black streaks. Beneath, same as in the male, but more uniform in colour, 
and destitute of the paler and blacker belts. 
This beautiful species was extremely rare ; I saw only one ex- 
ample of it during three years’ collecting in the neighbourhood of 
Ega, and only three or four at other stations on the Upper Amazons. 
It is quite distinct from the 7’. Jole of the West-India Islands and 
New Granada; but I am not quite sure whether it is different from 
the 7. Hermione of Dr. Felder (Lep. Nov. Columbie, no. 97), as the 
describer does not mention the faleate form of the wings and the 
clear limitation of the basal spot. 7. Hermione is recorded as inha- 
biting Ecuador, Peru, and the Upper Rio Negro.

Upper Amazons, occurring sparingly in company with other species 
on the borders of the forest, and settling in muddy places. The species 
appears to vary in the width of the white belt: Fabricius describes 
it as “ broad” in Surinam specimens; in Amazonian examples it is 
narrower than in 7’. Orstlochus; and specimens from Bolivia in the 
British Museum show a much reduced width. 7’. Catulus (Felder) 
from Ecuador seems to be a distinct but closely allied form.

6. Expanse 2” 2”. Above, very similar to T. Chiron. Fore wing less 
produced at the apex; hind wing destitute of anal lobe. Wings, above, 
tawny brown; apical third of fore wing dark brown, with the colour in- 
distinctly limited on the inner side, and having a curved row of three 
dingy-white spots: they are crossed by numerous dark-brown stripes,— 
namely, three, slender, over the fore-wing cell, the outermost of which 
extends to the hind wing (and is there followed by another shorter line) ; 
three, broad, tapering from the fore-wing costa to the hind-wing anal 
margin ; and two more, slender and submarginal, continuous only on the 
hind wing, being lost in the apical brown colour of the fore wing. Near 
the anal angle of the hind wing are three brown ocelli with black pupils. 
The anal angle is emarginated, and the lower angle of the emargination 
is tipped with red. Beneath, almost identical with 7. Chrethon, being 
lilacine-white, with numerous tawny streaks, one of which, straighter and 
thicker than the rest, crosses both wings from the middle of the fore-wing 
costa to near the anal angle. 
Q. Expanse 2” 2’. Similar to the male, but paler in hue; apical part 
of the fore wing with a row of five rather large white spots, the third of 
which lies nearer the base than the other four. Towards the apex are 
also two much smaller white spots. Beneath, same as in the male. 
Upper Amazons; rare. In company with 7. Chrethon.
