anal dentations of the hind-wing are more strongly pronounced, the 

 one at the end of the first median branch forming a rather large lobe. 

 Above : brown, as in A. Philoetetes, fore-wing with a sub-apical palish 

 streak and two white spots ; hind-wing darker brown, the hind part of 

 its disk having an irregular white spot destitute of ocelli. Beneath : 

 paler brown, darkest in the middle of the wings ; both wings are crossed 

 by a broadish sub-marginal white streak, which is dilated near the anal 

 angle of the hind-wing, enclosing in its dilated part a large round 

 blackish spot. Near the base the hind-wing has a transverse curved 

 blackish line, and on the inner side of it two black spots ; the cell of 

 the fore- wing is crossed by two dark brown lines.

74. — HETiERA MACLEANNAKIA. 



S. Expans. 3" 2'". ?. 3" 5'". Allied to JEfe^^m PJem; hind- 

 wing produced and angular near the middle of its outer border. Wings 

 transparent ; fore-wing costal and outer margins dusky, hind-wiug des- 

 titute of the yellowish cloud existing in H. Fiera, outer border with 

 two large ocelli and a more or less broken brown line ; the middle of 

 the border in the male has a small reddish spot, in the female the whole 

 anal portion, or one-third the surface of the wing, is of a rich rosy-red 

 hue. 



Isthmus of Panama. Named after its captor, Mr. Macleannan. 

 This gentleman has also sent home a species of Hetcera which, although 

 known, is perhaps of more interest than a new one would be, as it 

 enables us to rectify an error into which entomologists have fallen with 

 regard to some of these transparent winged species. It is, without 

 doubt, the true Andromeda of Fabricius (Menander, Drury ; Piretus, 

 Cramer), and entirely distinct from the species so abundant in the in- 

 terior of South America, which has gone hitherto under the name of 

 Andromeda. This latter must now take the name of H. Aurora, given 

 it by Dr. Felder (Wein. Ent. Monats., 1862, p. 175. The true Andro- 

 meda turns out to be a smaller insect, not larger than H. Esmeralda ; 

 above, it principally differs from Aurora in the feeble intensity of the 

 rosy hue of the hind- wings, a-t^ll their dark outer border with absence 

 of brown sub-marginal line. Beneath, H. Andromeda may be always 

 distinguished by a red tinge at the base, and on the basal part of the 

 costa of the hind-wing. I have since seen several examples of the true 

 Andromeda, in a collection from New Granada.
