LEPTALIS. III. 
LEPTALIS ANTHERIZE. 12. 
Leptalis Antherize, Boisduval, Mss, 
Uprrrsipr. Male. Anterior wing black, with a semi-transparent line from the base to 
the middle. Crossed beyond the middle by a transverse band of white. Posterior wing (except the 
costal margin, which is broadly grey, with the apex white), transparent ; the nervures and outer 
margin black. 
UnpersipE as above, except that the whole of the anterior wing from the base to the 
transverse white spot (the costal margin excepted) is of a glossy grey. The apex rufous 
marked with three minute dots of white. That the posterior wing has the outer and costal 
margin broadly rufous, the costal margin from the base to the middle semi-transparent and 
traversed by a black nervure, the outer margin with six lunular white spots bordered with black, 
the two spots nearest the apex larger than the rest, and rounded. 
Expan. 254 m. Hab. Mexico.

LEPTALIS LYSINOE. ¢ 13. 
& L. Lysinoe, Hewitson, Ex. But., Lep., figs. 3, 4. 
In the usual appearance the female does not differ from the male figured before, except in 
its greater breadth, and in being without the glossy costal margin of the under wing. The 
variety now figured is a female. 
In the Collections of W. W. Saunders and W. C. Hewitson. 
From what I have seen of this genus until recently, I had believed that the species were constant in 
their colouring and varied but little. I have now a series of specimens from New Granada, which differ 
from each other as much as any of the Heliconidie, and are so strange in the arrangement of the colour and the 
spots that it is almost impossible to say what species they are intended to represent. 
LEPTALIS SILOE. 14. 
Urrrrsipr. Male. Anterior wing brown, with several white spots, one from the base 
to the middle (clouded except at its point); a second at the middle of the costal margin 
trifid; a third (a small one) below it, and a fourth near the apex 4-fid. Apex with a row of 
five white dots. Posterior wing orange, the nervures and outer margin black, with four white 
spots between the middle and the apex ; costal margin broadly grey with a white spot. 
UnpersipE as above, except that the anterior wing is grey from the middle to the mner 
margin. That the posterior wing has the costal margin broadly brown with an oblong orange 
spot at the base traversed by a black nervule, and that the white spots or. the outer margin are 
continued to the anal angle. 
Expan. 2449 mm. Hab. New Granada. 
In the Collections of W. C. Hewitson and British Museum. 
This may be only a variety of L. Theucharila. There is a variety in the British Museum with the oblong 
spot at the base of the anterior wing orange.
