1. HespcYoclmris antipatcr. 



Upperside of both wings pure white ; posterior wings very 

 long. Underside of anterior wings white, with the base, 

 nervules and apex speckled with yellowish scales ; posterior 

 wings yellowish-white with the nervules dusky. Expanse 

 2f inch. 



Hab. Choctum, Vera Paz {Hague). Mus. Salvin and

This species is nearly allied to H. Leucania, Boisd., l)ut 

 differs from it in the greatly elongated hind wing, whiter 

 colour, and entire absence of marking on the underside.

 blue from the base along the costal margin to the apex 

 thence along the hind margin to tlie anal angle. Posterior

 mencing at tlie apex and extending nearly to the anal 

 angle. Underside of anterior wings brown, lighter at the base 

 and inner margin, apex grey, with two small black spots, 

 one pupilled with white. Posterior wings rich brown with 

 a submarginal band and two spots of dark brown near the 

 base, followed by two irregular transverse bands of ^the 

 same colour inclosing three black ocelli, irides yellow, pupils, 

 l)luish white ; the upper ocelhis, which is the largest, has 

 two pupils. Expanse 2\ inch.

On the upperside this species is unlike any other with
