Sp. 8. Erycina Tphinoe. 



Ancylaris Iphinoe, Hiibner, Guyer, vol. 3. 



I only know this species by the figure of Hiibner in the volume 

 above quoted. 



Sp. 9. Erycina Jurgensenii. (PI. XX. fig. 3.) 



Wings above black-brown ; the anterior with two transverse 

 white bands, one broad, nearly central, slightly curving outwards 

 and somewhat narrower towards the anterior margin, where it 

 terminates in a crimson oblong spot ; the other, between the band 

 just described and the lateral margin, running nearly parallel 

 to the former, somewhat curved outwardly, narrow, and termi- 

 nating near the posterior angle. The posterior wings produced 

 into a broad, rather elongate, obtuse diverging tail, with a strong 

 tooth on the inner margin, and partly crossed by two white 

 bands ; the inner one broad, arising immediately under the broad 

 band of the anterior wing, curving inwards, and terminating some- 

 what below the apex of the abdomen ; the outer narrow, near and 

 parallel to the exterior margin, terminating on the same level as 

 the broader band, having also two crimson spots ; one elongated, 

 band-like, arising from the posterior termination of the broader 

 band, from whence it curves upwards to the interior margin of 

 the wing, which it reaches a little below the apex of the abdomen ; 

 the other nearly oval, placed about midway between the former 

 and the base of the tail. On the interior margin of the wing, be- 

 tween the two crimson spots, is a small white spot ; and there is 

 also a faint white streak, running from the oval crimson spot, 

 parallel with the inner margin of the tail, and terminating about 

 midway along the outer margin ; the sinuosities of the inner margin 

 of the tail and the tips of the same are fringed with white. The 

 undersides of the wings correspond in colouring to the upper. 

 Head, antennae, body, and legs black-brown. 



Hab. Mexico. 



Expansion of wings, 2-f^ inches. 



In my own collection. 



This is a female, collected by Mr. Jurgensen, a Swedish gentle- 

 man, who lost his life while acting as natural history collector in 

 Mexico, after whom I have named the species. It may possibly 

 be the female of Erycina Montezeuma, hereafter described. Both 

 were collected in the same country, and sent home in the same 

 box.
