5. Ceratinia Eltjonia, Hewitson. 
lthomia Fluonia, Hewits. Exot. Butt. Ithomia, fig. 26. 
In this species the hind-wing upper radial nervure in the female is always connected 
with the cell by means of an upper disco-cellular. It is a distinct, well-marked form, 
closely allied, however, to C. Ninonia, and appears to be confined in its range to the 
region of the Upper Amazons. 
6. Ceratinia Anastasia, n. sp. 
<J 2. Expanse 2" 9'". A very large broad-winged species, having very much the 
appearance of Mechanitis Maeius, Hewits. Exot. Butt. Mechanitis, fig. 9. Dark orange- 
tawny. Fore wing broad, rounded at the apex : above, with a transverse zigzag belt 
after the end of the cell, from the costal to the second median branch, and a submarginal 
row of seven large, rounded spots, bright yellow ; it has the following spots and marks 
of black colour : — a streak along the base of the costa, a large triangular spot within the 
base and a double spot at the apex of the cell, two large spots between the 1st and 2nd 
median branches, and a broad stripe on the hind margin, not reaching the median 
nervure or the hind angle : the transverse belt and the submarginal spots are also 
margined with black. Beneath, the same. 
Hind wing nearly oval in shape : above, with a broad stripe crossing the hind part of 
the cell, the apical margin, and a row of large elongate marginal spots black; the 
marginal spots towards the apex are small, the others blend more or less with the central 
stripe. Beneath, the same, except that there is a broad black subcostal stripe and two 
small marginal yellow spots near the apex. 
This very large and remarkable species is found only on the Upper Amazons, at Ega 
and St. Paulo, where it flies in company with Melincea (or Mechanitis) Maeius, to which 
it is assimilated in colour. Both inhabit the shades of the lofty and humid forest, and 
are slow flyers. 
7. Ceratinia Manaos, n. sp. 
<r. Expanse 2" 5'". Besembles much in shape and colours C. Bowena (Hewitson, 
Exot. Butt. Ithomia, fig. 123). It differs in the yellow transverse belt extending over 
the terminal part of the cell. The hind wing has a central black stripe composed of five 
subquadrate spots passing behind the cell, and a marginal row of six semicircular dull 
black spots. Beneath, all the wings have a submarginal row of white spots, and the 
hind wing has the usual black subcostal stripe. 
This species, together with C. Bowena, cited above, have the appearance of small 
examples of Mechanitis Bolymnia ; their neuration, however, shows that they belong to 
Ceratmia. C. Manaos was taken on the banks of the Bio Negro, at the Barra.
