extending from tlie inner margin to the middle of the cell, and the 
whole central area of tlie hi]ul-wiug clear orange-tawny : wings beneath 
yellowish-buff. 
Veragua. 
115. — Symmachia bubina. 
^ . Exp. 1" 2'". Bright orange, fore-wing with the apical half, a 
streak across the base and a spot within the cell, deep black ; the apical 
black portion with six ochreous-white streaks, viz., two transverse from 
costa to the median nervure, and four longitudinal, two near the apical 
margin, and the other two more inward and between the marginal ones ; 
hind-wing with a single black spot at the apex ; head, thorax, and base 
of abdomen above deep black ; collar and sides of the prothorax 
ochreous ; apical half of the abdomen orange. AVings, beneath, the 
same but paler, and costa of fore-wing black at the base ; face, palpi, 
and legs, pale ochreous. 
Panama. 
116. — Metapheles (n. g.) Dinoba. 
^. Exp. 1" 10'". Fore-wing triangular, costa nearly straight, 
outer margin bowed outwards; hind- wing sub-triangular, and angle 
slightly produced, pointed ; outer margin bowed outwards ; blue- 
black glossed with brilliant silky-blue; fore-wing with a large tri- 
angular basal spot and a sub-apical belt ; hind-wing with the whole 
central area transparent, veins bordered with blue-black ; antennae 
slender, black; body glossy -blue; abdomen beneath striped with 
orange. Wing-cells extremely short, fore-wing upper radial, and first 
branch of the sub-costal arising together at the end of the cell, middle 
and lower disco-cellulars of the same length : hind-wing tipper radial 
arising at a distance from the end of the cell. 
The new genus Meta])]ieles difters from Pheles in the short- 
ness of the wing-cells, length of the fore-wing middle disco-cellular, 
and position of the sub-costal branches, the second being emitted 
far beyond the end of the cell in the fore-wing. In the brevity 
of the cells the genus resembles Brachyglenis (Felder), but in this 
group the fore-wing upper radial arises after the end of the cell.
