distinguished by the two discoidal nervures of the fore-wing being 

 parallel (as in most genera), whilst the upper one is flexuous 'mBatesia. 

 Ageronia is distinguished from all genera by well-marked peculiarities 

 of neuration, especially the strongly inflected lower disco-cellular 

 nervule of the fore- wing.

? . Larger than the ,$ . Pore- wing less produced at the apex ; 

 hind-wing more broadly rounded at the anal angle. Colour and mark- 

 ings of the upper and under-surface the same as in the J" . 



Pemale specimens from the Amazons diifer from those received 

 from New Granada, in the apical portion of the anterior wing being 

 red ; the same part in New G-ranada specimens being black as in the ^ . 



The species is distinguished from all others by the clear pinkish- 

 vermillion colour of the under-surface of the hind-wings, which have 

 only a short black line along the lower disco-cellular nervule, and 

 sometimes a sub-marginal dusky line extending from the anal border. 

 Dr. Eelder remarks (/. <?.) that the specimen he received from the 

 Upper Erio Negro differed from Bogota examples in being larger, and 

 having the brassy-green belt of the hind-wings much narrower. All 

 the Amazons specimens belong to this same local form.

Differs from P. Prola in being much larger, with the fore-wing 

 more broadly rounded at the apex, and less incurved on the outer 

 margin. The hind- wing has a row of three black spots in the glossy 

 green belt. The under-side of the hind- wing is vermillion-red, clouded 

 with blackish towards the apex, and marked with black lines as in 

 P. Procilla (Hewits., Exot. Butt., f. 2). There is a row of ill-defined 

 dusky ocelli across the hind-wing beneath, with black pupils. The 

 tip of the fore-wing beneath is rich dark brown, and there are no red 

 spots within the cell.

 constant in the score or so of examples which I have examined.
