in cell, is deep orange. The exterior parts are black, though 

 not so intense as the base. A row of decided white spots runs 

 parallel to the exterior margin. There are a few faint whitish 

 dashes on the margin. Interior margin, white. 



Under parts of superioi-s, general ground work black, the 

 diagonal row of white sjwts of upper side showing through 

 wing. The exterior margin is covered with a row of arrow- 

 shaped lunules, which are yellow at apex, changing to white 

 at inner margin. Under parts of inferiors yellow, with black 

 diffusion nejir base. A serrated black line extends from 

 apex to inner angle, making a number of toothed or arrow- 

 shaped markings along the margin. The nervures run to the 

 apices of these marks. Body above and below black, with 

 abdomen yellow. 



This species is nearest to A. chrysolophana, Stgr., on upper 

 surface, but differs entirely in the arrangement of the white 

 row of spots on the superiors, while the bar of the inferiors is 

 lemon yellow, no white being present, as in A. xeqne. The 

 under side of chrysolophana is white, with only a few dashes of 

 lemon yellow along the veins. 



The under side of A . xeque more closely resembles the under 

 side of ^. toca, Doubl., than chrysolophana, but is again inde- 

 scribably different, while the upper sides of both wings in 

 toca are solid white, no yellow or orange being present.

Mesoaemia yaporogom, sp. nov. Expanse If in. Superiors 

 greenish blue, with black apices ; black extending to inner 

 margin. A bar of white extends from the costa half way 

 across the wing, fading into blue. Inside the white bar a 

 band of black passes across the wing to inner margin. A large 

 circular black spot covere part of the discoidal cell, extending, 

 however, partly beyond. This spot is half way between the 

 base and the apex. One-third the extent of the wing, away 

 from the base, another black line extends from costa to inner 

 margin. Inferiors blue, same shade as superiors, with black 

 margins extending quite to inner angle. Two black bars pasS 

 from interior margin, meeting at inner angle, enclosing a cres- 

 cent of blue. Inner margin brown.
