 the base : a transverse band beyond the middle, a spot near the middle of the inner 

 margin, and a spot near the anal angle, all pale yellow. Posterior wing with two linear

 rufous spots on the costal margin of the posterior wing befoie its middle. 



Exp. 1 1% inch. Hab. Amazon.

This may be a variety of N. Soranus, but differs from it too much to be considered as such. 



NYMPHIDIUM EROE. 11, 12. 



Upperside. Female purple brown. Anterior wing with the usual black spots 

 in and below the cell : a spot on the costal margin and a cruciform spot below it at 

 the middle of the wing pale yellow. Posterior wing with a brown spot at the end of 

 the cell, a transverse broad band of pale yellow beyond the middle, followed by a band 

 of dark brown spots, a band of linear obscure spots of white : the margin dark brown, 

 the fringe alternately grey and brown. 



Underside as above, except that it is paler ; that the anterior wing is crossed 

 by a continuous band of white and has two dark brown spots near its anal angle ; 

 that the baud of the posterior wing is preceded by some pale spots, is continued 

 to the outer margin, and is marked by conical black spots, large and in pairs, near the 

 angles. 



Exp. lyy inch. Ilab. Cayenne. 



In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 



On the underside this species scarcely differs from N. Arctos, of which it may be probably only a 

 variety.
