This fine and very distinct species was discovered in Mexico 

 by Mr. Jurgensen. He only sent home a single specimen, which 

 is a male.

I only know this by the figure of Cramer ; it is very distinct 

 and easily known by the peculiar position of the crimson spot at 

 the base of the tail. 



Sp. 22. Erycina Heliconides.

Only known by the figure of Swainson above referred to. 



Sp. 23. Enjcina Timandra. (PI. XXHI. fig, 2 and 2 a.) 



Wings transparent, colourless ; the anterior ones above with 

 black nervures, and a black margin in shape of band surrounding 

 each wing, except for about two-thirds of the posterior margin, 

 the band being broader on the lateral margin : also with a black 

 patch at the base of the wing, and a nearly central broadish trans- 

 verse band of the same colour terminating a little before the 

 posterior angle on the posterior margin. Posterior wings each 

 produced into two tails, one short tooth-like on the anal angle, 

 and the other long, narrow, nearly of equal width throughout, 

 slightly diverging, placed at the termination of the lateral margin 

 above, with the nerves black ; a broad black band on the interior 

 margin, a narrow band of the same colour on the outer margin, 

 and a broadish black band running between the two, but nearer 

 and parallel with the outer margin ; all the bands uniting some- 

 what below the apex of the abdomen, and giving a black ground 

 to the wing and tails below, except where it is partly crossed near 

 the base of the tooth-like tail by a large crimson somewhat lunate 

 spot, which arises on the exterior margin of the wing, and curving 

 thence gently downwards crosses two-thirds the width of the wing, 

 and a small white speck nearly on the outer margin at the termi- 

 nation of the crimson spot. The shorter tail is tipped with white 

 and the longer tail fringed at the apex with the same colour,
