Tachyphyle janeira, sp. nov. 



Palpi while. Head, thorax and abdomen green. Wings above green, a smoky 

 brown space occupying the base of both wings, except the costal margin of the pri. 

 maries; an outer wavy dark line, heaviest on the primaries and outwardly shaded 

 with luteous, crosses both wings, beyond which the nearly entire outer margin is black 

 except the apex of the primaries and the anal half of the outer margin on the second- 

 aries. A black discal point on each wing. Underneath nearly white, the outer mar- 

 gin of the primaries and the apex of the secondaries heavily shaded with black. A 

 round black spot near the base of the primaries and a transverse basal black mark on 

 the secondaries. Expanse, 31 mm. 



Habitat : Rio Janeiro. 

 Azelina paranaria, sp. nov. 



Antennae pectinated, outer margins angular. Wings above pale reddish gray 

 specked with black, the primaries with the space between the two lines reddish browny 

 especially along the outer line. A round black discal spot on each wing. On the 

 primaries the inner line extends from the costa, forming a deep curve close below the 

 discal spot, and then two other large curves towards the inner margin, but not so deep 

 as the first; the outer line wavy. Secondaries with only the outer line, which is 

 nearly straight and shaded with brownish near the inner margin. Some termina, 

 black points. Underneath the wings are greenish gray, with brown outer line finell 

 wavy on the primaries, dentate on the secondaries, a dark annular discal spot on each 

 wing. Expanse, 34 mm. 



Habitat : Castro, Parana. 

 Nearest Azelina lindigii Feld. 



Azelina jonesaria, sp. nov. 



Wings very slightly dentate. Antennae simple. Body and wings greyish 

 brown. The primaries having the inner line wavy and oblique from the costa to the 

 median at the origin of vein 2 ; the line recommences again at the median nearer 

 the base, and forms an angle at the submedian. This line is outwardly shaded with 

 very dark brown. The outer line is parallel with the outer margin, very slightly 

 wavy with a deep indentation on the submedian vein. This line is inwardly shaded 

 with rich brown, outwardly outlined finely with buff which is followed by a broad 

 grayish shade, beyond which the margin is buff with a subterminal brownish shade. 

 A terminal row of spots. The discal spot consisting of two small velvety brown 

 contiguous spots one above the other and sometimes forming a line. Secondaries 

 grayish brown. A submarginal buff Ime inwardly shaded with darker brown. Un- 

 derneath dark fawn color, irrorated with black scales. A black discal point on the 

 secondaries. An outer dentate whitish line. Expanse, 31 mm. 



The 5* difiers in having the medial costal space of the primaries more lifeht 

 reddish brown, and the general ground color of the wings more of a gray. The 

 terminal spots are yellow. Underneath the outer line is more angular and shaded 

 with dark brown. Expanse, 34 mm. 



Habitat : Castro, Parana.
