2. Charidea arrogans. 
Euchromia (Automolis) arrogans, Walk. Cat. i. p. 214’. 
Charidea arrogans, Butl. Journ. Linn. Soc., Zool. xii. p. 415; Lep. Het. i. p. 42, t. 13. £. 12. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Hoge); Guatemata, Cerro Zunil, Volcan de Atitlan 2500 to 
3500 feet, San Gerénimo, Tamahu, Panima (Champion); British Honpuras, Rio 
Sarstoon (Blancaneaux); Panama, Veraguas (Salvin, mus. D.).—VeEnEZUELA (Becker). 
This species is found over a very extended range of country from Mexico to Vene- 
zuela, although it has not as yet been found in Costa Rica, its place being taken in that 
country by a very closely allied form. ‘The examples from Mexico agree well with the 
type from Venezuela in the British Museum. In the examples from British Honduras 
the spots and band of the primaries are very much paler; but the specimens before me 
from that locality are in poor condition, and that may to some extent be the cause of 
the difference in colour. 
3. Charidea costaricensis, sp.n. (Charidea arrogans, var. costaricensis, 'Tab. 
VIII. fig. 20.) 
Hab. Costa Rica, Cartago (Van Patten, mus. D.), Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (Rogers) ; 
Panama (Staudinger). 
This species is in every respect the same as C. arrogans, except in the colour of the 
outer margins of the secondaries, which are of the same pale yellow as the bands and 
spots of the primaries, instead of bright red as in C. arrogans. I have a large series of 
both before me. C. arrogans appears to be a common insect in Mexico and Guatemala, 
and ©. costaricensis is equally common in Costa Rica, but as yet I have only seen a 
single example from Panama sent by Dr. Staudinger. 
4. Charidea scintillans. 
Euchromia scintillans, Butl. Lep. Exot. t. 61. f. 16°. 
Charidea scintillans, Butl. Journ. Linn. Soc., Zool. xii. p. 416. 
Hab. Costa Rica (Van Patten, mus. D.1), Ivazu, San Francisco, Rio Sucio (Rogers) ; 
Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 4000 to 6000 feet (Champion). 
As far as Iam at present aware this species is only found in Costa Rica and Panama; 
its place being taken in Mexico and Guatemala by a very beautiful little species named 
by Walker C. gloriosa, which I believe to be the Glaucopis bella of Guérin. 
5. Charidea panamensis, sp. n. 
Primaries and secondaries deep black, shot with bright metallic blue at the base; a wide chrome-yellow central 
band crosses the primaries from the costal margin to the outer margin close to the anal angle; the outer 
margin of the secondaries bordered with chrome-yellow: head, thorax, and abdomen bright greenish blue ; 
antenne and palpi black. Expanse 1? inch. ' 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Trétsch, mus. Staudinger). 
This species is allied to C. scintillans, from which it can at once be distinguished by
