than on the lower river (Parad and River Tapajos), where the black 
borders are rather narrower, and the size of the insect smaller, than 
in the normal form. The bases of the costal and median nervures 
are very strongly inflated in this species, almost as much so as the 
costal is in the genera Cystineura and Olina. Its flight is very similar 
to that of the Oline ; but it wheels about over the bushes and lower 
trees, not so near the ground as is the habit of the Oline. 
Genus Vicrortna, Blanchard, Animaux Articulés, vol. iii. p. 447. 
In this genus the bases of the fore-wing nervures are quite simple, 
and the palpi of the female only slightly more elongated than those 
of the male. The distinguishing character of the genus is the strong 
curve upwards which the median nervure describes after the emission 
of its second branch. It is this which chiefly distinguishes one of the 
species (V. Sulpitia) from Heterochroa, to which it has more resem- 
blance in other respects than to its associate, V. Steneles.

Widely distributed in Tropical America, from Guatemala to South 
Brazil. It frequents open sunny places, such as deserted plantations 
and the borders of woods. I have not seen any local modifications 
from any part of its range.

A small, delicate species, little more than an inch in expanse. I 
found it only on the Lower Amazons, flying about the skirts of woods 
near the banks of the river at Para and on the River Cupari. Its 
mode of fhght, like that of all the other species of the genus, resembles 
that of the Pyrrhogyre, but is much weaker.
