more slightly below ; a yellow spot above the base of the submedian nervure. 

 Posterior wings with the costal region brownish-grey, and a broad continuous 

 greenish-yellow stripe extending below it rather more than half the length of 

 the wing, with its outer edge sinuate. 



Underside chocolate-brown. Anterior wings with a red dash at the base 

 of the costa, the transverse band pale pink, and containing a black crescent 

 on the upper part of the discocellular nervules, median nervure edged above 

 only with an indistinct gi-eenish-yellow stripe; inner margin brownish-grey. 

 Posterior wings with a narrow yellow stripe at the base of the costa, the yellow 

 band paler than above, and a row of three red spots above it, between the forks 

 of the nervures.

III.— HELICONirS PHYLLIDIS. Fig. 4. 



Exp. nearly 3 inches. 



Uppekside brownish-blacky Anterior wings with a broad crimson band 

 curving beyond the cell (the upper angle of which it just invades) from below the 

 costa to the lowest median nervule. A slender greenish-yellow- line runs nearly 

 from the base above the median nervure to the base of the lowest median 

 nervule. above which it is nearly connected with the red band by a yellow 

 spot and a small red dash. Posterior vringfi brownish-grey along the costa, 

 and with a rather narrow greenish-yellow stripe below the grey band, broken 

 widely into spots. Near the middle of the inner margin is a short red line. 



Underside chocolate-brown. Anterior wings with the base of the costa red, 

 and the red band much narrower and paler, almost whitish, except at the edges, 

 and widely separated from the yellow line and spot ; inner margin brownish- 

 grey. Posterior wings with the base of the costa yellow, and the yellow stripe 

 composed of more numerous and continuous spots than above. Above the stripe 

 are five red spots (the two lowest contiguous) between the forks of the ner%-ures. 

 and below it is a row of five small red linear spots, the second of which is the 

 largest, and corresponds to the short red stripe above. 



Head and body spotted, and legs streaked with yellow.
