1865.] MR. A. G. BUTLER ON NEW DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA. 433 
irregular pale orange band crosses the wing from beyond the middle 
of the costa to the second median, nervule, where it is met by a smaller 
band crossing the space between the second and third median ner- 
vules ; base of the wing reddish. 
Female. Upperside cream-white ; markings the same as in the 
male, but much less distinct. 
Underside pale greenish yellow; markings the same as in the 
male. 
Hab. Borneo. , 
This species, of which we have three examples in the British Mu- 
seum, is closely allied to G. verhuelii (N. India), but differs from it 
in the deeper sinuations of the hind margins, the abrupt termination 
of the apex of the anterior wings, the breadth of the apical band, the 
dark margin to the posterior wings, and the absence of any sinuation 
in the anterior margin of the apex*. 
5. Hexiconia vutcanus. (Pl. XXV. fig. 5.) 
Upperside—anterior wing deep brown, glossed with blue, crossed 
beyond the middle by a broad irregular oblique scarlet band. Poste- 
rior wing deep brown, glossed with blue ; anterior margin light brown. 
Underside—anterior wing rich chocolate-brown, with a broad irre- 
gular salmon-coloured band enclosing three small indistinct white 
spots, one within the cell, and one on either side of it ; inner margin 
glossy light brown. Posterior wing rich chocolate-brown ; anterior 
margin yellow ; a broad yellow band crossing the wing a little above 
the middle and tapering towards the apex. 
Hab. Demerara and Panama. 
I found this species amongst the Heliconide, under the name of 
H. melpomene, to which it is allied ; it differs from it, however, in 
having a broad yellow band across the middle of the posterior wing 
on the underside, and a brighter blue gloss on the upperside. 
6. Danats @NonE. (Pl. XXV. fig. 6.) 
Upperside—anterior wing transparent, with a broad black band 
along the outer margin, and black anterior margin ; an irregular ob- 
lique black band at the end of the cell, connecting the anterior with 
the outer margin, and connected by a narrow black band with the 
middle of the last median nervule ; a row of fourteen brown spots in 
couples between the nervules, close to the outer margin and upon 
the black band, the second, fuurth, and sixth to fourteenth enclo- 
sing minute white spots; an oval white spot between the first and 
second and another between the second and third subcostal nervules; 
a brown spot in the middle and a white triangular spot at the base 
of the space between the third and fourth subcostal nervules ; a row 
of seven white spots, the lowest one bilobed, running parallel to the 
hind margin and through the centre of the black band ; nervures 
* I had intended to describe this species under another name; but as Mr. 
Hewitson informs me that he has lately described it as G. gobrias in the ‘ Trans- 
actions of the Entomological Society,’ I have of course adopted his name.
