Mr. W. C. Hewitson on some new species of Butterflies. 437 



Heterochroa Abyla. PL IX. fig. 7. 



Anterior wings long and protruded at the apex. Posterior 

 wings deeply dentated. 



Upper side deep purplish brown, with a broad common band 

 of white, rounded at both ends, indented at the crossing of the 

 nervures, widest on the posterior wing, commencing at the me- 

 dian nervure of the anterior wing and ending near a large orange 

 patch at the anal angle of the posterior wing ; obliquely across 

 the apex of the anterior wing is an irregular oblong patch of 

 orange. The usual black lines run parallel to the margins of 

 both wings. 



Under side as above, but rufous, of many tints. Between the 

 black marginal lines of both wings are several broken lines of 

 white tinged with purple, and near the bases of the wings many 

 similar lines of a yellowish colour. Exp. 2y^ inches. 



In the British Museum and my own collection. From Jamaica. 



This beautiful species scarcely differs except in form from 

 P. Iphicla of Linnaeus. 



Heterochroa Lara. PI. IX. fig. 8. 



Uppei' side deep brown, apex of anterior wing black. Ante- 

 rior wing crossed by a broad beautiful band of crimson, irre- 

 gular on its outer margin, commencing at the middle of the 

 costa and ending at the outer margin considerably below the 

 middle. 



Under side chocolate- colour, with the nervures, lines between 

 them and a submarginal line, black. The band of the anterior 

 wings almost white, slightly tinged with crimson, chiefly at its 

 extremities. In the middle of the cell is a spot of ochre nearly 

 cut in halves by two black spots, each with a blue point in its 

 centre ; a black line also bounds the inner side of the central 

 band, and this is dotted with blue. The base of the wing on the 

 costa is crimson as well as that of the posterior wing, which is 

 also belted with five black lines inclosing a patch of ochre ; the 

 under side of the abdomen is yellow, and the abdominal fold 

 rufous. Exp. 2| inches. 



In my own collection. From Venezuela. 



This species differs greatly in appearance from those described 

 above ; it has longer palpi, but is nearly allied to H. Isis and 

 H. Mesentina.
