa, from 

 Mr. Schaus's collection ; also the genitalia of the male, for which see Tab. CVI.

Watson takes as the type of this genus Papilio sergestus, Cram., and associates with 

 it various other Tropical- American species, one at least of which (Hesperia chiomara,
