apical part of the fore-wing has a short greeuish -white belt which 

 touches the costa, and beyond this a small white spot : the outer border 

 of the hind-wing is moderately narrow, and has, running through its 

 middle part, a paler streak. Beneath : the costal part of the fore-wing 

 has two parallel red streaks, joined at the end of the cell by an oblique 

 transverse red streak ; another curved streak of the same hue crosses 

 the wing beyond the sub-apical pale fascia ; the dusky outer margin is 

 ashy, with a central brown line. The hind-wing, beneath, has a short 

 red streak at the base, and a lunulated streak of the same colour towards 

 the outer border, edged narrowly on the inner side with black, and on 

 the outer with bluish-grey luHules and a narrow dusky line ; between 

 the latter and the margin the wing is whitish, with a fine sub-marginal 

 and marginal brown line. 



Gruatemala ; also found in Mexico.

^ 5 . Expans. 2" 5'". Resembles in shape, and in the colours 

 and pattern of the underside, S. Serpa (Boisduval, Spec. Gen. Lep. 

 pi. 8, f. 4). Above : the pattern is also very similar to that of 

 S. Serpa, but the central pale belt is of a greeuish- white hue instead 

 of pure white, and the sub-apical orange spot is crossed only by three 

 nervures ; the pale belt is also a little broader, but ends, on the fore- 

 wing, like that of S. Serpa, at the third branch of the median nervure. 

 Tlio broad brown outer borders are traversed on the fore-wing by two, 

 and on the hind- wing by three, blackish stripes. Beneath: the 

 pattern is almost identical with that of S. Serpa, and the characteristic 

 markings of the cell and the spaces on both sides of the base of the 

 first median branch, are also the same : the central pale belt, however, 

 differs in being greenish-white, and the rufous belts of the hind-wing 

 are darker in colour, the outer one also being much nearer the outer 

 border. 



Gruatemala ; also on the Upper and Lower Amazons.

(J. Expans. 2" 5'". Also very similar to H. Serpa (Boisd.), 

 but the hind-wing is less produced at the anal angle, and the central 

 belt, although the same in colour, shows no tendency to become 

 macular on the fore- wing, as in H. Serpa ; its inner edge also ap- 

 proaches much nearer the median nervure of the same wing. The 

 snb-apical orange spot is crossed by four nervures. Beneath ; the 

 pattern and colours are very similar to those of H. Serpa ; the charac- 

 teristic markings of the fore-wing cell and basal spaces of median
