white and darker brown ; a dark band crosses from the apical 

 angle of the anterior wings to the second section of the 

 median nervure of the posterior wings ; another reaches from 

 the apical angle of the hind wings to the inner margin ; and a 

 third, parallel to the last, forms a chord to a portion of the 

 curve of the outer margin, near which are four very small 

 white spots. 



Hah. Apolobamba, North Bolivia {Pearce). 



Ohs. The markings of the underside of this species correspond 

 with those of P. leuctra] on the upperside it resembles P. mcertSj 

 Feld., without the caudal appendages. 



30. Pcqjhta iudigotica. 



(J . Exp. 3*30 in. Antennse black ; palpi brown, freckled 

 Avith white ; head and thorax dark greenish ; abdomen dark 

 indigo-blue : anterior wings have the apical angle pointed, the 

 outer margin straight to the bend of the anal angle, which is 

 only slightly falcate ; dark indigo-blue, lighter at the base ; 

 costa freckled with pale bluish-green scales ; a curved band of 

 pale bluish green crosses the ajDical angle from the costa to the 

 outer margin, the posterior wings, which are dark indigo-blue, 

 being bordered with the same colour : posterior wings Avith a 

 simple caudal projection : beneath ricli reddish brown, freckled, 

 especially near the costa of the anterior wings, with white ; a 

 darkish band crosses the cell, another starts from the middle 

 of the lower radial, and reaches to the second section of the 

 median nervure of the posterior wings ; another band crosses 

 the posterior wings from the apical angle to the inner margin; 

 and another, parallel to the last, forms a chord to part of the 

 outer margin ; outside this last band is a broad whitish line, 

 and near the base of the caudal projection a spot outAvardly 

 black, inwardly white. 



Hob. Calobre, Veragua [Arce). 



Ohs. Closely allied to P. ckcsronea^ Feld., but much darker 

 blue, P. chceronea being green rather than blue. The band 

 across the apex of the anterior wings is less distinct. 



31. PapMa zelica. 



? . Exp. 3*10 in. Antennaa black; palpi brown, freckled 

 with white scales ; head and thorax greenish ; abdomen dusky: 

 anterior wings slightly acute, outer margin slightly convex, 

 anal angle strongly falcate ; dark purj^le brown ; a broad tawny 

 band, slightly curved, crosses the wing beyond the cellfrom 

 the costa to the anal angle, but does not extend over the hook : 

 posterior wings deep purple brown, with long, slightly spatulate 

 caudal appendage; anal angle mutilated, apical angle tawny:
