some new Species of Erycina. 221 



Sp. 10. Erycina Periander. 



Pap. Periander, Cramer, Tab. 188, C. 

 Hab. Surinam. 

 I only know this from the figure of Cramer, quoted above. 



Sp. 11. Enjcina Calpharnia. (PI. XX. fig. 7 and 7 a.) 



Wings above dark umber-brown ; the anterior ones, each with 

 a nearly central transverse broadish white band, somewhat curved 

 outwardly, and narrowing towards the anterior margin. Posterior 

 wings, each produced into a broad gradually tapering long tail, 

 with a broad gradually attenuated white band, arising immediately 

 under the band of the anterior wing, and running thence nearly 

 parallel with the outer margin to a point a little below the termi- 

 nation of the abdomen, where the colour changes to orange, and 

 the band is continued, in a much narrower and uneven way, to the 

 interior margin of the tail, running close to and parallel with the 

 margin for more than half its length. The wing is fringed with 

 white externally, from the anterior angle to the extremity of the 

 tail, and a patch of white fringe occurs near the anal angle. The 

 undersides of the wings correspond in colouring with the upper- 

 sides, except that the umber-brown colour, between the band and 

 the body, changes to greyish-ash, and on the posterior wing a 

 narrow white band inclines upwards from the commencement of 

 the orange band to the base of the abdomen. The orange band is 

 also partly discontinued, appearing as an elongated patch, and a 

 narrow streak along the interior margin of the tail. Head and 

 antennae dark umber-brown. Thorax and abdomen dark umber- 

 brown above ; whitish-ash below. Legs whitish-ash.

Expansion of wings, 2-^^ inches. 



In the collection of Mr. Conrad Loddiges. 



For a knowledge of this fine female, the largest of the tailed 

 Erycinas which I have seen, I am indebted to Mr. C. Loddiges, 

 who kindly lent me the specimen to describe. He is not aware 

 from what part of the world it was obtained. 



Sp. 12. Erycina Aulestes. 



Papilio Aulestes, Cramer, Tab. 128 G. 



Hab. Surinam. (Cramer.) 



I am only acquainted with this from the figure given by Cramer, 

 above quoted.
