48. GONILOBA AZUL, HOV. Sp. 



Upper surface dark brown ; basal third of both wings brilliantly glossed 

 with shining blue ; on the primaries, a short, translucent-white costal bar, 

 towards the apex cut into five spots by the subcostal veinlets and radials ; a 

 broad mesial, transverse, transparent, white band, composed of six sjjots, ex- 

 tends from the inner third of the costa to near the outer margin, a short dis- 

 tance above the inner angle. 



Underneath brown, with a darker median shade on both w'ngs ; markings 

 of primaries remain the same ; a yellow spot at their base, and beyond, as far 

 as the central transverse baud, glossed along and below the costa with shining 

 blue. 



Costa of secondaries broadly white at the base, and tapering towards the 

 middle, there terminating ; a small brown spot at the shoulder, before which 

 it is faintly yellowish. Expanse 2*5 inches. 



Body brown, clothed above on the thorax with shining blue hairs, below 

 with ochreous yellow ; abdomen brown, the segments marked with blue hairs 

 above and brown below. Head and collar lustrous green ; palpi yellowish- 

 white. Antennae black. 



Hub. "Mexico, near Vera Cruz." Wm. H. Edwards. 



49. Leptalis mita, nov. sp. 



Male, Above sulphur- yellow ; fore wings with a black outer margin, 

 broadest at the apex, there extending along the costa a little more than quar- 

 ter its length, and terminating in a rounded knob, resting upon the first me- 

 dian veinlet ; the interior outline of this marginal band is sinuated, and 

 shaped much as in the allied species kollari and licinia, presenting two inte- 

 rior, deeply curved indentations, and a short, nearly straight line on the 

 costa ; tins border also contains in its upper part an oblique yellow bar, 

 touching the costa, and rounded posteriorly. Basal portion of costa powdered 

 with black atoms ; a short oblique black bar runs to the sub-costal vein, at 

 about the middle of the margin. 



Secondaries immaculate. Expanse 1*87 inches. 



Underneath sulphureous ; the outer portion of the black margin disappears, 

 leaving only a transverse apical black belt, extending to neither margin ; the 

 black costal bar remains, and there are some contiuued black atoms in the 

 cell below it. 



Secondaries present a transverse blackish ray below the cell, which reaches 

 to neither edge. 



Body : thorax above black, covered with yellowish-green hairs, below 

 yellow ; abdomen yellowish-white ; antennae black, with white annulations ; 

 (dub purplish-brown. 



Hab. "Mexico, near Vera Cruz." Wm. H. Edwards. 



Wings shaped as in Lept. licinia ; of the described species, it approximates 

 most nearly to the Lp.pt. isodrita, Boisd., of Brazil, of which it is probably a 

 northern modification. 



50 Achlyodes Hevvitsonius, nov. sp. 



Upper surface : primaries grayish brown, flecked with spots, and crossed 

 by lines of paler hue ; a dark brown terminal line along the outer margin, 

 followed by a right line of pale grayish brown, which runs obliquely inwardly 

 from the apex, becoming lost in the discal shades ; then a large apical tri- 

 angular fulvous-brown patch, with the base placed on the costa, and an 

 oblique band of the same color running from the lower portion or apex of the 

 triangle down to the middle of the inner margin, the veins and veinlets cross- 

 ing both becoming dark brown during their passage ; a large interior trape- 

 zoidal patch, darkest at either end, extends from the costa to the lower part 

 of the cell, and a subbasal transverse band stretches from the subcostal to 

 the submedian vein, both fulvous brown. 



Secondaries ochraceous, more brownish on the abdominal margin, and
