154 Mr. Butler's Dcscri]}tions of 



white spots, otherwise as above : expanse of wings, 2 

 inches, 8 lines. 



Bogota (Stevens). 



A local representative of H. Kcdcma. 



GENUS MECHANITIS. Fahriclus. 



8. Mcchanitis Fallax, n. sp. 



? . Primaries tawny, yellow and black ; similar to M. 

 Menojihiliis ? but with a more or less pronounced yellow 

 spot towards apex, and the oblique yellow band more 

 angulate ; secondaries with the sub-costal area and the 

 apical half of the outer margin broadly tawny ; costa silky 

 brown : body as in M. Polymnia : primaries below nearly 

 as above, the outer margin narrowly tawny to near apex ; 

 the yellow apical spot (where present) terminating at each 

 end in a tawny nebula ; seven marginal white points ; 

 secondaries tawny, crossed by three more or less macular 

 black bands, the spots of the third band distinctly separate, 

 large, suboval, placed on anal area and terminating on 

 outer margin in white points, the latter seven in number : 

 expanse of wings, 3 inches, 4 lines. 



Bogota (Stevens). B.M. 



Allied to 31. Ugacnsis and M. Menophilns, but nearer to 

 the latter : it parallels Mclincca Mneme of Linnajus. 



9. Mcchcmitis Dcceptus, n. sp. 



Only differs from M. Menopliilus in the tawny instead of 

 yellow band of primaries : it parallels 3Iclincca Mcihone, 

 Ccratinia scinifulva, ETesia ithomiola, &c. 



Cuenca (Fraser) \ Bolivia (Bridges) ; Eio Napo (Bates ?) 

 B.M. 



Tliis species being mistaken by Mr. Salvin for the M. 

 Mctlume of Hewitson, he has redescribed the Mclincca as 

 M. Cydippe ; but a careful comparison of Hewitson's 

 figure with the two species shews that the Mclina'a and 

 not the Meehanitis is the insect represented, the black 

 spots of primaries being considerably larger in the Mclino:a 

 than in the Meehanitis.
