first, third three-fourths the length of the second, fourth rather more 
than half the length of the third, fifth not quite so long as the third. 
Claws curved, acute, grooved below; paronychia bilaciniate; the 
outer lacinia slender, pointed, not so long as the claw; the inner 
lancet-shaped, much broader than and nearly as long as the outer, 
very hairy; pulvillus jointed, broad, not so long as the claws. Ab- 
domen rather short, not robust. 
This interesting genus, as remarked above, appears to be almost 
confined to the eastern slopes of the Andes and to the great branch 
of that mountain-range which runs along the northern parts of South 
America. Nearly all the specimens of the five or six species belong- 
ing to it existing in British collections were sent home by Mr. Bridges 
from the eastern parts of Bolivia, and by Mr. Dyson from Caraccas. 
The peculiar sexual scales on the disc of the anterior wings of the 
males resemble those of the males of most species of this family in 
being long, tapering to a delicate hair-like point, at the end of 
which is a little plumelet. 
In form this genus resembles the P. Actorion of Linneus, which 
is the type of the genus Napho of Boisduval, but that insect belongs 
to the preceding family of Morphide.

Anterior wings, above chocolate-brown at the base, darker at the 
apex and along the outer margin; between the cell and the apex is 
a transverse band composed of three fulvous spots, the first of which 
is divided by the subcostal nervure ; midway between the cell and the 
outer margin a curved spot of the same colour, divided by the first 
median nervule, and a rounded spot of the same colour near the anal 
angle. Posterior wings with the anal angle considerably produced 
into a tail, entirely chocolate-brown. Below, the anterior wings are 
fuscous, the base rather paler, the apex ashy; the subapical spots 
nearly white, the others as above; the posterior wings clouded and 
freckled with ashy-grey and fuscous, having a slight silvery reflec- 
tion ; a transverse band, commencing on the costa, crosses the middle 
of the cell, and terminates before it reaches the inner margin; a 
second similar band commences on the costa, and running along the 
lower disco-cellular nervule, terminates at the tail. 
Head, thorax and abdomen fuscous above, the two latter greyish 
below; antennz fuscous; palpi fuscous above, pale below. 
This insect was taken by Mr. Dyson in the mountains of Caraccas, 
where it seems to be rather rare. 
2. DescrIPTION OF A NEW GENUS OF NovroponTIpDZ&. 
By E. Dovustepay, F.Z.S. 
Genus Hytaora. 
Head small, densely clothed with long hair-like scales, those at the 
base of the antenne very long, forming two tufts, which meet over 
the vertex. Eyes round, prominent. Maxille slender, short, scarcely
