Hob. Colombia, San Pablo, Rio San Juan {ex 

 Standinger). 



The insect figured by Dr. Staudinger as L. sudias, Hew., 

 of which he sent me an example, was wrongly identified 

 and requires a new name. Hewitson's species is common 

 in the low country of Central America, extending from 

 southern Mexico to the republic of Honduras, the male 

 being very different from that of the Colombian insect. 

 L. staudingeri is considerably larger than L. sudias, the 

 ground colour of the upper surface of the male is entirely 

 violaceous, and the orange border of the secondaries is 

 absent. 



Lemonias pirene, sp. n. (Plate XXIII, fig. 8, ^.) 



$. Alls anticis nigro-fuscis, litura transversa magna ultra celhi- 

 1am et linea submarginali ca)ruleis, area marginis interni late 

 aurantia, maculis transversis nigris notata ; posticis aurantiis nigro 

 limbatis, ad apicem (et interdum in area discali) nigro punctatis ; 

 subtns griseo-c;\!nileis nigro maculatis, punctis elongatis in serie 

 submarginali griseo circumcinctis ; ciliis nigris et albis. 



Hah. Ecuador, Rio Napo ( Whitdy). 



This is a form of L. rhesa, Hew., from the Amazons, but 

 differs from it in the less extension of the orange colour 

 of the primaries and the much larger blue patch beyond 

 the cell. On the upper-side it is not unlike Charis 

 amaJfrcda, Stand., from Pebas, which, however, is a much 

 smaller insect. Two specimens. 



Lemonias nomia, sp. n. 



Lemonias thara, Hew., var., Exot. Butt. v. Lemonias, t, 5, 

 ff. 41, 42 {f, ?). 



Hah. Guiana, Aunai, Essequibo River ( Whilely), Cay- 

 enne {mus. G. & S.). 



The Guiana form of the Amazonian L. thara, Hew. 

 {= L. melia, Bates), requires a separate name. Hewitson 

 described it as a variety, but a comparison of his figures 

 of the male of each shows that they should be treated as 

 distinct. L. noviia may be readily distinguished from 

 L. thara by the fulvous colour of the upper-side, and also 

 by having an additional band of elongate black spots 

 crossing the wings beyond the cell.
