 and Jnnson) ; Costa Rica {Van Patten) ; Chiriqui and Veragua

The Mexican specimens are the smallest and darker-coloured, 

 agreeing best with those from New Granada and Venezuela.

This species is without doubt a Paphia closely allied to P. verti- 

 cordia ; it is still very rare in collections. 



17. P. VERTicoRDiA, Hubu. Zutr. Ex. Schmett. f. 559, 560 

 (1825). 



Hab. Haiti (Tioeedie). Mus. S. & G.

Hab. Guatemala, St. Geronimo, Plain of Salama (Sa/vin ^ God- 

 man). xMus. S. & G., D. 



This splendid species is only found in the central valleys of 

 Guatemala, where it entirely replaces P. nessus, its nearest South- 

 American ally.

This species has a very wide range, but does not vary except in 

 the red spot on the posterior wing ; in some sjiecimens it is entirely 

 wanting, in others it is very distinct. This variation is not confined 

 to specimens from one locality. It is a very common species 

 throughout South America.

 Nymphalis centaurus, Feld. Reise Nov. Lep. iii. p. 447, t. 60. f. 5 



(1867). 



Hab. Bogota, New Granada {Birchall). Mus. S. & G., D. 



I have not seen a specimen of this species excepting from the 

 above locality ; it does not vary in the least. I have never seen the 

 female, though the male is common and in most collections.
