Hal. Farinas, La Paz, Bolivia (1,500 m.). 



This beautiful insect is not nearly allied to any described, 

 but may belong to the group which contains the Thracides 

 Joannisii recently described, and figured by Mons. Mabille, 

 in Gen. Insect. Fasc. xvii, p, 179, pi. 4, f. 2 (1904), from 

 Chiriqui, but the absence of white spots on the fore-wing 

 and the conspicuous orange collar distinguish it at once. 



Pyrrhopygopsis, Godman. 



Mons. Mabille has placed this genus in the sub-family

 by its veination it belongs to the Pamphilinie.

Allied to P. 7'omula, Druce, and P. tenebo'icosa, Hew., 

 but distinguished by the absence of the reddish-brown 

 shoulders on the fore-wing above, Avliich are present in 

 both those insects. It is also allied to P. orcdii, Weeks,
