222 Mr. A. G. Butler on new Species of 
XXIX.—On some new Species of Butterflies from Tropi- 
cal America. By ARTHUR GARDINER Butter, F.L.S., 
F.Z.8., &e. 
Tue following species are chiefly interesting additions to our 
knowledge ‘of the Rhopalocerous fauna of Veragua, the An- 
tirrhea and Daptonura being most valuable, on account of 
the limited number of species in both genera hitherto recorded. 
Family Nymphalide. 
Subfamily Sarrzivz, Bates. 
Genus ANTIRRH&ZA, Westwood. 
1. Antirrhea tomasia, n. sp. 
Allied to A. miltiades; primaries above more like A. phila- 
retes, the transverse discal bar being indistinct ; secondaries 
darker in the male, rather paler in the female, with one small 
subapical white dot, no other markings; fringe sordid, not 
bright yellow as in A. miltiades: wings below almost as in 
A. philaretes, but richer in colour; the central band broader 
and more strongly angulated in secondaries than in any known 
species ; its external whitish marginal bar much narrower, 
scarcely indicated from the costa of secondaries to the third 
median branch, but wide and continuous from the first branch 
to the anal angle; the ocelliferous patch on median inter- 
spaces chiefly differing from that of A. philopamen in conse- 
quence of the encroachment of the angular outer edge of the 
central band; external border tinted with tawny. 
Expanse of wings, ¢3 inches 9 lines, ? 4 inches 3 lines. 
Hab. Bugaba, Veragua. Type, coll. H. Druce. 
Subfamily Nrwpzazivz, Bates. 
Genus Papua, Fabricius. 
2. Paphia Ada, n. sp. 
Wings above blue-black, with brighter blue gloss at base ; 
primaries with a pale greenish-blue maculated band (composed 
of seven spots), angulated near apex, running from the third 
fifth of the subcostal nervure to the end of the submedian ; 
secondaries with the costal area black-brown ; abdominal area 
pale rosy brown, clothed along submedian nervure and towards 
anal angle with long dark brown hairs: body above greenish 
black : wings below very similar to P. meris, but without the 
tail, chocolate-brown, sericeous, hatched and banded with dull
