hind angle. An oblique black stripe traverses the middle of this orange- 

 tawny belt from the base of the eosta to near the middle of the wing. 

 Apical portion of the wing crossed by two yellow macular belts. Hind- 

 wing orange-tawny, with a discal and marginal stripe black. Beneath : 

 nearly the same as above, except that there is a sub-marginal row of 

 silvery-white spots. Thorax black, striped with yellow ; collar orange. 

 Antennae yellow, except at the base, where they are black. 

 Guatemala, interior. 



23. — TITHOEEA DTJENNA. 



? . Expans. 3" 10'". Deep brownish-black. Fore-wing with a 

 short basal longitudinal stripe reddish orange-tawny ; apical half of the 

 wing with twelve smallish and equal-sized pale yellow spots, placed 

 irregularly. Hind-wing reddish orange-tawny, costa and outer border 

 to the anal angle, and a short discal stripe from the apex towards the 

 abdominal edge, deep brownish black. Beneath : the same, but paler ; 

 the wings having a sub-marginal row of white spots. The sinuses of 

 the wings are edged with white. Abdomen dark orange-tawny. Thorax 

 brown ; tippets each with a round yellow spot ; collar red. Antennse 

 black. 



This fine species was found only on the elevated table land of 

 Guatemala, near Duenas. 



24. — HELICONIUS JUCUNDTJS. 



Same size and shape as H. Eiicoma (Hiibn. Zutr. 577) and its 

 relatives ; colours the same as H. Ismenius (Latr. in Humboldt's Zool. 

 pi. 41, f. 5, 6). Outer margin of hind- wing slightly festooned as in 

 most examples of H. Eucoma. Fore-wing black, basal third (excluding 

 costa) orange-tawny ; the apical portion is crossed by four white macular 

 belts, the third and fourth near together and rather distant from the 

 apex ; this distinguishes the species at once from A. Ismenius, in which 

 the fourth macular belt is distant from the third, and close to the apical 

 margin of the wing. Hind-wing orange-tawny, a discal stripe (varying 

 in length in diiferent examples,) and the outer border black ; the costa 

 also has two black stripes, and the apex has a white spot. Beneath : the 

 same, except that the hind-wing has a marginal row of elongated white 

 spots. Body and antennse same as in H. Micoma. 



Panama, many examples. One specimen in Mr. Salvin's collection 

 wants the third white macular belt of fore-wing, and approximates JS. 

 Ismenius.
