New Species of Diurnal Lepidoptera. 563 
5. Leptalis Avonia. 
Male.—Upperside dark-brown. Anterior wing with a 
longitudinal spot within the cell, a large spot on the 
costal margin beyond the middle, a small round spot 
below this, and a lunular subapical spot, all pale yellow. 
Posterior wing pale yellow, polished where the wings 
meet; the outer margin broadly dark-brown. 
Underside as above, except that the lower half of the 
anterior wing is white and polished ; that the posterior 
wing has the costal margin and apex broadly brown ; 
that the costal margin is marked by two large oval 
pale yellow spots; and that both wings have a sub- 
marginal band of white spots, large and distinct on the 
posterior wing. 
Exp. 1-17/20 inch. 
Hab. Quito. 
In the collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
In form and in the position of the spots, this species 
greatly resembles L. Theucharila of Doubleday; 1m colour 
it is altogether different. 
6. Pieris cinerea. 
Upperside. Anterior wing with the basal half white, 
the costal margin and apical half black, marked with a 
subapical bipartite white spot. Posterior wing gray- 
blue, the outer margin, from the apex to the middle, 
broadly brown. 
Underside. Anterior wing as above, but paler. Pos- 
terior wing dark-brown, the costal margin, from the 
base to beyond the middle, white. 
Exp. 1-8/10 inch. 
Hab. Ecuador. 
In the collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
Very closely allied to P. ewsia of Lucas, but differs 
from it on the underside im wanting the yellow at the 
apex, and in having the posterior wing black instead of 
yellow. 
7. Heliconia Timareta. 
Upperside black. Anterior wing with one large central 
angular white spot, divided by the nervures, which are 
black, into seven unequal parts, five of which are above
