Central America. By W. C. Hewirson, F.L.S. 
{Read 2nd January, 1871.] 
Heterochroa Makkeda. 
Male. .Upperside: dark brown. Both wings crossed 
obliquely by a broad band from the costal margin of the 
anterior wing to the abdominal fold of the posterior wing ; 
orange on the anterior wing, and divided by the nervures 
into eight parts, the fourth part projecting beyond the 
rest towards the apex ; white on the posterior wing, with 
its outer border broadly orange. Anterior wing with some 
black lines and an orange band in and below the cell, 
and a subapical bifid orange spot; crossed by two sub- 
marginal rufous bands. Posterior wing crossed by three 
similar bands ; an orange spot at the anal angle, marked 
by two black spots. 
Underside: as above, except that it is rufous-brown, 
that the bands and spots are all white or lilac-white; that 
the anterior wing has the central band broken into spots 
by a rufous line, a third subapical spot, and a triangular 
bifid white spot at the base, and that the posterior wing 
has two white bands across the base, and covering the 
abdominal fold, and a short linear band between them 
and the central band. 
Exp. 2,4, inches. 
Hab.—Pari. In the collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
Easily known from all the other species by having the 
central band of the posterior wing divided longitudinally 
into white and red. On the underside it scarcely differs 
from H. Hrotia. 
Heterochroa Zalmona. 
Male. Upperside: dark brown. Anterior wing with 
indistinct bands of paler colour in and below the cell; 
crossed transversely near the middle from the costal 
margin to near the anal angle, by a slightly indented 
band of orange, divided into seven parts by the nervures ;
