ERTCINIDiE. ERYCINA AND NECYRIA. 



it is so broad as to fill up nearly the whole of that projecting portion of the wing 

 common to this genus) by a band of blue : the fringe spotted with white.

Exp. 1t^ inch. Hah. Ecuador. (Ashpiyaco, Buckley.) 



In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 



Near to E. Inca of Saunders, but at the same time abundantly distinct.

Necyria Beltiana. Ent, Mon. Mag., June, 1870. 



Upperside. Male, l)lue-black. Both wings crossed by a band of green-blue,

 posterior wing, and divided into conical spots. 



Underside as above, except that the band is broader and more brilliant in colour : 

 that the anterior wing has the base of the costal margin, a trifid spot in the cell, and 

 a spot at the end of the cell blue, and a small spot near the inner margin carmine : 

 that the posterior wing has five spots near the base and the inner margin brilliant 

 blue. 



Exp. 2 inches. Hab. Nicaragua. (Chontales, Belt.)

Gratefully dedicated to Mr. Belt, as an aokuowledgmeut of the many beautiful new species
