beyond the middle to below the middle of the third median nervule, 

 elbowed at the end of the cell ; hind-margin reddish-ochreous, inter- 

 sected by a narrow sub-marginal brown line, and bounded inwardly by 

 a cloudy suffusion of violet scales ; a white sub-apical spot ; a large 

 ocellus below the end of the cell, and a small reddish spot pupillated 

 with brown just below it. 



Hind-wings. Outer margin as above ; ocelli placed as in Menelaus, 

 and bounded inwardly by bronzed lunulea ; a bronze spot within the 

 cell, and a second similar spot just above it. 



Habitat : South America (exact locality undecided) . 



This insect differs from M. Menelaus in having only one ocellus in 

 the fore-wings below, the outer margin more brightly coloured ; the 

 hind-wings more deeply sinuated, the ocelli larger, paler, and more 

 angular, and several of the bronze streaks wanting. 



MOEPHO VITEEA — M. ACHILL^NA, var. (??). 



^ . Upper-side. Variable metallic blue-green ; base, anterior 

 margin and interior margin of hind- wings brown ; outer margin broadly 

 brown ; fore-wings with a white spot on the anterior margin at the end 

 of the cell, bounded by the first sub-costal nervule ; a sub-marginal 

 row of six white spots along the outer margin. 



Under-side. The same as in M Achilles, except that the bands 

 are more greenish, and a little more interrupted. 



Habitat : Bolivia. 



Differs from M. Achillcena in having the brown border of the 

 upper-side only half the usual width, and the metallic^ colouring much 

 more greenish. On the under-side it much more closely resembles M. 

 Achilles than M. Achillana. 



MoEPHO C(ELESTis — M. Helenoe, var. 



J . Upper-side. Variable metallic blue-green ; fore-wings, a 

 quadrate white spot on the anterior margin at the end of the cell, and 

 a sub-marginal row of seven white spots along the outer margin ; an- 

 terior margin brown, hind-margin broadly brown, half as broadly as in 

 M. Helenor. 



Hind-wings Anterior and interior margins grey-brown ; outer 

 margin broadly brown as above ; two reddish lunules at the anal angles. 



Under-side. The same as in M. Helenor, except that the bands 

 and streaks are more greenish; and the hind marginal bands are nar- 

 rower ; in the specimen in the National Collection the sub-apical spot 

 on the left front wing is converted into a small ocellus.
