and anal segments, and dorsal metallic blue points on remainder ; 

 ventral surface white. Fore wing with large quadrate hyaline patch 

 in end of cell ; two hyaline patches between veins 3 and 5 ; cilia and 

 margin at apex white ; below with basal part of cell and submedian 

 interspace brilliant metallic blue. Hind wing with narrow elongated 

 hyaline patch in cell, a large patch below, and another narrow one on 

 inner margin ; a wedge-shaped patch at base of vein 2 ; below with 

 hyaline markings bordered with brilliant metallic blue, widely on 

 costa, and at tornus. 



Hab. Ecuador, Banos. 



This species is very distinct from any other in the genus, 

 owing to the beautiful metallic blue markings of the under side. 



Neacerea suffusa, sp. no v. 

 cf . Dark brown ; back of head with paired crimson spots ; patches 

 on coxae crimson ; abdomen with series of subdorsal metallic blue- 

 green patches. Fore wing with small quadrate hyaline patch toward 

 end of cell, a wedge-shaped patch below cell, a patch between veins 2 

 and 3, and two patches between veins 5 and 7 just beyond cell ; 

 between veins 2 and 5 are three elongated semihyaline patches. 

 Hind wing hyaline, with veins and margins black, the black expand- 

 ing widely at apical area and just before tornus. 



Hab. Demerara. 



Allied to N. dizona, Druce, but may be distinguished by the 

 crimson patches on coxae, subdorsal metallic blue-green patches, 

 and dark brown ventral surface. 



Eucereon ruficollis, sp. nov. 

 $ . Head and thorax greyish, marked with fuscous ; back of head 

 with two orange patches ; neck crimson ; tegulae with fuscous spots, 

 and patagia edged with fuscous ; fore coxae pink ; abdomen crimson, 

 with lateral series of black spots, and extremity black ; ventral surface 

 dull orange -yellow ; anal tuft greyish yellow. Fore wing grey ; a 

 curved series of four fuscous spots near base ; just beyond this a series 

 of five spots, and again beyond this a series of four spots ; in this latter 

 series the upper spot, which is in the cell, is nearer the base than the 

 other three which run obliquely from near base of vein 2 to inner 

 margin ; an irregular wide fuscous band crossing wing, the inner edge 

 of this band being within cell ; beyond this and not far from apex a 

 rather wide macular band extending from costa to vein 5, and two 

 spots below it between veins 3 and 5 ; a marginal series of six spots ; 

 cilia spotted with fuscous. Hind wing semihyaline strongly suffused 

 with fuscous, especially at apex. 



Hab. Venezuela. 



Near to E. baliam, Hamps., but may be distinguished by 

 crimson neck, and ventral orange surface of abdomen. 



Eucereon inconspicuum, sp. nov. 

 S . Head and thorax greyish ; neck and coxae orange-yellow ; 

 tegulae fuscous ; abdomen orange, with last two segments and ventral
