of the Amazon Valley. 313 
all of which are margined with a paler hue than the ground-colour of the 
wing. Besides these dark spots, there are from ten to twelve pale brown 
spots, one or two between each of the longitudinal nervures. The margins 
of the wing are marked with blackish patches, and the fringe is spotted 
with white. Hind wing, above, with one black spot crossing the cell, and 
three lying over or near the disco-cellulars, besides one between each of 
the longitudinal nervures, all margined wholly or partly with pale green. 
There is also a row of six black ocelli, encircled with pale green, parallel 
to the outer margin, the two outermost of which are blind, the four inner 
ones furnished with slaty-green pupils, having each a central pale speck. 
Beneath: fore wing ochreous at the base; the rest of the wing dark brown, 
with three equidistant belts of white spots. Hind wing clear saffron- 
yellow, the outer margin black, with a quadrate ochreous spot between 
each interspace of the nervures; besides which there are three ochreous 
spots, margined with black, parallel to the apex. Abdomen, above, black, 
spotted with pale green. The thorax, above, slaty green, with two curved 
dorsal stripes meeting behind and a central spot black. Antenne elon- 
gate, ringed with white. 
In the neuration this differs from the male of A. Fornaa, which it 
resembles in colours underneath, by the upper radial nervure of the 
fore wing arising close to the subcostal, and by the lower disco-cellular 
joining the median close to its terminal fork. This large and fine 
species was met with only at St. Paulo, Upper Amazons. It has 
the same habits as its congeners, but is much swifter in flight. 
Although I saw several, I was able to capture only one example, 
78. Ageronia Belladonna, n.sp. (Pl. XIII*. fig. 3.) 
3. Expanse3"1'", Similar to 4. Amphinome in colour and markings ; 
differs in wanting the white belt and in other characters. Fore wing, 
above, black, with light-blue markings arranged as in 4. Amphinome, with 
the exception of there being a large blue circle exterior to the lower disco- 
cellular, and two blue lines instead of a blue patch between the origins of 
the first and second median branches; the white belt of A. Amphinome 
replaced by a row of four round grey spots, a fifth similar grey spot lying 
near the apex of the wing. Hind wing with light-blue markings, and 
ocelli precisely similar to those of A. Amphinome. Beneath: fore wing 
red near the base, the rest black, crossed by two belts of white spots, the 
first lying beyond the middle, and consisting of five large spots, the second 
near the apex, consisting of two smaller ones; besides these, there is a 
pale spot crossing the cell, and a row of blue spots parallel to the outer 
margin; this latter has a row of seven short bluish-white lines or spots. 
Hind wing rich orange-red, the outer margin and borders of the outer 
nervures black; the black border is broad at the apex, where there are 
two rows of light-blue spots, the rest of the outer border having only a 
single marginal row.
