NfeW BUTTERFLIES OF THE FAMILY NYMPHALIDiE. 163 



very similar to P. cluvia, but is more than twice its size and has 

 much broader wings. An allied form seems to be P. selene, 

 Eob., figured by Seitz, but this is a much redder species, with 

 less black on the primaries. 



^Phyciodes notus, sp. nov. 



Male. — Wings shaped as in P. morena, Eob. Upper side of both 

 wings dark brown. Fore wings with two very small, yellow, post- 

 discal spots, one near the apex, the other below the lower radial. 

 Hind wings with three fine, yellowish lines, the median one indistinct, 

 the discal one nearly straight, the submarginal one strongly waved. 



Underside : Fore wings with the basal half yellow-brown, discal 

 area black, apex and outer margin paler yellow-brown ; a transverse 

 spot outlined in dark brown at the end of the cell, and in the black 

 discal area two transverse yellow-brown spots, one, which is bifid, in 

 the median interspaces, the other subcostal and trifid ; a very fine, 

 waved, tawny submarginal line. Hind wings light yellow-brown 

 crossed by three fine transverse tawny lines, the first near the base, 

 the second at the middle, the third submarginal, and surmounted by 

 some indistinct pale lunules ; a discal series of five black dots. 

 Expanse, 1'35 in. 



Habitat. — Pozzuzo, Peru. One c? • 



A very dark species, allied to P. morena, Eob., from Cuzco, 

 and P. gaiijoni, Dognin, from Ecuador, but differs from both in 

 the fore wings above having two small yellow post-discal spots 

 and no submarginal line. As compared with a series of P. 

 gaiijoni, which it most resembles, the under side is of a deeper 

 yellowish colour, with much more black in the disc of fore wings, 

 and the hind wings are much more clearly and simply marked, 

 with smaller black discal dots and no darkening of the outer 

 margin. 



Chlosyne hyperia var. irrubescens, subsp. nov. 



Male and female. — Similar to C. hyperia var. marianna, Eob., 

 but the hind wings above with a large round spot of deep mahogany- 

 red in the middle of the wing. 



Habitat. — Cuautla, S. Mexico (June and July). Sis ^ (^ , 

 one ? . 



This form seems to indicate an approach towards C.janais, 

 Drury, but the spot on the hind wings is much smaller and 

 much deeper red ; its occurrence is interesting, because 

 C. hyperia and C. janais are not connected by intergrades 

 like the very similar C. adelina and C. lacinia, but exist as 

 perfectly distinct and independent species. C. adelina, Stgr., 

 and C. misera, Feld., which are referred to by Eober in Seitz 

 to C. hyperia are both forms of C. lacinia. The account of 

 Chlosyne in Seitz's work is full of errors, and the whole genus 

 will need revision.
