This is a species soraeAvhat like the last above, but 

 perfectly distinct by the broad pale band on the hind-wing 

 below, and on both wings in the female above, which 

 Butler's figure does not well show. According to Edmonds 

 it is local at Valparaiso. I did not take it myself. 



12. Neommnas fractifascia. 



N. fractifascia, Butler, t.c, p. 455, PL XXI, fig. 8. 



A very distinct species which I found scarce at San 

 Martin, near Lake Quillen, and in the forest at Port Blest 

 in February. It frequents open places in the forest, and 

 was also taken by Edmonds near the Baths of Chilian in 

 March. The female has much more red on both wings 

 above, but both sexes vary in this respect.

 I took one only at Cauquenes. It is not uncommon 

 at Valparaiso and elsewhere, and frequents bushy un- 

 cultivated ground, but is not, I think, found in the forest 

 region. 



14. Neomcenas wallengrenii. 



N. vjallcngrcnii, Butler, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1881, 

 p. 456, PL XXI, fig. 5. 



A rare species, which seems distinct from the last, and 

 is represented in the British Museum by two bad speci- 

 mens taken by Edmonds in the woods below the Baths 

 of Chilian in March. I did not find it myself.

 This species seems to be most nearly allied to5c;5Ti/m,Wall., 

 with which it agrees in size and shape, but it is darker in 

 colour above and has the under-side of the fore-wing in 

 both sexes of a deeper rufous colour. The hind -wing below 

 is perfectly plain olive-grey with a darker marginal line. 

 The female has on the fore-wing above an indistinct black 

 ocellus, and both sexes have on the fore-wing below an
