Butterflies from Tropical America. 223 
brown “and irrorated with dead silver ; primaries with outer 
margin and an oblique streak to apex silver; secondaries with 
a submarginal series of five silver dots near anal angle: legs 
and palpi below pepper-and-salt colour. 
Expanse of wings 2 inches 8 lines. 
Hab. Bugaba, Veragua, and Bogota (Lindig). Type, coll. 
Druce. 
There is an example of this species in the collection of 
the British Museum from Bogota. The species is allied to 
P. xenocrates, but much smaller, the primaries above being 
more like P. psammis. 
3. Paphia rutilans, n. sp. 
Wings above glossy magenta-red, with blue reflections ; 
primaries with apical half from basal third of costa to external 
angle sepia-brown, partly shot with blue, crossed near apex 
by a short, irregular, oblique magenta band (not reaching costa 
or outer margin); a lunulated dark brown bar from third 
median branch at its basal third to third fifth of submedian 
nervure ; secondaries with costa, apex, a lunate spot near 
apex, and outer margin sepia-brown; abdominal area pale 
brown; body olive-brown: wings below red-brown, hatched 
all over with grey, clouded, spotted, and banded with dark 
brown, as in P. centaurus; secondaries with four minute 
white anal submarginal dots: body whity brown, speckled 
with red-brown. 
Expanse of wings 2 inches 6 lines. 
Hab. Pucartambo, Peru (Whitely). Type, B.M. 
Coloured much like P. centaurus, but more like P. ryphea 
in form, size, and pattern. 
Subfamily Hzxrcovrwz, Bates. 
Genus HELiconivs, Fabricius. 
4, Heliconius clarescens, n. sp. 
Closely allied to H. telchinia, but differing in the restriction 
of the discoidal black streak of primaries to a short oblique 
spot above the origin of the first median branch, the absence 
of the internal streak, the yellow tint at termination of the 
fulvous area, and the absence of the black elliptical band of 
secondaries ; wings below with the same differences. 
EXxpanse of wings 3 inches 8 lines. 
Hab. Bugaba, Veragua. Type, coll. Druce. 
Probably a mimic of Mechanitis macrinus.
