 Negro, 800 m, A. H. Fassl) is either a temporal form of nxii/dnlena or a proper species. It is much more 

 imposing, the colour of the basal part of the forewing and of the greatest part of tlie hindwing is verdigiis. of 

 which colour all the larger subapical and submarginal spots are, too. The under surface is paler and the sub- 

 basal band of the forewing is absent. 



A. vestina Heir, from Ecuador not lying before us. according to the description of JiiiujfJalemt (120 f c), vrsihin. 

 greatly resembles magdafena (120('c) beneath, but the imder surface is aj)pai-cntly browner. The upper sm-- 

 face of the forewings has a brown distal margin and the hindwings are red-lirow n with a broad bent green longi- 

 tudinal Ijand. Otherwise the upper surface agrees with niagdalena. 



A. forreri G. and S. (120 De). Wings bluish-black; forewing at the basal area of a bright blue and jon-rn. 

 w ith a, blue subapical band from the costal nuirgin as far as nearly to the border, as well as two confluent blue 

 spots near the anal angle. Forewings very pointed, hindwings without tails. Beneath of a pale brown, irro- 

 rated with brown and grey, and especially in the anal angle of the forewings thus marbled, the forewings with 

 a rusty-reddish hue in the disc'al area. $ like the ,^, but the hindwing witli a spatulate tail. Mexico;

A. ambrosia Druce (120 Da) from Chiricpii seems to be very constant above and beneath, since the iiiiihri»iia. 

 4 ,^o' lying before us do not exhibit any differences. The $ is uidcnown to us. It has on the hindwings bright 

 metallic marginal spots standing between the chief veins, on the so-called intermediate veins. 



Of A. phoebe Druce (120 Cc) from Bolivia we reproduce a copy of the original figure. It seems to be phochc. 

 the Bolivian representative of ainhrosia. Above the blue margin of the forewings is broader and more uni- 

 formly connected with the subapical band and the internerval diffuse spots of the margin of the hindwing are 

 united to an uninterrupted marginal band; the under surface is more checpiered by being more traversed by 

 light cloudy bands. It is, furthermore, of a c^uite different shape of the forewings and hindwings. 



A. chorophila spec. nov. (120 Da) from East Colombia (Upper Rio Negro, 800 m) and Bolivia (Rio rh<ir«),hihi. 

 iSongo, 750 m, A. H. Fassl). We cannot decide for certain whether the figured $ (from Bolivia) belongs to 

 this species. It is beneath rather pale: brownish-grey with a faint greenish shine, on the forewings there runs 

 from the apex towards the middle of the inner margin a series of obsolete blackish spots, a larger .spot of the 

 same colour at the end of the discocellular, somewhat brightened at the distal mai'gin. The hindwings 

 exhibit 2 obsolete broad dark oblique bands in the outer half of the wings, and between the tail and the 

 inner angle some obsolete whitish-reddish sjjots. 



A. polyxo Druce (120 D a, b) from the Upper Amazon, from Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, and according imhi.m. 

 to Druce also from Rio is a very attractive species with a pretty and most characteristic under surface. The 

 .specimen before us from Bolivia (Coroico, 1200 m, A. H. Fassl) is beneath much lighter. The $ is unknown 

 to us. 



A. dia <S'. and G. ,^ wings greenish-black; the forewings at the base of a hardly stronger green colour, did. 

 with a lustrous light-green curved subapical band of 3 to 5 mm breadth, being parted by the veins, reaching 

 the aiuil angle, touching the margin in the posterior half of the border and being continued on the hindwings 

 as the same marginal band and reaching their anal angle. Fringes w^hite; hindwings without tails. The 

 under surface is without markings, dark silky brown, the apex of the forewing and the margin of the hind- 

 wing grey, the dorsal area of the hindwing somewhat lighter. — The most closelj' allied with the Brazilian 

 ■polyxo, differing, however, by the colouring of the upper surface of both wings, which are more green than 

 blue. Panama. On the whole, the upper surface greatly resembles that of A. florita (120 Bb), but instead 

 of the spots before the apex there is a small obliciue band with a more intense blue lustre than the blue basal 

 part. — A. divina Stgr. i. 1. (120 Db) from Bolivia (Coroico. 1200 m, A. H. Fassl) and the Upper Amazon dh-iud. 

 resembles the preceding species above and beneath, though it is much more imposing. The magnificent upper 

 svH'face is equalled by the entirely different under surface. The $ is unfoitunately not known to us. It is 

 very rare. 



A. aureola Bates (]2nl)b) from Guatemala, Panama (Lino, soo ni) and Colombia (Muzo 400 lo durnilii. 

 800 m, A. H. Fassl) vies with rosae in the beauty of the under surface. In the 9 being extraordinarily diffe- 

 rent, the broad white band of the upper surface of the forewing is noticed also beneath where it is distally broa- 

 dened and blurred, on the whole yellowish and with single brown small spots; the hindwings exhibit 2 large 

 and 3 small golden spots in the slia.])c of a I'ow being geniculatcd in flic middle and 1urn(>d towards (he inner 

 margin.
