two spots in the middle of the cell, and a streak over the lower disco-cellular 
-nervule ; and, lastly, a slender submarginal line along the outer border, 
thickened on the costa and at the anal angle. The palpi are short, and 
closely applied to the forehead ; so that ee are scarcely visible when the 
insect is viewed from above. 
2. Same beneath as the ¢, except that the white spots are larger and 
brighter. Above brown, apical half of fore wing black, crossed by two 
belts of large and clear-white spots, three in each belt. The palpi are of 
moderate length, pointed, and projecting in the usual way. 
I found this species both on the Upper and Lower Amazons, but 
it was nowhere common.

Q. Same shape as the ¢, and, beneath, the same in markings. Above 
lightish brown; apical half of fore wing dull black, with a brown spot near 
the hind angle, and crossed by two belts of white spots, three in each belt. 
Hind wing with a submarginal row of dusky lunules. 
Banks of the Tapajos and the Upper Amazons ; common at Ega.

Godart states that his description applies to the female, this being 
the only sex known to him; but his expression, “‘ cing taches blanches 
peu distinctes,” suits better for the fore wing of the male than that of 
the female. The species is of the same size as H. Anna and EL. Mal- 
vina ; but the produced apex of the fore wing is distinctly truncated, 
whilst it is rounded in those two allied forms. The following is a | 
brief diagnosis of both sexes of H. Mygdonia, 
do. Wings, above, brown, with a violet tinge ; hind wing with a dark 
submarginal line: fore wing apex produced and truncated, apical portion 
crossed by two belts of obscure pale spots, three spots in the inner, two 
(rather whiter) in the outer belt. Beneath: hind wing purplish brown, 
with chestnut-coloured markings disposed as in 2. Malvina; the ocelli, 
four in number, arranged two and two, of a lighter hue, with dusky irides 
and faint purple-brown pupils. 
Q. Above pale brown; apical half of fore wing darker, and crossed by 
two belts, each composed of three distinct white spots. 
The chief distinguishing character of the species, next to the colour 
of the g, is the two pairs of hind-wing ocelli; the purple pupils of 
which are sometimes obsolete. 
A common insect on the Upper Amazons, extending eastward as 
far as Villa Nova. Godart’s example came from Brazil.
