South American Micro-LefidoiMra. 67 



Peru, Jurimaguas, in March, ten specimens; Brazil, 

 Para, in July, one $. Examples of the very similar 

 heteractis from Parintins, Brazil, and Iqiiitos, Peru, show 

 that the (^ has also a costal hairpencil, but no dorsal pencil ; 

 the costal strigula is always white, not violet-metallic. 



Calliprora Meyr. 



Both the described species of this elegant genus, peji fa- 

 gramma and irigramma, were found commonly from 

 Parintins and Tefie in Brazil to Iquitos and Jurimaguas 

 in Peru. I am able to give 7 additional species; the 

 peculiar wing-form is constant throughout the genus.
