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.

GalUcore 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.

13. CalUcore phlogeaj 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- 

 terior wings is red for two-thirds of its length, this colour 

 branching at its base as in G. Metiscus.

14. Batesia hypoxantha. 



Like B. hypoMoray Feld. (Voy. Nov. t. 53. f. 1, 2), but 

 differs in the following characters. The upper surface is 

 greener where B. 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.
