GENUS PAPHIA. Fabr. 

 Paphia Bertha, n. sp. 



Form of P. Panariste. Upperside anterior wing dark 

 brown, witli a few reddish scales along the inner margin, 

 and a white spot at the apex ; a row of five pear shaped 

 cream coloured spots crossing the wing near the outer mar- 

 gin, the one nearest tlie anal angle the largest, the fourth 

 small. Posterior wing dark brown, the abdominal half 

 reddish brown crossed beyond the middle by a wide cream 

 coloured band, dentated on its inner margin, commencing a 

 little below the apex and terminating at the anal angle, 

 the outer margin blackish brown, the fringe of both wings 

 yellowish white. The underside is the same as in P. 

 Panariste except that it is a little darker coloured, and the 

 dark markings wider. Exp. 3| inch. 



Hab. Columbia. Mus. Druce. 



A very beautiful species allied to P. Jansoni. 



It is just possible that the above is the female of 

 P. Panariste, but I do not think it at all probable, l)ecause 

 the sexes of the two species belonging to the group. 

 P. Elcctra and P. Jansoni are alike.

 terior wing brownish black with nine irregularly sized
