328 Mr. H. W. Bates on the Nymphalinz 
margins of streams, often congregating in countless flocks; flying 
rapidly, and settling in moist places. .

Timetes Berania, Hewits. Exot. Butt. Tim. f. 1, ¢ (not f. 2, which is a 
distinct species). 
Q. Above, rich tawny brown; the black stripes same in number and 
position as in well-marked examples of the male, but they are broader 
and of a browner hue. Beneath, precisely the same as in the male. 
This beautiful species is not found on the Lower Amazons. It is 
abundant on the upper river, and is also found in Peru and as far 
north as Guatemala, where Mr. Salvin found it in plenty. It fre- 
quents the moist margins of pools and streams at the beginning of 
the dry season. The female is very rare.

A common insect throughout the Amazons region ; it does not 
appear, however, in such swarms as its congener, 7’. Chiron, and is 
chiefly found in sunny places in the forest, flying about and settling 
on trees. The female does not differ in colour or form from the male. 
120. Timetes heraldicus, n. sp. 
¢. Expanse 2” 4", Similar in colours to 7. Jole (Drury). Fore wing 
strongly falcated, the apex being prolonged into a narrow point, and the 
outer margin, immediately after the apex, strongly incurved and waved. 
Wings, above, rich deep brown, without blue gloss; basal half of the fore 
wing orange-tawny, silly, the outer edge of this colour straight and 
sharply defined. Basal part of the hind wing also orange-tawny, but its 
outer edge distinctly defined only near the costa, in the other part being 
gradually blended with the ground-colour of the wing. Anal angle of 
the hind wing very slightly emarginated, and the angles of the emargina- 
tion not projecting. Beneath, scarcely different from 7. Zole; lilacine- 
brown, with a few fine curved dusky streaks across the basal halves of the 
wings; across the disk is a broad belt of a paler brown hue, and succeeding 
this a belt of a much darker brown hue; towards the apex of fore wing 
and anal angle of hind wing are a few ashy spots, and in a line with these 
a row of blackish specks. 
©. Expanse 2” 4". Wings of precisely similar form to those of the 
male. The colours, above, are paler and duller; the tawny basal parts of 
the wings are crossed by numerous black streaks, five of which cross the 
fore-wing cell. Towards the apex of fore wing is a row of three distinct 
white spots, The hind wing is almost wholly tawny-brown, crossed by
