narrowly black and inner margin grey. Below, both wings uniformly 

 pale grey, fore wing with slight tinge of brownish basally ; both 

 wings have a roughened appearance. Fore wings with a transverse 

 row of five darker outwardly paler edged long narrow spots from 

 vein 2 upwards midway between cell-end and hind wing. This band 

 is continued on hind wing less evenly extending to inner margin 

 where it becomes black. In anal angle a little darker grey shading. 

 Anal lobe black, black extending along margin and the short tail at 

 end of vein 1. No buff or red markings of any kind. 



Hyutaiiaban, Labrea, Eio Purus, November, 1913. 



Nearest T. leucophceus, Hb., but easily separated by the 

 r< striction and brighter colour of the blue above, and the absence 

 of yellow liind-wing markings below. 



Hesperid.e : Pyrrhopygin^. 



22. Yauguna nifescens, sp. nov. 



^ . Head brown, with a narrow w^iite collar. Palpi white. 

 Patagia (and probably whole of thorax) and part of abdomen above 

 ■clothed with long brick-red hairs. Tip of abdomen brown, internally 

 white. Front coxse densely clothed with long creamy hairs. 



Both wings above and below dark brown with dull greenish-blue 

 reflections. A narrow transverse band near the base of the fore 

 wing and a large subbasal area on hind wing the same colour as 

 the patagia. Fore wings with a broad central band consisting of 

 three spots, the upper two oblong, the lowest triangular, situate in 

 the cell and interspaces 2 and 1, all white and semi-transparent. On 

 the underside this band is continued into interspaces 11 and 12 and 

 in the latter is considerably extended basally and distally. Fringes 

 of fore wing apically brown, becoming white towards tornus. Hind 

 wings below as above but with subbasal red-brown area, fringes 

 white, brick-red at anal angle, then brown towards inner margin. 



Abuna, Upper Madeira, October, 1913. 



Differs from Y. aspitha, Hew., its nearest ally, in having the 

 thorax, etc., brick-red, not yellow, in the colour of tbe fringes 

 tmd duller appearance. May be only a local race of this species, 

 however.

23. Kudamiis reductus, sp. nov. 



1^. Head, thorax, abdomen and legs brown. Both wings above 

 <lark brown. Fore wing finely sprinkled with yellow scales, three 

 small transparent subapical spots arranged in a crescent, the first 

 two spots of the central transverse band present, small, the one 

 below in the cell reduced to a small triangular spot, the one in 

 interspace 2 comparatively large but turned outward and pointing 

 to costa midway betw^een those above and the subapical spots ; 

 slightly beyond this spot, above and below, are two very small spots 

 in interspaces 3 and 1, all translucent; fringes brown. Hind wing 

 with a large white marginal area, its inner edge stretching from 

 .anal angle nearly to vein i then abruptly to the margin, fringes
