three lines of dusky streaks ; the black markings of the base of the 

 wing are similar in form to those of A. ferentina, but they are much 

 more slender. The hind-wing above is wholly free from paler patches ; 

 the black markings are similar in form and position to those of A. 

 ferentina, and the row of ocelli does not difter in number or colours 

 from this species ; the ocelli, however, have the various concentric rings 

 much less clearly defined. Beneath : the same as in A. ferentina.

49. — AGEEONIA GTTATEMALEKA. 



(^ . Expans. 3". Allied to A. Feronia, but differing from this and 

 the allied species in the apex of the fore-vdng being rather broadly 

 rounded, and the outer margin not at all curved inwards : the costa of 

 the same wing ( (J ) is scarcely indented in the middle. Colours the 

 same as in A. Feronia, but the darker spots and streaks nearly the same 

 in number, shape, and position : the differences are chiefly in the belt of 

 dingy -white spots of fore-wing, which consists of much more elongate 

 spots, giving a different aspect to the insect. The sub-marginal ocelli 

 are very different from those of A. Feronia. In the fore-wing they 

 have much larger round pupils (of a dingy -gray instead of white colour) 

 and narrower black irides : in the hind- wing they have also large, sub- 

 oval, dingy pupils, encircled by three concentric rings, two narrow and 

 grey, the third (intermediate) broad and black. Beneath : almost the 

 only difference from A. Feronia is the pale saffron-ochreous hue of the 

 hind-wing. 



Gruatemala, central valleys. 



50. — AGERONIA ATLANTIS. 



? . Expans. 3" 2'". Not closely allied to any other described species 

 of this genus. Costa of fore-wing very slightly arched ( ? ), apex 

 obtuse, outer margin markedly incurved in the middle. All the usual 

 black and dusky waved streaks and marks are of nearly a uniform 

 dusky tint, and broader than in any of the allied species, having dark 

 grey spots and marks of diminished size, and in the hind-wing isolated 

 from each other, and mostly in the form of distinct spots. Cell of 

 fore- wing free from pale spot or rufous streak ; a small white spot lies 

 on the costa, a little beyond the cell ; and there is a broad, short, sub- 

 apical belt also white. The ocelli of the fore-wing are all indistinct, 

 except the one between the upper and lower radials, which is deep 

 black, with a small blue pupil. The ocelli of the hind-wing are very 

 large, circular, and distinct, the five middle ones having large dusky-
