Head, thorax, and ubdomeu green varied with darker greeu ; tufts of meta- 

 thorax and dorsum reddish grey. 



Expanse of wings : 44 — 48 mm. 



2 c?c? from Cushi, Huanuco, Peru, 1900 m. (Hoffmanns). 



Related to /. chryses Druce, but much handsomer. 



254. Ischnopteris stenoptila spec, nov, 



Forewing : very narrow and elongate, three times as long as broad, lilac-grey, 

 the basal, apical, and anal areas ochreons darkened by olive-brown striations ; basal 

 area especially thickly dark speckled, edged by a blackish outwardly crenulate 

 line from one-fifth of costa oblique to one-third of inner margin, above which 

 it forms a dark point; outer line fine; blackish, from middle of costa, oblique 

 outwards to vein 4 at three-fourths from base, then lunulate-dentate inwards to 

 middle of inner margin, but interrupted betweeu 4 and 2 by the lilac-grey ground, 

 which runs out between those veins to outer margin ; at costa and inner margin 

 this line is followed by cloudings of olive-brown striae, continued diffusely to outer 

 margin ; no distinct submarginal line, but a black oblique streak from below apex 

 to vein 0; a dark olive-brown spot on costa before middle and a blotch in middle 

 of submedian interval indicate the median shade/; veins generally dotted with 

 dark olive-brow.il ; dark marginal spots between veins; fringe concolorons. 



Hindwing : deep orange, with a large irregular black blotch at anal angle 

 ending squarely towards apex at vein 4 ; a slight dark mark on costa before 

 apex and small cell-spot; fringe orange. 



Underside of both wings orange ; the hindwing marked as above, the forewing 

 with a larger blotch from anal angle not reaching costa but preceded beyond cell 

 by a short black streak, and with the black blotch in the submedian interval ; 

 costa and apex of forewing pinkish fawn-colour with dark striae. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen , like wings; legs fawn-colour, the tarsi mottled 

 with black. 



Expanse of wings : 52 mm. 



1 ? from Onaca, Santa Marta, June — August (Eugelke). 



The outer margin of forewing is deeply crenulate, and the antennae are quite 

 three-fourths as long as the wing. The long narrow wings will distinguish the 

 species. 



255. Ischnopteris versipennis spec. nov. 



Forewing: almost precisely the same as in /. projectata Warr. ; the basal 

 patch, central fascia, and marginal third all dull reddish fuscous ; the bands on 

 each side of fascia, and the submargiual line, especially at its extremities, green ; 

 the outer edge of fascia forming the same outward projection below median vein. 



Hindwing ; like that of /. chryses Druce, black with a broad bright yellow 

 apex. 



Underside of both wings like that of chryses. 



Head and thorax mixed blackish and dark green ; abdomen dark cinereous, 

 with the dorsal crests well marked ; abdonieu below dull ochreons ; pectus greenish 

 ochreons ; legs mottled black aud ochreons. 



Expanse of wings : 52 mm.
