I found this species abundant in neglected and weedy coffee-plan- 
tations and on the borders of the forest at Pard and Cametd, and 
also on the Upper Amazons, on both sides of the river from Ega to 
St. Paulo. The Parad specimens agree with the figures given by 
Clerck and Hubner; but those from the Upper Amazons differ in the 
outer border of the hind wing, in both sexes, being traversed by a 
plumbageous instead of a white line. This is scarcely sufficient to 
warrant their distinction as a separate-named race, especially as 
some examples of intermediate character are found flying together 
with the better-marked forms. 
99. Hubagis Chryseis,n.sp. (Pl. XIV. figs. 2, 2a.) 
dg. Expanse 1" 8'". Fore wing rather pointed, and outer margin 
slightly incurved towards the hind angle of the wing. Wings, above, silky 
green; apex and outer border of fore wing deep black, the border being 
very broad near the apex, but much narrowed near the hind angle between 
the first and second median branches. Hind wing with a very narrow 
black border. Beneath: fore wing, basal third white, with a reddish stripe 
over the subcostal nervure, and a black belt across the cell to the hind mar- 
gin; apical two-thirds black, with five large white spots—namely, three 
in a row across the wing, and two near the outer margin, the one towards 
the apex being twice the size of the others; the outer margin is reddish, 
with a submarginal darker line edged with plumbageous; a few plum- 
bageous spots also exist at end of cell and over the disk of the wing. Hind 
wing white, the base and five stripes (all of equal thickness) reddish ; the 
second and third stripes diverge slightly from the costa to the abdominal 
border, and the fourth unites with the fifth near the costa and the anal 
angle; at the latter point there is a short black streak and two plum- 
bageous lines. 
I took only one example of this elegant species, namely, at 
St. Paulo, on the Upper Amazons.

This charming and peculiarly-coloured species has a very limited 
area of distribution, being confined, as far as at present known, to
