of the Amazon Valley. ae 
Tolima.” In the Amazons region it inhabits the moist and lofty 
forests of the plains, but only in the western portion of the region 
towards the Andes, commencing at the village of St. Paulo de 
Olivenca. It descends into sunny openings, and into open grounds 
on fine days, entering the houses in villages, and settling on the 
whitewashed walls, with its wings sometimes expanded and some- 
times erect. Its flight is extremely rapid and bold. Dr. Felder has 
received it from the Upper Rio Negro; so that its range comprises a 
large area under the equator to the east of the Andes, but near their 
eastern slopes. 
73. Pandora regina, n. sp. 
3. Expanse 3’7"". Similar to the figure given by Mr. Hewitson (Ex. 
Butt. Pandora, f. 4) as representing the 2 of Pandora Prociila, but differ- 
ing in the glossy-green band of the hind wing being twice the breadth, 
and followed by a flexuous green submarginal line; in the corresponding 
band of the fore wing being bordered on the inner side by a thick black 
line, and in the apical part of the same wing being crossed by a glossy- 
green line. 
Above greenish blue: fore wing with the outer portion deep black (the 
colour widest at the apex), crossed by a subapical glossy-green line; a 
broad belt of glossy green crosses the wing a little beyond the middle, the 
inner edge of which is irregular and atcompanied by a thick black line, 
four narrow lines and (near the apex) a single broader one crossing the 
cell, the three basal ones of which continue to the submedian nervure. 
Hind wing crossed by a broad glossy-green belt which becomes narrower 
towards the anal angle, and is there marked with two black spots, its inner 
edge accompanied by a zigzag black line, thickest towards the costa; the 
broad black outer border is traversed by a flexuous glossy-green line; the 
cell is crossed by two black lines, one very slender across the middle, and 
the other much thicker, lying over the disco-cellular nervules. 
Beneath: fore wing black, apex reddish brown ; cell greenish, crossed by 
six black lines; a broad light-green belt, white in the middle, traversing 
the wing towards the apex. Hind wing vermilion, shaded with dusky 
towards the apex; cell and space between costal and subcostal nervures 
crossed with two or three black lines, a similar but longer line crossing 
middle of the wing, and another running parallel and near to the outer 
border, the two latter enclosing a row of six dusky ocelli with minute 
black pupils. Antenne extremely long (13 lines), the apex forming a 
very slender club. 
This magnificent species only occurred once, namely, at St. Paulo, 
in a sunny nook in the forest, where I found it settled on the trunk 
of a tree, wings erect.
