9. Castnia clitarcha. (Tab. III. fig. 7.) 
Castnia clitarcha, Westw. Trans. Lion. Soc. ser. 2, Zool. i. p. 176, t. 30. f. 2. 
Hab. Panama (Salvin, mus. Oxf.), Chiriqui (Ribbe, mus. Staudinger), Bugaba, 800 to 
1500 feet (Champion). 
The specimen figured by Prof. Westwood as the male of this species, I believe to be 
the male of Castnia inca. The true male of C. clitarcha now figured is a much larger 
insect, agreeing much more closely with the female. It has the outer margins of the 
secondaries black instead of orange, as in that species. C. clitarcha appears to have 
a very limited range in Central America; as yet I have only seen specimens from 
Chiriqui. 
10. Castnia chelone. 
Castnia chelone, Hopft. Neue Schmett. Heft i. t. v. f. 1, 2°. 
Hab. Mexico }, 
I have never seen specimens of this species ; but it appears to be allied to C. mygdon 
from North Brazil. 
11. Castnia viryi. 
Castnia viryi, Boisd. Sp. Gén. des Lép.-Hét. i. p. 515, t. 2. f. 3%. 
Hab. Mexico!; Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Zrotsch, mus. Staudinger). 
I have seen several specimens of this species; it is clearly the northern form of 
C. evalthe, which does not occur in our country. 
12. Castnia diva. (Tab. IV. fig. 3.)

pion).—CoLoMBIA ®. 
This fine species is generally distributed throughout Central America. The specimens 
from the Volcan de Chiriqui differ from the type in several respects; the primaries are 
of a much darker colour, and almost without the metallic spots; the orange marginal 
band of the secondaries is almost wanting, being broken up into two or three spots close 
to the apex. Some specimens recently obtained by the British Museum from Colombia 
agree best with those from Chiriqui. I think it quite probable that the more southern 
form may prove to be a distinct species; but upon that point I do not at present feel 
certain, not having as yet a good series for comparison. I have figured a Chiriqui 
example, showing its difference from the more northern form, already figured in 
Mr. Butler’s ‘ Lepidoptera Exotica.’
