464 Mr. P. I. Lathy on 



Under-side. — Fore-wing with basal half brown, a yellowish 

 ringed black spot containing white points as above at end of cell, 

 and a dark patch below it, three dark lines before spot and three 

 beyond, white band and outer margin as above but without blue ; 

 hind-wing with basal half brown crossed by nine dark lines, the 

 centre one being broken into spots, white band and outer margin 

 as above but without blues.. 



Expanse 40 mm.

This species has as its nearest ally M. jcziela, Butl., but 

 it may be easily distinguished by the absence of white 

 on the outer margin of the hind-wing above. In Mr. 

 Grose-Smith's collection is a specimen from Ecuador 

 which probably belongs to the species here desciibed, it 

 differs in the reductiun of the blue and white bands. I 

 think, however, that there is no doubt that specimens 

 will eventually be procured that will connect the two 

 forms. 



Urycina lati/asciata, sp. nov. (Plate XXVII, fig. 8.) 



c( . Upper-side. — Fore-wing black crossed at centre by a wide 

 slightly-curved scarlet band ; hind-wing black, a narrow scarlet 

 band beyond centre extending from costa two-thirds of distance 

 across wing, a few blue scales at end of this band, a faint red spot 

 on inner margin, three pale centred metallic blue spots at base of 

 tail, a dark blue streak in tail ; cilia white in interspaces particularly 

 at anal angle. 



Under-side. — Fore-wing metallic blue changing to green in certain 

 lights ; base, costa, apex, nervules and an oblique band from costa 

 to anal angle black, inner margin blackish-ljrown with a scarlet 

 patch just before anal angle ; hind-wing shining blue changing to 

 green in certain lights ; base, nervules, outer margin and a band 

 just beyond centre black, a scarlet spot at anal angle and a white 

 spot below it. 



Expanse 54 mm. 



Hab. San Remon. Peru, 3000 ft., 2 $ $ (type); La 

 Merced, Peru, 4 ^ ^ . 



Closely allied to F. huascar, Saund., from which it may 

 be distinguished by the much wider and more curved 

 scarlet band of the fore- wing above, and the shorter 

 scarlet band of the hind-wincr.
