Sab. San Bias, Western Mexico [W. B. Bichardson). 

 A single male specimen captured in March was sent us by 

 Mr. Richardson. 



7. Ancea Schausi'ana, sp. n. 



Deep purple-black, the bases of the wings and a subapieal 

 spot on the primaries bluish purple. Beneath rich brown, 

 irrorated wuth silvery grey and black ; an indistinct dark 

 band runs from the inner margin towards the apex, a row of 

 small white spots from the apex parallel to the outer margin ; 

 the secondaries have indistinct bands more or less parallel to 

 the outer margin, and a small black spot at the base of the 

 short tail, and another between it and the anal angle. 



? . The bases of the wings and two spots in the apex are 

 paler and bluer than in the male, and the outer portion of 

 the secondaries is not so dark a purple-black. Beneath 

 much paler than the male and irrorated with ochraceous 

 brown ; the dark lines are more clear, and the tail to the 

 secondaries larger and slightly spatuled at the end. 



Uab. Coatepec, Mexico {W. Schaus). 



This fine species belongs to the group of Amea in which 

 the inner margin of the primaries is falcate at the anal angle 

 and the secondaries have a tail in both sexes {cf. Biol. Centr.- 

 Am., Bhop. i. p. 340). It has no near allies in the Mexican 

 fauna. 



We are indebted to Mr. Schaus for a pair of this species. 

 They were taken by himself at Coatepec, near Jalapa, in the 

 Mexican State of Vera Cruz.
