transverse markings of the wings are all less distinct; and that crossing 
both wings beyond the end of the cell of each in the present species 
passes in the hind wing considerably beyond the end of the cell. 
The ocelli near the apical angle of the hind wings are larger, and the 
red colour of the same is more extended, leaving only a comparatively 
narrow black border. From P. ocreata, Salv. and Godm. (Ann. Nat. 
Hist. ser. 4, vol. ii. p. 143), the present insect differs in the absence 
of the conspicuous white markings of the hind wings, as well as in 
the position of the bands common to both wings, and other minor 
characters.

9. Exp. 3°5 in. Outer margin of both wings dentated somewhat 
as in the genus Dedalma. Apex of anterior wings truncate, 
outer margin concave, the upper radial elongated and carrying a 
well-defined emargination. Above brown; anterior wings with a 
submarginal row of five white spots, and two other spots, one between 
the median branches, the other between the first median branch and 
the submedian nervure ; posterior wings with a broad tawny margin 
intersected by the dark nervules, and having a black spot about the 
middle of the median interspace. Beneath, anterior wings as above, 
with the apex tinged with tawny, and irregularly marked with whitish 
spots; hind wings deep tawny ; a row of ocelli between the median 
and radial nervules, that between the median branches largest and 
bipupillated, two ocelli hetween the submedian neryure and the first 
median branch ; a number of irregularly-shaped silvery spots in the 
vicinity of the ocelli, and four similar ones arranged across the middle 
of the cell from the costa to the submedian nervure; an indistinct 
pale submarginal band between the ocelli and the outer margin.

3. Exp. 3°5 in. Closely allied to H. tsmenius, Latr. (Humb. and 
Bonpl. Obs. Zool. ii. p. 125, t. 41. f. 5, 6), which it appears to replace 
on the Isthmus of Panama. The black spot in the middle of the 
cell unites with the black apical portion of the anterior wing; and 
the posterior wings are crossed by a well-defined band extending 
from the apex to the inner margin.
