Hab. Guatemaa, Cubilguitz (Champion); Costa Rica, Irazu 7000 feet, Cache ( Rogers);

This species is very constant ; the specimens before me do not vary in the least degree. 
3. Polypetes demades, sp. n. 
Primaries pale brown, the veins all paler in colour, crossed by three indistinct dark brown bands and three 
dusky white streaks near the apex ; secondaries uniform pale brown, slightly hyaline near the base: head,.

similar to the male, but the secondaries are blacker. Expanse, ¢ 1} inch, ? 12 inch. 
Hab. Guatemata, Aceituno (Champion); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 to 
4000 feet (Champion). 
This species is very distinct from all the others described here; it comes nearest 
P. eriphus. 
4. Polypetes eriphus, sp. n. 
Primaries dark brown, all the veins pale yellowish brown, a semihyaline oval white spot at the end of the cell, 
and a narrow submarginal brownish yellow band extending from the apex to the anal angle ; secondaries 
hyaline white, the abdominal half and the outer margin broadly bordered with black: head, thorax, and 
abdomen dusky black ; antenne and palpi black; legs brownish black. The female similar to the male, 
but brighter in colour, and the black margins on the secondaries not quite so broad. Expanse, ¢ 1,3, inch,

Had. Guatemata, Panima in Vera Paz (Champion). 
One example only was received of this distinct species, 
5. Polypetes esernius, sp. n. 
Primaries dark brown, the base, a round spot at the end of the cell, three small streaks close to the apex, and 
a spot near the anal angle hyaline; secondaries white, the apex and outer margin bordered with black : 
head, thorax, and abdomen brownish black ; antenne and palpi black ; tegule tipped with orange ; legs 
black. The female similar to the male, but rather larger. Expanse, ¢ 1 inch, @ 1,3, inch.

This species is not very closely allied to any other known to me.
