70 HETEROCERA. 
2. Aclytia punctata. 
Aclytia punctata, Butl., Journ. Linn. Soc., Zool. xii. p. 414’. 
Hab. Guatemata, Teleman (Champion); Honpuras! (Dyson). 
I believe this to be an extreme form of A. heber. 
3. Aclytia ventralis. 
Glaucopis ventralis, Guér. Icon. Régne Anim., Ins. text, 503°. 
Aclytia ventralis, Walker, Cat. 1. p. 245. 
Hab. Mexico 1. 
This species is quite unknown to me. 
4, Aclytia conspicua, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. fig. 23.) 
Primaries black ; secondaries whitish hyaline, with the apices and outer margins broadly black: head, antenne, 
and palpi black, the head with a blue spot between the antenne; thorax black, with two bright-red spots 
on each side, the first being at the back of the head, the second close to the base of the primaries ; abdo- 
men on the upperside metallic bluish-green, with two narrow black lines down the centre from the base 
to the apex, the underside of the abdomen pale citron-yellow ; legs brownish black, the coxe of the fore 
legs citron-yellow. Expanse 13 inch. 
Hab. Guatemaua, Las Mercedes 3000 feet, Volcan de Atitlan (Champion); Panama, 
Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). 
This species is very distinct from any other with which I am acquainted, and it. is 
the largest of the genus. Dr. Staudinger has also received specimens taken by Herr 
Trétsch on the Volcano of Chiriqui. 
CHARIDEA. 
Charidea, Dalman, Vet. Ac. Hand]. 1816, p. 225 ; Butler, Journ. Linn. Soc., Zool. xii. p. 415, t. 29. 
f. 11. 
This genus now has about thirty species placed in it, several of which are of very 
little value, and when more material comes to hand will doubtless prove to be only 
slight varieties of other species. Charidea contains some of the most beautiful of all 
the moths, the metallic colours of their bodies and the undersides of their wings 
surpassing in brilliancy the bright blues of the Morphide. ‘The genus is well repre- 
sented in our country by about seven species. 
1. Charidea submacula. 
Euchromia (Automolis) submacula, Walk. Cat. i. p. 214°. 
Charidea submacula, Butl. loc. cit. p. 415; Lep. Het. i. p. 41, t. 13. f. 7. 
Hab. Mexico (Boucard, mus. D.); GuateMaLa, Teleman (Champion); Costa Rica, 
Cartago (Van Patten, mus. D.); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (£16b¢).— VENEZUELA 1. 
This species appears to be a very scarce insect in our country. I have only received 
very few examples; these are generally larger than those from Venezuela.
