Catagramma horstii n. sp. 



Expanse 43 mm. Primaries black with bluish reflection toward the 

 apex. Base of wing, through discoidal cell, red. From the costa, a red 

 band extends across the wing, almost to the inner angle. There is a 

 thin orange band in the apex. The exterior margin has a broken white 

 edging. 



The secondaries are black, along the anterior portion, shifting to 

 dark blue toward the exterior margin. A red bar projects from the 

 base through the discoidal cell. The entire wing has a broad white 

 unbroken margin. Antennae and upper part of body, dark brown. 



Under side in general as in the other of the sorana forms. The solid 

 white margin of the inferior wing is as pronounced as on the upper 

 side.

Perisama inconspicua n. sp. 



Expanse 42 mm. Upper sides in general as in the species of the 

 lutinboldtii group. The marginal blue band of the inferior wings is 

 much nearer the margin of the wing than in hitmbuhltii, and is more 

 inclined to gray in color. Under side of primary wing shows no red 

 whatever. The base is buff and covers the discal cell. Along the costa 

 a narrow blue band extends from the cell to the white diagonal spot, 

 which appears midway in the wing, and points to the angle. This white 

 spot terminates in a blue edging. Apex broadly yellow, with a few 

 isolated white marks on the edge. Balance of wing black. 



Secondary wings solidly buff. A black bar extends from the middle 

 of the anterior margin almost to the angle. Another black liar passes 

 from the anterior surface, parallel with the external margin, to the
