$. Alis nigrescentibus, anticis fascia obliqua a costte medio fere

Hah. Ecuador, Rio Napo ( Whitel/j). 



The above description is taken from a single female much 

 resembling that sex of ^. lagus, Cram.; but it is blacker, the 

 band on tlie j^rimaries is whitish, and the secondaries are 

 without definite white spots on the outer margin beneath ; 

 the cilia of the hind-wmgs, too, are spotted with white. 

 A. M23pocrate is not unlike the female of A. 'plieedon, but 

 the band of the fore- wings is whitish instead of orange, 

 and the secondaries are differently marked on the under- 

 side.

J . Ali.s nigrescentibus kete purpureo tinctis ; subtus nitente 

 fuscis, inter venas ad basin et ad margines externos pallide ochra- 

 ceis.

Hal). Ecuador, Rio Napo {Wkitely). 



A close ally of A. vclutina, Butl., from the Upper 

 Amazons, but smaller, the male with less elongate wings, 

 and the lustre of the upper-side is purple instead of blue, 

 as in A. vclutina, and extends over the whole surface. 

 Five specimens.

 maculas formantibus, ea angulum analem versus elongata ; posticis 

 (nisi area costali et venis omnibus) creruleis ; subtus fusci?, ad angu- 

 lum analem anticarum et posticarum cajruleo indistincte maculatis. 



Hcth. W. Colombia, San Pablo, Rio San Juan {ex 

 Staudingcr). 



Very near Aricoris alcniiGon, Hew., from Ecuador, but 

 differs in having the blue scales on the primaries forming 

 scattered elongate spots towards the outer, instead of 

 occupying a broad space along the inner, margin. Three 

 specimens.
