reddish spots on the upper surface of the wings; it is 
perhaps only a large race of EH. coctet of the same 
author, but has the under surface more vividly coloured, 
especially in some examples; immediately beyond and 
touching the projecting middle portion of the central 
belt on the under surface of the secondaries is a large, 
somewhat triangular, buff-yellow spot (best seen on 
female specimens), and the costal portion of this belt is 
bounded externally by a pale buff or bluish grey spot: 
these characters are described by Guérin thus :—‘‘ Les 
postérieures ont au milieu une ligne d’un blanc jaunatre, 
trés-sineueuse, dentée inférieurement, se terminant plus 
haut que le milieu en wne assez grande tache jaundtre et 
triangulaire ; ily aa la cote, et dans le prolongement de 
cette ligne blanche, wne assez grande tache de la méme 
couleur.” This part of the description misled me into 
supposing that Elina flora was intended, I having at that 
time seen no examples allied to H. coctei which showed a 
trace of such markings as were here described. 
The figure by M. Guérin agrees well with the specimens 
obtained by Mr. Edmonds, and which have, I believe, 
been regarded in Chili as slight varieties of H. pales, to 
which the species is nearly allied. 
As M. Guérin hints, the spots or patches of pale colour 
form part of the sinuous pale edging of the central 
belt; the white dots on the pale discal area beyond 
are very variable in number, frequently disappearing 
altogether. 
The species has what I take to be a rare variety in 
which the pale markings are wholly wanting from the 
under surface, and the ground colour of the secondaries 
is of a sericeous pale smoky brown colour, slightly washed 
with grey in the female; the central belt and outer 
border are of a darker brown colour, as usual, and do 
not differ in form from those of typical examples; two 
examples were in the general series, and a second pair 
from ‘‘ Near La Union, in the province of Valdivia,” was 
subsequently forwarded to me.
