NEW SPECIES OF BUTTERFLIES FROM GUATEMALA AND PANAMA. 
BY H. W. BATES, F.Z.S. 
(SUPPLEMENT.) 
According to tlie promise made in the first volume of this Magazine, 
p. 205, I now proceed to describe a further series of species of butterflies 
from Guatemala and Panama, received from the collectors of Messrs. 
Salvin and Godman. These descriptions, as well as those already given, 
it is scarcely necessary to remark, are merely preliminary ; it being the 
intention of Mr. Salvin to publish a more complete faunistic work on 
the Diurnal Lepidoptera of the countries he explored, wherein will be 
figured a large number of the new species. 
Some of the species now described are from Costa Eica and Veragua. 
84. — Hesperocharis crocea. 
Exp. 2" 4.'" Light yellow, deepening in tint towards the apex of 
the fore-wing ; outer half of the hind-wing clear safiron-yellow. l^ore- 
wing triangular, apex pointed, outer border a little incurved : hind-wing 
elongated at the anal angle, outer border a little incurved near the anal 
angle, then rounded outwards. Wings, beneath, deeper yellow than 
above, apical part of the fore-wing and the whole of the hind-wing 
safiron-yellow ; destitute of the dusky lines which distinguish other 
species of the genus ; sides of prothorax and breast reddish-saffi-on, a 
small spot at the root of the hind-wing sub-costal nervure bright red. 
This species exhibits the short clavate antennae and peculiar neuration 
of the genus Hesperocharis, notwithstanding the absence of the charac- 
teristic dusky lines beneath. 
From Costa Rica, Central America. 
85. — Hesperocharis costaricensis. 
Exp. 2" 1."' White, tinged with greenish-yellow above towards 
the fore-wing apex, where the nervures are dusky olivaceous ; beneath, 
pale buff", except the basal three-fourths of the fore-wing, which are 
white. Fore- wing triangular, pointed, outer border distinctly incurved ; 
hind-wing produced, and obtusely pointed at the anal angle, outer 
border regularly and slightly rounded. Under-side of hind-wing with 
the nervures, a zig-zag line near to the outer border, and an oblique 
streak extending from the base to the origin of the third median 
branch, faintly dusky. The costa of the hind-wing strongly dilated at 
the base. 
Inhabits Costa Rica.
