HELICONIDA.—HELICONTA. 
Unpers1bE as above, except that the anterior wing has the base of the costal 
margin carmine, and the spot without its carmine border: that the posterior wing 
has the costal margin yellow at the base, and two carmine spots near it. 
Exp. 24% inch. Hab. Ecuador. (Canelos, Buckley.) 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
Unlike any other species: may be a variety of H. Notabilis. 
HELICONIA HIERAX. 20. 
Feliconia Hierax, Hewitson. Equat. Lep. p. \1. 
Upprrsipe black. Anterior wing with a band of scarlet (divided by the sub- 
median nervure) from the base outwards; crossed at the middle (at a right angle 
with the costal margin) by an irregular band of yellow (as in H. Clysonyma), com- 
mencing on the costal margin by a separate spot, and divided by black nervures into 
six parts: a small subapical trifid spot of yellow. Posterior wing crossed near the 
base by a broad band of scarlet, divided into seven parts by the nervures which are 
black. 
Unprrsipr pale brown. Anterior wing with the band and spot as above. 
Posterior wing with the base of the costal margin yellow: two scarlet spots near the 
base: indistinct rays of grey-white on both sides of the nervures from the middle to 
a series of submarginal white spots. 
Exp. 3379 inch. Hab. Ecuador. (Rio Topo, Buckley.) 
Near to Clysonyma ; too near to Himera of Hewitson to be specifically distinct. 
HELICONIA TIMARETA. 21. 
Heliconia Timareta, Hewitson. Trans. Ent. Soc. p. 563, 1867. 
Upprrsiper black. Anterior wing with one large central angular white spot, 
divided by the nervures, which are black, into seven unequal parts, five of which are 
above the median nervure: one, larger than the rest, within the cell, one above the 
subcostal nervure, and three (one of which is very minute) below this; the other two 
portions, which are below the median nervure, are large, and separated by the second 
median nervule. 
Unperrsipr dark brown. Wings as above, except that the anterior wing has a 
scarlet spot at the base of the costal margin, and that the posterior wing is pale 
yellow at the base of the costal margin, and has four scarlet spots at the base of the 
wing. 
Exp. 33 inch. Hab. Eeuador. (Buckley.) 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
Not unlike H Heurippa of Hewitson, if that species were deprived of its red spots. Some 
small examples have the spot within the cell of a different form.
