New Granada {Chesterton). Mus. S. & G., D. 



A very beautiful species, very unlike any other, and belonging to 

 a little group almost entirely Central-American.

Hab. New Granada (Chesterton). Mus. D. 



I have only seen a single specimen of this fine species.

Hab. Guatemala, central valleys {Godman ^ Salvin). 



Mus. S. & G., D. 

 This beautiful species is extremely rare ; I only know of the 

 specimens taken by Messrs. Salvin and Godman.

Hab. Vera Paz {Hague) ; Polochic valley, Guatemala. 



Corosal, Honduras {Roe); Costa B\c& {Van Patten); Chiriqui 

 {Arce). Mus. S. & G., D. 



The Honduras specimen is the smallest I have seen. This species 

 is the commonest of the group, and has a pretty wide range in 

 Central America. I have not seen it from Mexico, Corosal being 

 the most northern point from which we have received it.

Hab. Rio Polochic, Guatemala. Mus. S. & G. 



A very curious species, reminding one at first sight of a Callidrtjas. 

 It is extremely rare ; I have only seen the single specimen in Messrs. 

 Godman and Salvia's collection. 



The last six species are very difl'erent from all the other Paphice ; 

 the bodies are more slender, the anterior wing is much more arched, 

 and the apex terminates in a hook; the posterior wing has two tails. 

 In form they very closely resemble Hypna huehneri. 



The subjoined Table will show at a glance the distribution of the 

 species of this genus of Lepidoptera.
