420 Mr. E. Doubleday on some new species of Butterflies. 



and occupying a large portion of the space between the first and 

 second branches nearly to the anal angle. Beyond the discoidal 

 cell is an oblique fascia composed of a long orange spot divided 

 by the nervures, preceded by a quadrate and followed by an ob- 

 long spot, partly orange, partly yellow. Between this and the 

 apex is a second macular band composed of a quadrate spot on 

 the costa, two large oval ones and a small rounded one near the 

 outer margin. Posterior wings elongate-oval, the costa and pos- 

 terior margins brown, the disc orange, bordered above and below 

 by a black vitta ; these vittse unite at the apex so as to inclose the 

 orange entirely. Base of the wing with a small yellow dash. 



Below. — The anterior wings are marked as above, but are 

 broadly umber-coloured towards the apex, where there are a few 

 white freckles. The posterior wings are umber-coloured, with 

 an imperfect yellow vitta below the cell, followed by some dark 

 clouds ; apex with indistinct fuscous and yellow clouds and irre- 

 gular white freckles. 



Head black ; antennse pale ; thorax and abdomen above black.

Lept. Medora. Alis omnibus nigris, anticis emarginatis, fascia trans- 

 versa, maculis duabus apicalibus, alteraque marginis interioris flavis, 

 posticis disco flavo. Exp. alar. 2J unc. 



Above. — Anterior wings slightly emarginate near the anal 

 angle, black with a transverse yellow band beyond the discoidal 

 cell, commencing on the costa and extending nearly to the anal 

 angle, between which and the apex are two rather rounded yel- 

 low spots placed transversely, the anterior the smaller, and on the 

 inner margin, beyond the middle, a short dash of the same co- 

 lour. Posterior wings broad with the disc yellow, the abdominal 

 and outer margins broadly black ; the costa of a satiny ash-colour, 

 marked with a large chalky-white spot. 



Below. — All the wings yellow, with a large brown spot near 

 the middle of the costa, and a transverse band of the same co- 

 lour extending from the costa to the outer margin ; the inner 

 margin broadly satiny-ash with a large chalky-white spot, corre- 

 sponding to the markings on the costa of the posterior wings 

 above. Posterior wings yellow, with a large irregular brown patch 

 beyond the middle, a smaller one of the same colour near the 

 outer angle, and an indistinct narrow brown band extending from 

 the abdominal margin near the anal angle towards the middle of 

 the wing. 



Head gray ; thorax and abdomen above black, beneath gray. 



From S ta Fe de Bogota. 



This species, with every other character of the true Leptalides, 

 has apparently the discoidal cell of the anterior wings open.
