This is one of the species which occurs most frequently in col- 

 lections, and is subject to vary in the brightness of its colours. 

 A very beautiful variety is figured at PI. XX. fig. 6, which differs 

 from the type in almost entirely wanting the blue at the base of 

 the anterior wings, and in having the crimson mark of the poste- 

 rior wings extending nearly to the outer margin. 



Sp. 2. Erycina Rhetus.

Hab. Surinam, (Cramer). 



Upon careful examination of all the allied species and comparing 

 them with Cramer's figure, the latter appears to represent a 

 distinct species, and may be known by the long black tails to the 

 wings, the small crimson spot on the inner margin of the posterior 

 wings, and the obsolete bluish band which appears immediately 

 behind the latter.
