 Paraiuba, Ecuador (Flemiuing). 



In coll. Charles Oberthiir 4 ? ? from French Guiana. 



Our Paramha s|)ecimeii, a ? , is very ])ale ; it is a bred specimen, and apparently 

 killed too soon after emergence from the chrysalis. 



413. Pholus adamsi spec. uov. (PL II. f. 2, S). 



S ■ Body aV)ove vinaeeous-cinnamon ; a black mesial line on head and meso- 

 notum, abbreviated in front and behind, no dark patch or streak on mesothoracical 

 tegula ; metanotum black ; a small lateral spot on second abdominal segment, and 

 a large snbtriangular dorso-lateral patch on the third and fourth segments brownish 

 black. Undersiile of body more red, paljius vinacedus-rnfous, white at extreme 

 base ; a white dash behind eye ; abdomen vinaceons-pink. 



Wings, ahore. Forewing : vinaeeous-cinnamon, dusted with brown scales ; 



lines nearly as in trrnislincatKS, but basal dot larger ; five discal lines, the most 

 distal one almost continuous, its posterior portion being less proximal than in truns- 



linentiis. Hindwing : a large black patch from base to end of cell continued 



towards anal angle, where it joins the black anal patch ; this branch of the patch 

 dilated at M^ and joining a black jiostdiscal band, which does not reach costal 

 margin, but has the ajipearance of being a continuation of the black anal patch, 

 corresponding to the postdiscal band of ti/j>/ion, /asciatus, etc. ; abdominal and 

 costal margins jiinkish red, distal margin salmon-red ; centre of wing and a 

 subbasal patch before abdominal margin grey, with a shade of olive-bnft'. 



Liiulersi<lc vinaceons-ferrnginons, tnore vinaceous-red towards abdominal 

 margin of hindwing ; both wings crossed on disc l)y three blackish brown lines, 

 which become red in jiosterior half of hindwing, and are parallel with one another 



as well as with onter margins, but curving costad on both wings. Forewing: 



basal area greyish brown, blackish behind cell ; outer margin with a broad greyish 



brown band shaj^d as in fasciatug, rifis, etc. ^Hindwing : extreme base as on 



forewing; outer margin very thinly brown, this brown border slightly widened 

 between M- and SM-. 



Hindtiliia shorter scaled than in fnxridttis ; foretibia with a few spines at end. 

 First segment of liindtarsus as long as tibia. 



S. Tenth tergite slender, sharjily pointed. Clasper with strongly convex 

 ventral margin ; friction-scales inconspicuous ; no patch of bristles on inner side ; 

 barpe with two i)rocesses, the ujjper process corresponding to that of satelUtia, 

 pointed, curved, bent laterad and ventrad ; the other process broad, feebly chitinised, 

 obtuse, subconical, hollow (PI XLVlll. f. 9, lateral aspect). Penis-sheath ending 

 in an acute stout process, which is more curved than ordinarily in this genus. 



? and early stages not known. 



Length of forewing, i, 40 mm. ; breadth, 1(5 mm. 



Ildb. Venezuela. 



One S iu the Tring Museum; a second cJ in M us. Stockholm ; not seen in 

 other collections. 



Named in honour of II. J. Adams, who gave us the specimen in exchange. 



Easily recognised by the colour of the hindwing, in which it diOers widely from 

 truiisUHe(itU)<.
