This species, Avhich is found in North Brazil, is the largest 

 of the genus, expanding nearly two inches. The black trans- 

 verse band is broad, and continued, apart from the border, on 

 the hind-wings ; the broad red band on the latter is transverse, 

 not extending to the anal angle, and is more orange than usual; 

 and the inner tail is very short and slender. 



We have figured the following species : — 



ZEONIA CHORINEUS.

(1837). 

 This is one of the smaller species of Zeonia^ expanding only 

 an inch and a half. It agrees with Z. fauniis in the transverse 

 band, being continued on the hind-wings, but differs from it 

 by the very long and slender tail, and the much longer and 

 narrower hind-wings, with a very large red patch occupying the 

 whole of the inner marginal region within the tail. It inhabits 

 Surinam and the Amazon region. 



The next section includes the genera in which one branch 

 of the sub-costal nervure of the fore-wings is thrown off before 

 the end of the cell ; and this is again divided into two sub- 

 sections, in the first of which the middle disco-cellular nervure
