collected i» Chili. 21 



We have received this species from Valparaiso in both 

 forms, so that I camiot think the oHvaceous type more 

 than a shght variety. The following may be distinct, 

 unless the whole of the forms, including H. erythrcea of 

 Blanchard, are referable to one variable species, which 

 is not impossible. 



33. Hyperchiria acharon, n. s. 



Primaries of male greenish grey, with a slight reddish 

 tinge showing through ; costal margin and fringe orange ; 

 black lines a little closer together than in H. erythrcea ; 

 carmine spots at end of cell similar ; of female less 

 greenish, and consequently redder ; the costal margin, 

 fringe, and veins reddish orange ; the black lines con- 

 siderably nearer together than in H. erythrcea, the inner 

 one deeply sinuated ; red spots as in the male ; both 

 sexes with the secondaries pink, but clouded or washed 

 with blackish from basal third to outer margin ; the 

 black stripe placed farther from outer margin than in 

 H. erythrcea, but the carmine ocellus similar ; fringe 

 orange, redder in the female than in the male ; body of 

 male ochreous ; the tegulae pale greenish grey, almost 

 white ; antennae testaceous ; body of female rose-brown, 

 with the tegulse greenish grey ; the thorax and head 

 rather more rusty in colour than the abdomen. Expanse 

 of wings — male 60 mm., female 69 mm. 



A pair. 



Var. dehilis. 



S . Altogether yellower than the typical male, the 

 ground colour of the primaries being sulphur-yellow, the 

 base of the secondaries and fringe saffron-yellow, and 

 the body a mixture of the two shades ; the carmine spots 

 on the primaries are also extremely small, and the inner 

 line less irregular. 



A single pair. 



The female of this form is much paler than the type, 

 and more rosy.
