area below the discoidal s])ace and witliin tlie main band, is crossed by two broad 

 wbite l)ands. 



Tlie under side of hind wing is crossed at its centre by a jirominent silvery 

 white band running from centre of costa nearly to anal angle, forming an ex- 

 tension of the band on the forewing. This is the band which appears so indis- 

 tinctly on upper side within the three first bands there noted. Outside of this 

 band the ground color is blackish, crossed by three bands of white dusted with 

 tawny as they approach anal angle. The outer one of these is broad and distinct, 

 broken by the veins. Just within the margin is a thread of white, interspacial 

 and following the dentations of margin. Within the main silvery band and ex- 

 tending from costa to anal angle, is a broad black band dashed with tawny in its 

 centre at its np})er half. Within this is another silvery band with a black bor- 

 der. The very base or shoulder is tawny. The tawny spot at anal angle suf- 

 fuses in all directions, extending along lower median nervule to the base. 



Hab. — Colombia. 



One specimen of this has been found in the British Museum col- 

 lection without name. 



Adelplia lielepecki sp. nov. 



Expanse 1.80 inches.— Head, thorax and abdomen above, rich brown ; below, 

 tawny. Palpi above rich brown; below, grayish white. Legs above, tawny; 

 below, grayish white. 



General ground color of upper surface is rich brown. Ilind margins are .some- 

 what dentated and touched with a white thread in interspaces. 



From the centre of costa on forewing, perhaps nearer apex, extends a broad 

 tawny band running nearly to inner angle. This band is the prominent murk 

 of upper surface. The subcostal nervule as it crosses this band is distinctly 

 black, the other nervules and nervures scarcely showing. Opposite the inter- 

 space, at end of discoidal space, this tawny hand juts outwards towards hind 

 margin. The apical area is crossed by two lightish bands parallel to hind mar- 

 gin and very indistinct. Inside of the tawny band, the entire basal half of the 

 wing is dark rich brown, excepting four black lines which cross the discoidal 

 s)iace in pairs. The two outer lines are parallel to eachother. The inner line 

 of the next pair turns at its centre towards the base. 



The upper side of lower wing is of same ground color, marked by four wavy 

 lines or narrow bands of a lighter color which run aci'oss the outer half of the 

 wing following the contour of the hind margin. The inner two of these are 

 broader and less distinct than the outer two. The suffusion of these causes 

 the ground color between them to be broken into interspacial semi-circles, in 

 some specimens causing the ground color to become secondary to them. The 

 inner marginal si)ace is lighter than ground color. 



On under side of forewing the costa is dark tawny lialf way to ajiex. The 

 discoidal space has a ground color of dark tawny. At its base, extending upwards 

 from the wing joint, is a white dash surrounded by black and divided from the 

 ground color liy a semi-circular black line bulging outwards with a small white 

 dash within its upper and lower ends. Across the centre of discoidal space is a 

 prominent silver band edged with black. At the lower outer end of discoidal 

 si)ace is an irregular silvery spot. The tawny band across the wing is the same
