( 8''' ) 



marginal line Bne, deep red, without, white dashes at the vein-ends ; fringe 

 bone-colonr. 



Hindicing : with apical blotch elongated, formed of four contignons blotches 

 ilecreasing in size to vein 4, each concisely edged by a red Innule ; anal blotch 

 small, subqnadrate, red-edged ; a white cell-spot at upper end of discocel hilar. 



Underside pale green, with the blotches showing through. 



Face brown-red in upper half, pale below ; verte.x pinkish white ; thorax and 

 patagia green ; abdomen lione-coloured, the dorsum reddish, with metallic red 

 crests. 



E.xpanse of wings : 3U mm. 



1 S from Sapucay, Paraguay, November 1903 (Foster). 



Resembles R. delacruzi Dogn. ; distinguished by its larger size, pale green 

 colour, and concisely edged blotches, and especially by the absence of white dashes 

 along the margin at the end of the veins. 



47. Racheplopha microspila spec. nov. 



Identical with E. Jlackincta Warr., except in one particular : in that species 

 the hindwing possesses a large, ronghly diamond-shaped, brown-black blotch, 

 reaching from costa before apex to vein 4 ; in microspila this blotch is round and 

 sitnate between veins 4 and 7 ; the yellow edging of the brown blotches is also 

 much less conspicuous. 



Expanse of wings : 31 mm. 



1 (? from La Union, R. Haacamayo, Carabaya, Peru, 2000 ft., December 1904, 

 wet season (Ockenden). 



The two examjdes of flavicinctu that I have seen, the type from Venezuela 

 and another from Ecuador, are both ¥ ¥ ; and it is therefore possible that the 

 difference mentioned, though unusnal, is merely sexual. 



48. Racheolopha trilunaria Guen. ab. obsolescens nov. 



Differs from the type in having the pale marginal blotches of the wings 

 much reduced in size, that between veins .'J and of forewings usually partially 

 or quite obsolete, that at anal angle of hindwing always small and insignificant ; 

 on the other hand, in a few instances the small dark crescent at apex of hindwing 

 is prolonged to vein 4. In one of three other ¥ ¥ from the same locality, which 

 from the size of the blotches are referable to the type-form, a similar extension 

 of the apical mark of hindwing is visible. 



10 (j c?, ¥ ¥ from Fonte Boa, Upper Amazons, May— August 1906 (Klages), 

 along with 3 ¥ ¥ of the type-form, as mentioned above. 



40. Racheospila fontalis spec. nov. 



Foreir!n(j : deep green ; costal edge finely white ; the two lines finely white, 

 lui.rked chiefly by white dots on the veins and folds ; the first before one-third, 

 slightly obliqne outwards ; the second at two-thirds, incnrved below middle, and 

 ap])roximating to inner line on inner margin; a small dark cell-spot; fringe 

 silvery white, chequered with bright i)iuk beyond veins ; the marginal line finely 

 red, interru{)ted at the vein-ends by small white dots. 



Hind uing : similar, the inner line scarcely marked. 



Underside pale greenish, the lines showing through.
