51. Rhodochlora brunneipalpis, ab. minor nov. and ab. rufaria nov. 



The type of R. hrunneijMlpis AVarr. was described from a ? from Rio 

 Demerara, British Guiana {Nor. Zool. i. p. 385), and I have only seen a single 

 specimen since that thoroughly agrees with it — a c^ in Mr. Schaus' collection 

 from S. Jean, Maroni River, French Guiana. All the Peruvian examples from 

 various localities agree in being smaller than the type in both sexes, and iu 

 the hindwing the yellowish basal area is in them followed by a curved band 

 of darker grey-green. Out of a series of 11 c?cj and 1 ? from La Union, 

 R. Hnacaraayo, C'arabaya, Peru, taken in November 1904, wet season, at 201 lO ft., 

 by the late G. Ockenden, the SS expand from 40 to 44 mm., and the ? 44 mm.; 

 and 2 tJcJfrom Oconeque vary to the same extent. These Peruvian specimens 

 may be distinguished as ab. minor. A single c? from La Union, for which I 

 propose the name ab. ?7//a7v'«, demands a more detailed description. To a certain 

 extent it resembles R. exqnisita Warr., but it is not marked so brightly red. 

 The outer line of forewing is redder and thicker than in the type, and is 

 followed by red spots between the veins, the lowest of which forms a red 

 blotch at anal angle. In the hindwing the grey-green curved band beyond the 

 yellow base is followed by a broad space of dull rufous, which extends to beyond 

 the postmedian line and leaves only a comparatively narrow marginal border of
