This is a curious insect much like P. phidias, Linn., but 

 is smaller and has a shorter and less pointed fore-wing, and 

 the anal annle of the lund-wing is less produced, and more 

 rounded. The front of the head only, is red. 



Pyrrhopyge cruor, sp. no v. (Plate XXI, fig. 2.) 



^ . Upper-side dark indigo-blue shading to green ; anal angle of 

 hind-wing rich red. Cilia of both wings, except towards apex of 

 fore-wing which is black and of anal angle which is red, pure white. 

 The fore- wing is crossed just before the middle by a broad band of 

 differently placed scales — darker than the ground colour of the wing 

 — commencing on the subcostal nervure, where it is broadest and 

 reaching almost to a point, to the submedian nervure. Palpi glossy 

 black ; antennae black ; head black with a long white frontal spot 

 and white spots at the base of the antenna? and between the eyes. 

 Collar broadly dark red. Under-side as above with the transverse 

 fascia on the fore-wing widening out beyond the end of the cell.

Perhaps nearest to P. arjcnoo'ia, Hew., which we have 

 also from Peru (La Merced), and which it resembles in all 

 respects, excepting the broad dark fascia described above. 

 P. agcnoria has never been figured, and I have identified 

 it from M. Mabille's collection, he having seen the type in 

 the Staudinger cabinet. 



Pyrrhopyge sanies, sp. nov. (Plate XXI, fig. 3.) 



(J. Upper-side rich dark brown with bluish reflections. Fore- 

 wing crossed rather before the middle by a semihyaline opalescent 

 white fascia commencing broadly on the subcostal nervure and 

 ending in a point on the submedian nervure and divided into three
