638 MR. H. DRUCE ON THE GENUS PAPHIA. [JunC 19, 



in some specimens the dark brown markings are very distinct ; in 

 others they are almost wanting. A specimen in Dr. Staudinger's 

 collection is much brighter blue than any I have seen. The type 

 was from Bahia.

The female of this species is much larger than the male, the base of 

 the wings is bluer, and the spots on the anterior wing are larger and 

 almost white. This is a scarce species, allied to P. arginussa, Hiibn., 

 of which I should consider it the Central-American representative.

Hab. Costa Rica {Van Patten). Mus. D. 



A well-marked species belonging to the Arginnssa group.

Upperside blue-black : anterior wing the basal third dull blue, two 

 blue spots near the apex, the first close to the margin, the second 

 below and nearer the middle, followed by 'three spots in a straight 

 line to the anal angle ; the third is minute: posterior wing dull, blue 

 from the base to the middle of the outer margin, a small white spot 

 just above the tail, which is short and blunt. Underside rich brown ; 

 anterior wing crossed by two undulating bands of pale brown, thickly 

 irrorated with dark brown, the first near the base quite narrow, the 

 second beyond the middle extending to the apex and the anal angle, 

 but not to the outer margin, which is dark brown ; posterior wing 

 crossed by two dark brown bands, fhe first from the middle of the 

 costal margin to nearly the inner margin, the second from the apex 

 to the anal angle, two small silvery spots on the middle of the costal 

 margin.

The female of this species differs from the male in the same way as 

 the sexes of P. jiithi/usa ; it is a rare species, but most common in 

 S. Brazil.
