and there is also an ashy blue tint on the upper surface of the 

 latter in certain lights. Undersides of the wings the same as the 

 upper, with the exception of a row of bluish white spots across 

 the base of the tails immediately below the crimson spot. Head, 

 antennae, body and legs black.

This species closely approaches to Ery. Heliconides, but differs 

 chiefly in its smaller size, anterior wings less rounded on the ex- 

 terior margin, and the shape of the crimson spot, with a white spot 

 at its extremity on the outer margin. I have only seen one 

 specimen, a male.

The original specimen, from which the figure for the " Animal 

 Kingdom" was drawn, being in the British Museum Collection, 

 there can be no doubt but that it is identical with the Zeonia 

 Morissei of Boisduval above referred to. The specific name given 

 in the " Animal Kingdom " must therefore stand good, having the 

 priority. This is another nearly allied species to the two former 

 ones, but may be easily distinguished, by there being two crimson 

 spots in lieu of the crimson band at the base of the tails.
