silky green, with a broad curved belt of six greenish-white spots, passing 

 otitside the cell and becoming gradually nari'ower from the costa to the 

 abdominal edge near the hind angle. Beneath : fore-wing blackish, 

 apical half paler, a distinct whitish streak crosses the lower discocellular 

 nervule, hind-wing reddish brown, a row of six narrow well-defined 

 red circumflexes close to outer margin, and a red spot near anal angle. 

 Abdomen yellowish-white. 



? . Expans. 4" 6'". Fore-wing above bronzed fuscous ; three pale 

 lunules as in ^, besides a long streak crossing lower discocellulars into 

 the cell ; sinuses as in ^ . Hind-wing above dark silky green ; the 

 macular belt differs from that of the (^ in being narrowest on the costa, 

 broader in the middle, and narrowing again towards anal angle ; there 

 is, besides, an indistinct sub-marginal row of narrow green circumflexes, 

 of a lighter hue than the ground colour of the wing. Beneath, same 

 as in the ^J . 



Central Valleys of Guatemala. Belongs to the JBelus group, and 

 seems most nearly allied to P. Laodamas (Felder) of New Granada. 

 I'he neatly-defined red circumflexes of under side of hind-wings, the 

 position and shape of white macular belt of the same wings, and discal 

 streak of fore-wings, amply distinguish it. 



3. — PAPTLlo KUMITOB, Cramer, Pap. exot. pi. 113, fig. b. (c?). 

 ? . Above: fore-wing dark bronzed fuscous, outer margin near 

 hind angle with three pale spots ; hind-wing dark silky green, outer 

 margin with a sub-marginal row of lighter green circumflexes, a pale 

 macular belt of six spots, commencing broadly on the costa, and ending 

 in a small speck between the first and second median branch nervules. 

 Beneath : fore-wing dvisky, apex paler, three pale spots near hind angle, 

 hind-wing reddish brown, a submarginal row of six quadrangular red 

 spots, followed by a row of smaller whitish spots, placed opposite the 

 intervals between the red spots. 



The under-surfaces of the wings of the male are similarly marked to 

 those of the female as above described. 



Central Valleys of Guatemala. As Mr. Salvin brought home both 

 sexes of the present species, as well as of P. Chrysodamas, I think there 

 can be no doubt of the justice of distinguishing them both from each 

 other, and from P. Laodamas, P. Belus, and allies.* 



* p. Belemus. 6. Expuns. 4" 6'". Costa of fore-wing scarcely arched, apex sub-acute, outer 

 margin not incurved. Above: fore-wings bronzed-fuscous spotless, outer marein without sinuses; 

 hind-wing silky green, a row of seven whitish spots crossing close behind the cell, the costal spot 

 elongated and clear in colour, the others small and sprinkled with greenish atoms, hind border dark 

 green, with a sub-marginal row of lighter green circumflexes, sinuses .very naiTowly edged with white. 

 Beneath: fore-wing spotless; hind-wing reddish brown, outer border blackish, and having a row of 

 seven rather large and broad serai-lunar red spots. 



Parii, Amazons.— Tliis species, which I was formerly disinclined to consider as distinct from P. Nu- 

 mitor, although difTuring from Cramer's figure, must now receive a new name, since the Guatemala 

 specimens agree with the figure and enable us to ascertain the marldngs of the underside not given 

 by Cramer.
