NEW BUTTERFLIES OF THE FAMILY NYMPHALID^. 173 



from the Bolivian form of C. maimmia, which also has a red 

 streak on the hind wings. 



Panacea lyrocilla var. mamorensis, subsp. nov. 



Male. — Upper side of a more bluish tint than in procilla ; the 

 black transverse line across the middle of fore wings thicker, and the 

 blue-green band beyond it broader and not interrupted by blackish 

 spots ; subapical spots whiter, but more broadly bordered with blue- 

 green ; on the hind wings the black median line is thicker, the discal 

 ocelli are largely or (in the type) completely obsolete, and the black 

 submarginal line is more than twice as broad as in procilla. 



Underside : Fore wings as in procilla, except that the white sub- 

 apical band is broader. Hind wings of a much deeper purplish- 

 brown tint, with black lines as in procilla, but the discal ocelli 

 extremely small. 



Habitat. — Upper Rio, Madeira. One S collected by Dr. 

 Moffatt ; two co-types in the collection of C. J. Grist, Esq. 



This local race almost seems to represent a transition 

 between P. jyrocilla, Hew., and P. divalis, Bates, the upper side 

 much resembling that of the latter. The nearest ally of 

 P. mamorensis is P. lijsimache, G. and S., from Chiriqui, but 

 the latter is a much greener form, and on the underside the 

 hind wings are much more rufous, and the ocelli, although 

 smaller than in procilla, are at least twice as large as in 

 mamorensis. 



Euryphcedra thauma, Stgr. 



Only the female of this remarkable species has hitherto been 

 knowm. The male has the fore wings considerably narrower, and the 

 hind wings more produced at the anal angle. The markings are as in 

 the female, except that the black spotting is somewhat heavier, and 

 that only the last three spots of the inner series on the hind wings 

 are present. 



One S from S. Cameroons. 



Cymothoe aramis form excelsior, f. nov. 



■"'t Female. — Similar to C. aramis, 9 > f- &xcelsa, Neust., but the 

 ground-colour above darker, and the median band of the hind wings 

 bright canary-yellow, narrowly edged with red on both sides. 



Habitat. — Bitye Ja River, Cameroons. One ? . 



Typical aramis ? has a yellow blotch on the fore wings and 

 a white band on the hind wings, whilst in the form excelsa, 

 Neust., the blotch on the fore wings is red and the band of hind 

 wings white. Excelsior, with red blotch on the primaries and 

 yellow band on secondaries, has a strikingly distinct aspect. 



Hypna mexicana, sp. nov. 



Female. — Allied to H. iphigenia, H. S., from Cuba, and H. 

 rufescens, Butl., from Venezuela. Upper side as in rufesceyis, but the
