back of the head, and one on the thorax beneath ; the outer margin 

 of secondaries narrowly red. 



Hab. Bolivia {Buckley). 



Obs. Differs from T. hygieia and all its allies ia having a red 

 nuchal patch. 



Pyrrhopyga jErata. (Plate XIV. fig. 3.) 



Exp. 3 in. Body pjreenish black, abdomen with six rufous bands 

 on either side : wings bronzy-green ; secondaries rather darker, with a 

 discocellular and three adjoining spots rufous. Beneath, both wings 

 bronzy green, three spots forming a patch in the middle of the se- 

 condaries rufous. 



Hab. Pueblo Viejo, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (Simons). 



Obs. Apparently allied to T. hygieia, but differing considerably 

 both in colour and markings. We have but a single specimen of 

 this fine species, one of Mr. Simons' s recent discoveries. 



Pyrrhopyga rxjfipectus. 



Exp. 2'.5 in. Body greenish black, head and palpi black, a rufous 

 patch on the thorax beneath ; wings as in T. hyyieia. 



Hab. Ecuador, Rio Topo (Buckley).

 patch on the thorax beneath. 



Pyrrhopyga variegaticeps. 



Exp. 2'4 in. Body black, head between the eyes with three in- 

 distinct white bars, wings rich metallic blue, darker on the secon- 

 daries towards the outer margin and anal angle. Cilia of the outer 

 margin of secondaries red. 



Hab. Costa Rica (Rogers). 



Obs. Allied to T. hygieia (Feld. Reise Nov. Lepid. iii. p. 506, t. 

 70. f . 1) ; differing in the white markings of the head ; the palpi are 

 black instead of red, and the red outer margin of the secondaries nar- 

 rower. 



Pyrrhopyga minthe. (Plate XIV. fig. 4.) 



Exp. 2-6 in. Allied to T. pityusa, Hew. (Exot Butt. Pyrrh. ii. 

 f. 11); but differs in the proximal band of the primaries being ob- 

 solete and tlie apical spot being wholly absent ; the dark hne which 

 crosses the secondaries from the middle of the costa in the direction 

 of the anal angle is much narrower in the present species. 



Hab. Rio Topo, Ecuador (Buckley). 



Pyrrhopyga eupheme. (Plate XIV. fig. 5.) 



Exp. 2'4 in. "Wings black ; primaries crossed through the middle 

 from the subcostal to the submedian nervures by a reddish yellow 

 band ; in the apex is an oval yellow trifid spot, between which and the 

 the band is a similar bifid spot ; the secondaries are considerably pro-
