434 Mr. W. Warren on new 



third internally pale bordered ; an interrupted blackish streak 

 runs from the centre of the base as far as this first line, imme- 

 diately before which it forms a blackish patch ; exterior line 

 fine, blackish, curved outwards in the middle and neatly 

 denticulate throughout ; a small dark cell-dot ; submarginal 

 area suffused with pinkish, which generally intrudes into the 

 outer half of the central area, where it is pretty definitely 

 outlined and divided from that ; a row of black dashes before 

 the fringes, which are glossy and somewhat chequered ; some- 

 times, instead of the central area being greenish and the 

 marginal pink, the colours are reversed, and in other instances 

 the two colours are mixed up; the distinction of shades is, 

 however, greatest in the males. Hind wings glossy whitish, 

 becoming fuscous towards the hind margin, where also the 

 veins are fuscous ; a faint darker submarginal line and central 

 dot. Head, palpi, antennal appendages, and thorax varie- 

 gated with pink and green, in correspondence to the prevailing 

 tint of the fore wings ; abdomen pale grey. Underside dull 

 whitish, darker grey towards the costa and hind margin of 

 both wings, the fore wings shaded with reddish. 



Expanse of wings, ? 32 millim., ^ 26 millim. 



Five females, two males, from Rio Janeiro.

Fore wing dull pale green, varied with grey ; an indistinct 

 blackish transverse line near base, consisting of small separate 

 patches of slightly raised scales ; exterior line nearer the hind 

 margin than usual, dark, acutely denticulate, and followed by 

 a paler shade ; in the cell-space are two oblique linear marks 

 of distinctly raised scales, and a third immediately below the 

 inner one ; fringe green, preceded by a row of fine black 

 dashes ; beyond the exterior line is an obscurely edged dark 

 costal blotch. Hind wings dull whitish, a little darkened 

 towards the apex and along the base of the fringe, with a 

 very indistinct curved submarginal line, which is obsolete 

 towards the inner margin. Head, thorax, and antennal 

 appendages, which as well as the patagia are very large, all 

 dull greenish ; abdomen greenish ochreous. Underside pale 

 ochreous, with the costa and apex of both wings tinged with 

 pink, and the exterior line marked towards the costa. 



Three males from Rio Janeiro, expanding about 34 millim.
