Hab. Valley of the Eio Polochic {Hague). Mus. Salvin, 

 Godman & Drucc. 



A very distinct species, especially the female.

GENUS ANTEROS, mihn. 

 Anteros Micon, n. sp. 



Upperside dark brown, anterior wing with a small cen- 

 tral white spot, the fringe white. Posterior wing with the 

 costal margin the anal angle and the fringe yellow. 

 Underside, pale yellow with bright chesnut spots placed 

 very much as in A. Formosus, Cr., only much smaller and 

 brighter coloured, the metallic spots are also smaller, a sub- 

 marginal line of metallic dots to both wdngs. Exp. 1 inch. 



Hab. Calobre {Arce). Mus. Salvin Godman & Druce. 



A pretty little species allied to Formosus, Cr.

 be another Central Anieriean species of which we have not yet seen the 

 nuxle. I have s(!en a si)eciinen agreeing with mine from Chiriqui in Dr. 

 Staudingcr's collection,
