NOTES ON BUTTEKFLIES FROM BOLIVIA, WITH DESCEIPTIONS OF 

 TWO NEW SPECIES. 



BY AV. C. HEAVITSOJf, F.L.S. 



I received, some time since, -wliat lie calls a small collection (800 

 butterflies) from Mr. Buckley, from Bolivia, and as I do not intend 

 to describe tbc new species (about 30) until tlie next arrival, with the 

 exception of those now sent, I propose to give a very short summary 

 of its contents. Amongst the new species is a Morplio of the Aiito- 

 viedon group, a new and large Pier is, several new Itliomice and Ery- 

 cinidce ; and, amongst those previously known, and quite as interesting 

 to myself, he sends Muiyho Ijjhiclus of Felder, which he was compelled 

 to shoot from the high trees ; a fine series, and in great perfection, of 

 the hitherto rare Junonia jucunda,t\iG very beautiful Aijatuy^a Lavinia, 

 and the remarkable Pandemos Areuta, figured in the " Genera." He 

 sends, too, an abundance of Morplio Aurora, and further examples of 

 Morplio Godarti, which were the pride of his former collection. 



PaPILIO XtNIAS, Sp. 11. 



Upper-side : male, dark brown. Anterior wing w'ith a large pale 

 green bifid square spot on the middle of the inner margin. Posterior 

 wing dentate, with a short linear tail in continuation of the third 

 median nervure : three (sometimes one or two only) oval carmine spots 

 between the inner margin and the third median nervure: a sub-marginal 

 series of four narrow lunular green spots. 



Under-side : as aboA^c, except that there is a carmine spot at the 

 base of the anterior wing, and three similar spots at the base of the 

 posterior wing, and that there are five carmine spots on the posterior 

 wing, and nearer the outer margin. Exp., Si^o inch. 



Near to Euryhon and Xeniades ; nearest probably to Harmodius. 



Prepona Xenagokas, sp. n. 



Upper-side : male, dark brown. Both wings crossed at the middle 

 by a broad purple band, and by a sub-marginal scries of orange spots, 

 two of which, on the posterior wing, are in the form of black ocelli 

 bordered with orange, and placed near the apex and anal angle. 



Under-side : rufous-brown. Both wings crossed before the middle 

 by two bands of silvery-white bordered with black. Anterior wing 

 crossed beyond the middle by a zig-zag black band. Posterior wing 

 with the two ocelli of the u[)pcr-sid(', but of a brilliant blue with white 

 pupil, and iris half-orange, half-white: the space between them and 

 the band irrorated with white. Exp., 3 m, inch. 



Upper-side of JDeiphile, under-side (with very little difference) 

 of Gnorima.
