the band dull rufous and intersected by three irregular bands 

 of brown scales between the veins ; the area below the lowest 

 median nervule and median nervure to the inner margin pale 

 cinereous brown. On the posterior wings is a faint indication 

 of a broad paler band crossing the disk horizontally a little 

 before the middle. 



Exp. of wings 2| inches. 



Hab. Valdivia, Colombia (Pratt). 



Nearest to H. cyrbia, Godt., and //. cythera, Hew., but 

 on the posterior wings without the white outer margin and 

 with only a faint indication of the middle pale band. 



A delpha juanna. 



Male. — Upperside. Both wings crossed by brown bands as 

 in A. leuceria, Druce, but wider throughout. On the ante- 

 rior wings the inner branch of the brown band, where it 

 becomes bifid towards the costa, is much wider, being of 

 equal width with the lower part of the band, and the brown 

 spots in the outer branch are smaller and do not curve in- 

 wardly. The posterior wings are more convex on the outer 

 margin. 



On the underside differences occur similar to those on the 

 upperside. 



Exp. of wings 2^ inches. 



Hab. Valdivia, Colombia (Pratt). 



It is very close to A. leuceria, but a larger insect. 



Adelpha nahua. 



Male. — Upperside. Both wings resemble those of A. cythera, 

 Linn., but on the posterior wings the discal white band is 

 bordered outwardly by a very broad fulvous band which crosses 

 the disk from the costal margin before the apex to the anal 

 angle ; the white band is narrower and terminates more acutely 

 and further above the anal angle than in A. cythera. On the 

 underside of the posterior wings the fulvous area outside the 

 white discal band is brighter and less distinctly traversed by 

 the irregular dark band on A. cythera, there being only an 

 indistinct indication of it; the submarginal row of white 

 lunules is almost obsolete. 



Exp. of wings If inch. 



I lab. Merida. 



Symmachia miron. 



Male. — Upperside. Anterior wings resemble those of S. ju- 

 gurtha, Stgr., but theyellowsemihyaline space beyond the black
