some new Hesperiid^ from Central and South America. 379 



by the black median nervules. Cilia pure white ; black towards the 

 apex. Hind-wing concolorus with the fore-wiug and with the anal 

 angle rich red, and the cilia pure white from apex to the red area. 

 Palpi, legs, and antenna3 deep black ; head black with a white 

 frontal spot and white spots between and at the base of the antennae. 

 Collar broadly rich red. Abdomen concolorus with wings above 

 and below and with two minute white spots below at the base of the 

 anal segment. 



Expanse 2xV inch. 



Hob. Farinas, La Paz, Bolivia (1,500 m.). 



This insect has a transverse fascia as in the preceding 

 P. crnor, but it crosses the wing more obhquely. They are 

 both perhaps allied to P. styx, Moschs., which has red palpi 

 and a red anal tuft and is well figured by Plotz in his MS. 

 drawings (PI. 1274) as P. anina, Plotz. 



Jemadia, Watson. 

 Jemadia scomber, sp. no v. (Plate XXI, fig. 4.) 



$ . Both surfaces black with subhyaline spots and pale bluish 

 bands as is usual in the genus but distinguished from all others by 

 the broad ultra basal whitish-blue band on the fore-wing above and 

 by the large whitish undivided basal area of the hind-wing on the 

 same surface. On the under-side the blue bands are arranged much 

 as in J. hosjnta, Butler, but the extreme abdominal margin appears 

 to be black, not blue as in that species. 



Expanse 3J inch. 



Jlak Pozuzp, Peru, 5,000-6,000 ft. (Native collectors). 



Although of the well-known Jemadia type, this form 

 differs more from any described than any of the others 

 differ inter se so far as the colour and pattern of the wings 

 are concerned. Messrs. Godman and Salvin have shown in 

 the " Biologia Centrali Americana " the great difference 

 which exists in the male genitalia of the various species. 

 J. scomber is the giant of the genus, being much larger 

 than any other known. Mr. H. J. Adams has a specimen 

 also from Peru.
