Diurnal Lepidoptera from South America. 147 
spot on the posterior wings is large and only slightly tinged 
on its inner edge with blue ; beneath, the red of the anterior 
wings is confined to a quadrate spot within the cell; the bend 
only of the costa of the posterior wings is red, this colour not 
reaching to the base of the wing; a small branch, however, 
leads into the basal black transverse band.

Callicore eupepla, sp. n. 
The refulgent spot of the anterior wings, except along the 
costa, reaches to their base, the lower portion being bluish. 
On the posterior wings the refulgent spot blends into a rich 
blue, which pervades the whole of the wing. Underside—a 
broad band of red crosses the anterior wings near their base : 
the costa of the posterior wings is red for two-thirds of its 
length, and beyond the termination of this colour is a quadrate 
spot, also red. 
Hab. Costa Rica (Carmiol).

13. Callicore phlogea, sp. n. 
The refulgent spots are narrower than in either of the pre- 
ceding species, and, looking at both anterior and posterior 
wings, form a crescent-shaped mark; the posterior wings are 
suffused with blue; underside, the basal half of the anterior 
wings, except the base itself, is red. The costa of the pos- 
terlor wings is red for two-thirds of its length, this colour 
branching at its base as in C. Metiscus.

14. Batesia hypoxantha. 
Like B. hypochlora, Feld. (Voy. Nov. t. 53. f. 1, 2), but 
differs in the following characters. The upper surface is 
greener where L. hypochlora is blue, a submarginal band of 
the same colour surrounding the outer margin of the posterior 
wings. The red spot of the anterior wings is pinker. Beneath, 
the hind wings are pure yellow, not green as in B. hypochlora, 
the last-mentioned species having a well-defined submarginal 
band of the same colour, whereas in the present insect this 
band is indistinct.
