somewhat darkrr }irccii, uiih pale luimhitc-dentatc .suh- 

 terininal, which is tillcil in proxiinully with fuscous shading 

 hclween the railiuls and between M' and inner margin; 

 three diirk dashes from costa, one on eitlier side of the sub- 

 terminal and one at the j)roxinml edge of tlic marginal darker 

 green area; terminal line eomposcd of heavy black spots on 

 either side of the veins, connected with black spots in the 

 fuseons-grey fringe. Hind wing fuscous, somewhat lighter 

 towards costa, terminal line less distinct than in fore wing, 

 fringe paler grey. Underside very pale oehreous with tijc 

 markings fuscous ; fore wing with the beginning of a baud 

 from costa at one-fifth, a dark cell-spot, a postmedian baud 

 thickened and angled below IV, thence oblicjuc inwards, but 

 only reaching to M', an apical cloud reaching to IV, con- 

 taining a few pale spots near apex, the largest at the apex 

 itself, further but less distinct clouding below M' ; liiud 

 wing beneath with distinct cell-spot and narrow marginal 

 band, which is a good deal interrupted, especially from IV 

 to M', no other markings, excepting two or three indistinct 

 vein-dots indicating the postmedian.

Nearly related to //. heterojjtila, \Varr. Nov. Zoo!, viii. 

 p. 4G3, from Brazil, for which it has doubtless been passed 

 over ; larger, fore wing appearing somewhat more elongate, 

 brighter green, not mixed with reddish, central area narrower, 

 its inner edge more concave, its outer projecting less between 

 R' and M', hind wing uniform dark grey. I am verv 

 doubtful as to the propriety of retaining this and the two 

 following speeies — together with the large group to which 

 they belong — in Hummaptera. ^Ir. Warren seems also to 

 have hesitated, having published some of them as Epirrhoe 

 (in err. })ro Kuphym) and some in Anapaltu, but jjcndiu"- 

 further revision 1 leave them in what he now considers the 

 best position. 



Hummaptira luxuriuta, sp. n. 

 ^ . 32-34 mm. — Exceedingly like the most deeply and 

 richly coloured forms of H. trajcctata *, but diflcring in the 

 following points, some at least of which will prove constant : 

 palpus slightly shorter, scarcely reaching beyond frontal 

 tuft; nietathoracic crest apparently more deeply bipartite ; 

 central fascia typically with more of the vinous and less of tiie
