middle of the inuer margiu, and is joined to tlie base of the wing by a broad 

 longitudinal band and to the costa, oue-fonrth from the apex, by a cone-shaped short 

 band. In D. domingonis there is no marginal or submarginal border, and the 

 transverse band does not start from the apex but oue-fourth nearer the base, 

 and extends from tlie costa to the inner margin, fully one-third nearer the outer 

 margin than IK linnei. thus cutting oflF the apical third of the wings into a wide 

 brown border, which is marked with two large and irregular silver grey i)atches. 



Hindwinqs yellowish green at the base in D. domingonis and lack the two 

 black bands which are present in D. linnei. Outer half of the hindwings in the new 

 species greyish brown with a very large pink patch at the anal angle, and a sijuare 

 black blotch behind it, which is smaller than in D. linnei. A narrow black line 

 extends entirely across the wings from the anal angle. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen similar to D. linnei, but the white and i)ale grey 

 marks are much wider and more distinct. 



Underside in D. linnei dull broisnj ; in D. domingonis liriglit pinlc.

EDCHLORON. 



E. lacordairei (Boisd.) must sink as a synonym as it is indistinguishable 

 from E. megaera (Linn.). 



DARAPSA. 



D. davidi (Oberthlir) is not a Darapsa ar all. but lielougs to the genus 

 Pterogon. 



Dai'apsa schausi sp. nov. 



Nearest to /.'. suana (Druce). 



Forewings ground colour, instead of grey as in B. smna, is greyish brown. 

 The olive patch at the base of the forewings in I), suana (Druce) is entirely 

 wanting in this species, and the two transverse bars in front of it are scarcely 

 indicated in U. schausi (Rothsch.). The broad olive green band which in 1). suana 

 (Druce) crosses the wings, transversely, outside the cell, is replaced in JJ. schausi 

 Rothsch. by three transverse rows of blackish brown, half-moon shaped spots. 



Hindwings, in the new species, black, with an olivaceous bufl' murk extending 

 from the anal angle across the disc of the wings. 



Head and thorax dark olive bordered with white, and variegated rufous 

 orange hairs. 



Abdomen paler olive, fading off gradually into olive brown. 



Underside: wings and body pale orange, densely freckled with grey. 



Expanse, 3-5 inches = 89-25 millim. 



Hab. Rio Janeiro (Petropolis). 

 • Note. — I have received Darapsa (C'hoerocampa) tyndarus (Boisd.) IVom Aroa, 

 Venezuela, in considerable numbers, and have seen three specimens from Trinidad, 

 and several from Uosta Rica, while the typo is described as from Brazil.
