Descriptions of American Rhopalocera. 107 
We have four specimens of this form. 
Melinxa cramert, sp. n. 
Papilio mneme, Cramer. Pap. Ex., Pl. 190, fig. C. (nec 
Linn.) 
Cramer’s figure of what he supposed to be P. mneme 
of Linnzus clearly refers to a very different species. 
This is shown distinctly by five specimens from Guiana 
in our collection, four of which were sent us from British 
Guiana by Henry Whitely. 
The differences consist in MZ. crameri having two black 
spots in the middle of the cell of the primaries instead 
of a comma-shaped spot extending towards the base. 
The base of the secondaries is fulvous and there is no 
definite fulvous subcostal stripe. The imner margin of 
the primaries is fulvous almost throughout its length, 
instead of black. 
Melinzxa egesta, sp. n. 
M. menophilo (Hew. Ex. Butt. Wechanitis 1, fig. 3, nee 2) similis, 
sed anticis apice nigro maculis tribus in linea obliqua flavis notato. 
Hab. CotomsBia; E. PERvu. 
We have four specimens of this Melinwa, two from 
Wheeler’s collection from the interior of Colombia, and 
two from Dr. Staudinger, to whom they were sent by 
Hahnel from Yurimaguas in Eastern Peru. The species 
is closely allied to IZ. menophilus, Hew., of Colombia and 
Ecuador as regards its chief markings, but may at once 
be distinguished by the yellow apical spots on the 
primaries.

Uelinva macaria, n 
M. menophilo quoque similis, sed anticis ad apicem flavo-maculatis 
ut in J. egesta, posticis plerumque nigris, margine externo et fascia 
subcostali tantum fulvis.
