Cricosoma ASCLEPiA. (Plate XXII, fig. 5, ^.) 



SymmacJiia asdcina, Hew., Equat. Lep. p. 51 ; Exot. Butt. v. 

 Eryciuidce, f. 9. 



^ . Ali.s liote aurantiis, costa anticaruni et marginibut- externis 

 maculi.s variis uigrescentibus, iis in costa trausversis et in cellulam 

 extendentibus ; snbtus fere sicut supra sed costa anticaruni et 

 niarginibus externis pallidioribus, niaculis nigrescentibus ad basin 

 extendentibus.

Hewitsou's type of this insect is in a very worn con- 

 dition, and it is scarcely re-cognizable from his figure. I 

 therefore take the opportunity of re-describing the species 

 from a better specimen in my own collection. C. asdcpia, 

 Hew., is a close ally of C. xypdc, Hew. ; the type of the 

 former is from Curarai. 



Cricosoma irroratum, sp. n. (Plate XXII, fig. G, $.) 



^ . Alis pallide fuscis, squamis sparse et maculis parvis obscuris 

 dense vestitis, iis ad margiues externos tlavo circumcinctis ; subtus 

 flaviSj maculis obscuris sicut in pagina superiore. 



Hob. British Guiana, Carimang River (Whitd//). 



In general colour this species somewhat resembles C. 

 call ir/raph urn, Hew., but it has less pointed wings, and 

 it is possible that the insect is not rightly placed in the 

 genus Cricosoma. 



Mesene iasis, sp. n. (Plate XXIT, fig. 7, ^.) 

 (^. Alls nigris cx^aneo tinctis, fascia lata intra et ultra cellulam 

 anticaruni fere ad medium marginis interni posticaruni extensa 

 coccinea ; subtus nigris l»te cyaneo lavatis, anticis macula elongata 

 in margine iuterno ocliracea. 



Hah. E. Peru, Sarayacu {Buddcy). 



A single male, closely resembling M. sagaris, Cram., but 

 larger and blacker, and showing a brilliant blue lustre 

 both above and beneath. The common band on the 

 upper-side is red, instead of being orange. The body 

 appears to want the ochreous band so conspicuous in 

 the male of M. sagaris. 



Mesene eanes, sp. n. (Plato XXII, fig. 8, ^.) 



(J . Alls nigris, auticis litura magna subtriangulari basali a cellula 

 ad marginem internum extendente, posticis altera discali oblonga, 

 coccineis ; subtus pallide fuscis basin versus oclirascentibus, maculis
