394 SUPPLEMENT. 



Alis sordide fulvis, anticis dimidio apicali fuseescente, maculis duabus elongatis cellulam transeunte nigrescentibus, 

 interiore interdum in duas partes divisa, maculis octo exterioribus, tribus ultra cellulam, aliis tribus infra 

 eas, una apicali, una quoque infra earn, albidis, ocellis duobus nigris inter venas (interdum albo pupillatis) 

 marginem externum versus, lineis submarginalibus duabus subparallelibus nigrescentibus ; posticis ocellis 

 nigris sex, plerumque cseruleo pupillatis in serie irregulari submarginali, ultra eas lineis duabus, interiore 

 valde undulata : subtus anticis fusco-griseis, infra venam medianam interdum rubescentioribus, maculis 

 albis et ocellis duobus ut supra, ocelloque tertio apicem versus ; posticis grisescentibus, lineis obscuris 

 variis traDseuntibus, ocellis ut supra sed majoribus et omnibus caeruleo pupillatis flavoque circumcinctis, 

 lineis submarginalibus ut in pagina superiore. 



2 mari similis. 



Hal. Noeth Amekica, New England to Texas 2 , Arizona 3 4 .— Mexico, Northern 

 Sonora (Morrison), Durango city (Becker). 



Our collection contains twelve specimens of this species from within our limits (nine 

 males from Sonora and two males and one female from Durango), as well as others 

 from the United States. The Sonoran examples belong to the form D. leilia and the 

 Durango ones to D. celtis. The differences between these two insects as given by 

 Mr. Edwards seem to be of little importance when a long series is examined, as 

 intermediates occur. Named examples of both sexes of B. celtis sent us by 

 Mr. Strecker confirm us in this opinion. We notice, however, that the Sonoran and 

 Arizona insects are redder on the upperside and on the underside of the primaries 

 below the median nervure. 



PREPONA (I. p. 320). 



Prepona demophon (I. p. 320). 



To the localities given, add:— Mexico, Campala (Forrer); Guatemala, Volcan de 

 Santa Maria (Richardson); Hondueas, San Pedro Sula (Wittkugel) ; Nicaeagua, 

 Matagalpa (Richardson). 



The single specimen from Mexico is in very bad condition, but no doubt belongs 

 here.

 Alis nigricantibus, fascia communi mediana nitente cgerulea ; maculis duabus parvis ad angulum analem 

 aliisque obsoletis submarginalibus cyaneis : subtus sericeo-cinereo-brunneis fere unicoloribus, dimidio 

 basali lineis paucis nigris irregulariter transfasciatis ; posticis maculis ad angulum analem cyaneis et ad 

 marginem externum sicut in pagina superiore. 



Hah. Mexico, Coatepec (Brooks l ). 



We possess a single male specimen of this species, given us by Mr. Brooks of 

 Coatepec and captured in that neighbourhood, and Mr. Schaus informs us that he 

 has a female of it, also from Mexico. It resembles in some respects P. synchroma of 

 Staudinger, and has a similar distribution of the blue colour on the upper surface
