4. Melincea lilis, Doubl. & Hew. 

 We prefer at present to refer the single example of 

 this insect which Mr. Simons has sent us from Manaure 

 to this species. It differs, however, in the following par- 

 ticulars from our Venezuelan and Panama specimens. There 

 is a greater extension of the tawny colour towards the outer 

 margin of the primaries at the expense of the black. The 

 primaries have three subapical white spots, the second and 

 third of which are bipartite, two double white submarginal 

 spots between the first and second and the second and third 

 median branches, and a row of the same colour on the black 

 margin of the secondaries. These spots are absent or 

 obsolete in M. lilis. It is probable that these differences 

 are constant, and that the insect is a good local race ; 

 but in the absence of more materials we have thought it 

 better to regard it as a variety only. It appears to bear 

 about the same relationship to 31. lilis that that form does 

 to 31. imitata, 



9. Ceratinia philidas, sp. n. (Plate III., fig. 1). 



Exp. 2-5 poll. 



Alis rufis, anticis costa ad basin, margine interno et 

 apicibus nigris, macula subtriangulari in cellulae medio 

 et duabus ad finem coloris ejusdem, litura flava ultra 

 cellulam a costa angulum analem versus extendente, punctis 

 septem margini externo parallelis, flavis ; posticis fascia 

 lata intra ramum medianum et marginem externum, hoc 

 punctulis albescentibus obsoletis notato. Subtus ut supra, 

 sed punctis marginalibus magis distinctis ; antennis flavis, 

 ad basin nigris. 



Obs. — G. tJiece, Hew., affinis, sed anticarum macula 

 cellulari nigra et secundariis fere omnino nigris distin- 

 guenda.
