20 ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. 



Under side of fore wing dead dark brown. The gray dustings of upper sur- 

 face do not show. The series of interspacial dashes or dustings within the 

 hind margin are fairly prominent. The subcostal white dots are repeated. 

 The hind margin has a dark thread and the fringe shows light hairs in 

 interspaces. 



Under side of hind wing dead dark brown. The line of interspacial light 

 dashes of upper surface, running from upper angle downward, are repeated and 

 more clearly defined. 



This species is closely allied to N. tatius Edw., N.juvenalis Fabr., 

 and that group, and a detailed and identifiable description is almost 

 impossible. One specimen was found unnamed in the Godman col- 

 lection; also one specimen unnamed in the British Museum, taken in 

 Malto Grosso, Brazil. 



Taken in December, 1900.

 Habitat : Suapure, Venezuela. Expanse : 2.25 inches. 



Head above, black with blue dots encircling the eyes and three thread-like 

 lines of blue crossing from eye to eye ; below, white. Antennse black. Thorax 

 above, black with four bands of blue running parallel to one another from 

 shoulder to abdomen ; below, black with white bands. Abdomen above, nearly 

 white with a black band running down its centre from thorax to tip, circled with 

 black at base of each segment ; below, black with four white bands parallel to 

 one another running from thorax to tip. Upper joints of legs blue, lower joints 

 black. 



Upper side of fore wing black. Immediate basal area brilliant blue. Nerv- 

 ures and nervules black. Beyond this a broad black band heavily dashed with 

 blue in two lower interspaces. Running across the wing diagonally from costa 

 nearly to lower angle is a broad band of semitransparent white. Between this 

 and apex, well below the costa, is a similar white band covering two interspaces 

 only. In the apical area is a patch of similar size with a white dot on costa. 

 Well within the hind margin is a line of bluescalings running from rear apex to 

 lower angle. 



Upper side of hind wing black. From the base run three prominent blue 

 dashes, the lower one following close to inner margin and extending nearly to 

 anal angle, the next covering the discoidal space and a little beyond, the third
