the cell on the fore wings, and some smaller spots nearer the tip ; 
and a submarginal row of white spots, gradually shading into red 
ones, on the hind wings. ‘These species are both abundant 
throughout tropical America; the others are more local and rarer. 
A. Fatima, from Central America, has a yellow band of moderate 
- width running from the middle of the costa of the fore wings to 
the middle of the hind wings, where it ceases suddenly, though it 
is followed by a detached yellow spot. Within it is a row of 
about four red spots on the hind wings, and there are some yellow 
spots towards the tip of the fore wings. A. Lytrea, from the 
West Indies, is brown, with an indented dull orange marginal line, 
and an eye with a black pupil in a dull orange ring at the anal 
angle of all the wings, above which is a white stripe, divided by 
the nervures, and broader on the hind wings than on the fore 
wings, running from the costa. 
The genus Hurytela is of moderate size, the species expanding 
less than two inches. The wings are rather broad, and the hind 
margin of the fore wings is generally more or less excavated 
below the tip; the hind wings are rounded and scalloped. The 
few species are either African or Malayan, and are generally dark- 
coloured. EH. Dryope has a broad submarginal orange band, 
running from the inner margin of the hind wings, towards the tip 
of the fore wings, before reaching which it narrows and disappears. 
E. Hiarbas has a similar but narrower white band, which is much 
farther from the hind margin, especially on the hind wings. 
Several other African species have a broad white band on the 
hind wings, and another, interrupted and broken into spots, on 
the fore wings, which gives them considerable resemblance to 
some species of Neptis, for which genus they might easily be 
mistaken. One of the Malayan species, H#. Castelnaui, is of a 
brilliant blue above. 
The genus Hrgolis is closely allied to this, and is nearly of the 
same size and shape, but the fore wings are broader and shorter. 
All the species have a conspicuous white spot on the costa near 
the tip, but sometimes only on the under side. The African 
E. Enotrea is brown, with many indistinct zigzag transverse 
lines, and with the whole centre of the hind wings and a great 
part of the fore wings beyond the cell crossed by a broad but very 
ill-defined bluish grey band. H. Ariadne, a common but very 
variable Kast Indian species, is dull tawny above, crossed by many
