GENUS PAPIIIA. Fahr. 

 Paphia Bertha, n. sp). 



Form of P. Panariste. Upperside anterior wing dark 

 brown, witli a few reddish scales along the inner margin, 

 and a white spot at the apex ; a row of five pear shaped 

 cream coloured spots crossing the wing near the outer mar- 

 gin, the one nearest the anal angle the largest, the fourth 

 small. Posterior wing dark brown, the abdominal half 

 reddish brown crossed beyond the middle by a wide cream 

 coloured band, dentated on its inner margin, commencing a 

 little below the apex and terminating at the anal angle, 

 the outer margin blackish brown, the fringe of l)oth wings 

 yellowisli white. The underside is the same as in P.

Hal). Columbia. Mus. Druce. 



A very beautiful species allied to P. Jansoni. 



It is just possible that the above is tlie female of 

 P. Panariste, but I do not think it at all probable, because 

 the sexes of the two species belonging to the grou]). 

 P. Electra and P. Jansoni are alike. 



SUB-FAMILY IV. LEMONIINiE. 



GENUS LYROPTERYX, Wcstio. 



Lyropteryx Cicadas, n. sp. 



Upperside male, blue black with the blue bands the 

 same as in L. Lyra, only not quite so wide, the posterior

 margin. Underside brownish black, anterior wing with 

 four l)right scarlet spots near the base, not glossed with 

 purple as in L. Lyra, the wing co veiled with white 

 radiating lines, taking the direction of the nervures, and 

 increasing in width as they reach the outer margin. Pos- 

 terior wing brownish black with nine irregularly sized 

 briglit scarlet spots not glossed with purple, the s])ots
