tentacles (a and h) greatly developed, but not the smallest trace 



of a third tentacle, thus resembling Atractylis bitentaciilata, 



Wright. 

 Fiff. 3. A young individual of the same species in an earlier stage than 



that represented in fig. 1, iv. The fourth tentacle (d) has just 



appeared, while the third, opposite to it, is already tolerably 



long : a and b are the first pair of tentacles. 

 Jiff. 4. Hydra olif/acfis. A young individual still attached to the parent 



and already furnished with five tentacles : a and b first pair ; 



c and d second pair ; e, fifth tentacle, the first of the third pair ; 



the sixth is on the point of making its appearance.

 1 . Callithomia panamensis. 



c? . Exp. 2*7 in. Above — basal third of primaries and basal 

 half of secondaries rufous ; marginal lialf of secondaries and 

 apical third of primaries brownish bhick ; an irregular band, 

 crossing the primaries from the costa to the anal angle, and 

 four spots near the apex yellow ; a black spot in the middle of 

 the cell, and another at the end confluent with the dark apex. 

 Beneath with six submarginal white spots on the secondaries 

 and two at apex of the primaries. Distal half of the antennas 

 yellow.

Obs. In coloration this species almost exactly resembles 

 Ceratinia megalo2)olis, Feld. ; the neuration, however, is that 

 of Callithomia. It also much resembles Ithomia berojiilla, 

 Hew., a species which possibly also belongs to the genus Cal- 

 lithomia. 



2. Napeoyenes pcedaretus. 



6 . Exp. 2'65 in. Yellowish diaphanous ; margins of both 

 wings, and a triangular spot at the end of the cell, and the 

 radial and median branches of the primaries black ; median 

 nervure of the primaries and space below it, the inner edge 

 of the dark margin, also the median nervure of the secondaries 

 and its branches fulvous ; apex of the primaries clouded, ex- 

 cept elongated yellowish diaphanous submarginal spots between 

 the nervules. Beneath as above, with a row of seven white 

 spots in the dark margin of the primaries, and the same num-
