4. Anaea miranda sp. nov. 



i. Wings shaped as in the c? of yl. «/</v'ofo Bates (Biol. Centr. Amer., RhojK 

 t. 37. f. 1. 2). Outer margin of forewing posteriorly convex ; inner margin straight. 

 Hindwing with a short tooth. 



Upperside : forewing black, with a greenish gloss towards base. A broad 

 oblique orange band just beyond apex of cell from costal margin to snbmedian fold, 

 4J mm. wide anteriorly, 12 mm. betweeu veins 2 and 3 : its outer edge convex, 

 inner edge down to base of vein 3 slightly concave, then convex. 



Hindwing metallic black, greenish towards base ; a metallic turquoise-blue 

 patch extends from vein 5 towards anal angle, its outer edge convex, inner edge 

 sinuate between veins 4 and 5 and obliquely running towards anal angle beyond 

 vein 2, the portion of patch beyond this vein being triangular; the patch is 4i mm. 

 wide in front, 7 mm. at vein 3 ; black marginal area outside the bine patch 4 mm. 

 wide at vein 4, 2 mm. at vein 2. 



Underside : forewing, outer two-thirds pale pinkish buff, shading into mummy- 

 brown towards outer margin, with some dark speckles and faint linear spots ; basal 

 third lilack, irrnrated with ])ale vinaceous chestnut and grey, creamy buff at inner 

 margin. 



Hindwing, Inisal three-fourths like base of forewing ; this dark area, the 

 outer edge of which is almost parallel to tlie outer margin of the wing, includes a 

 pale vinaceous chestnut band running in an even curve from abdominal margin, 

 where it is 4 mm. wide, across apex of cell to vein 6, becoming much narrower in 

 front, ttostal margin near base with a pale spot. Marginal area of wing, which is 

 of nearly even width, dark vinaceous buff, yellowish olive at the rather ill-defined 

 edge of the dark basal area. A dark spot covered with grey scales at the base of 

 the short tooth between veins 3 and 4. 



Expanse : forewing, length 32 mm., breadth 2(i mm.

The orange band of the forewing and the large blue patch of the hindwing are 

 characters by whieli tiiis conspicuous insect can readily be distingnislied from the 

 other species of Anaea.

c? ? . Both wings more yellow than in reitrhi. The basal patch is much larger 



than in any other form, and orange, not reddish orange ; it extends to the costal and 



inner margins, not being separated from them by a black border ; at the subcostal 



nervure and at the inner margin of the wing the patch measures 7 ram. in width ;
