orange-hrown colour, nioro or loss sufl'used witli Ijlack ; one variety is so distinct that it 

 merits a distiiu'tivo name, as follows: — 



Var. Jl. P,fr<h>rt,ni.s. 



6. Similar in size and slmpe to //. Xniiinlii and Ehcohki. Fore icinf/ : a /jo re, rich 

 oran^v-browu ; the basal half of the costal margin, a broad stripe on the hind margin, 

 broadest in the middle, :in(l an irregidar border along the outer margin black ; an 

 elongate spot within the cell touchini;' the l)ase, a quadrate spot at the <'nd of the rcll. 

 and two rounded spots, one between the 1st and 2nd, the other between the 2nd mihI ord 

 median branches, also black; beyond the cell is an oldicjue bright-yellow bell, ednsisiinu 

 of live clonu-ate spots, and betwi'en it and the apex is a second yellow licit of four smaller 

 spots: the outer edge of the first l)elt, the ner\ ures beyond it, and an irregular spot 

 around its extremity are l)laek. Jiciicn///, the same. 



III?//} iri//;f : ofjorc, rich oranu'c-brown ; a stripe along the costa. a broad central one, and 

 a marginal series of very lari;'(> connected an^'ular spots l)lack. Bcucdlli, the same, 

 cxcejjt that there is on the hind margin, towards the anal angle, a series of ten short 

 yellowish-white lines. 



Body and antenna' as in //. Xi'iikiIh. 



The rich orange-brown colour of the a])ical part of the wing, divided into spots by the 

 dark lines whicdi accom|)any the nervur(>s, ^ives a distinct ai)pearanee to this form, which, 

 however, in all essential ]ioints is very (dosely allied to //. Enrnui'i . it is found in 

 company with //. Ennyiwi at St. I'aulo. It vciy nuudi I'escmblcs Miliiuea Purdtill-s of 

 the same neighbourhood.

2. Size and shape of //. X/'n/r'/d. Fare iriiirj: I'ljoiw, clear tawny oran-v ; the basal 

 half of the costa, a broad stripe on the hiiul marnin. toucbini;' theedL^c, but not reacdiiim' 

 the hind ani;h>, an elont^atc spot at the base of tht> cell, a stripe across the end of the 

 cell, from the costa to the outer margin, consisting of two elongate si)ots which meet 

 at th<' hind am^le of the cell, and the iipical fourth of the wing l)lack : in the middle ol 

 the l)lack ajiical portion is an elongate yellow spot, crossed by four m-rvun-s. Uci/cc/lt, 

 the same; margin spotless. 



Jlli/d wiufj: r'/Oo/v, (dear tawny orange; a subcostal stripe, bent l)cfore the apex towards 

 the u])p(>r radial, and a very large rounded spot occui)ying more than the anal half of 

 tlie wing, black. F>iiH'<iUi, the same; margin spotless. 



Body and antenna' precisely the .same as in II. Ximuilo and the allied siu-cies ami 

 varieties. 



This apparently di.stinct species occurred at St. Paulo; it has a striking resemblance 

 to Mcliiucd Lucifer of the same locality. It agrees in all essential points with 11. Xiuiinle, 

 and is most likely a modilication of that species; but the intermediate connecting forms 

 are wantini::.
