40 MR. A. G. BUTLER ON NEW EXOTIC BUTTERFLIES. [Jail. 28, 



Underside as in the male, except that the hind wings are copper- 

 coloured and the central band is broader and more regular in outline. 

 Body creamy white ; proboscis and prolegs yellow ; tibiae of other legs 

 and antennae orange. 



Expanse of wings 2-| inches. 



Hab. Venezuela. 



Allied to C. laurentia, Godart ; but the male is very easily di- 

 stinguished by the large orange patch in the front wings. The 

 female may possibly not belong to this species ; but it seems to me 

 to be more nearly allied to it than to the other metallic insects in 

 this genus. 



2. CORADES CYBELE, Sp. n. (PI. III. fig. 2.) 



Upperside rich brown ; antennae reddish. 



Underside — front wings rich brown ; a dirty-white spot on the 

 front margin beyond the cell ; apex pale brown, mottled with reddish 

 brown ; a large orange blotch between the second and third median 

 branches, and continued in the form of a lunule below to the first 

 branch ; a small red spot near the anal angle. Hind wings, basal 

 half grey, apical half ocbreous clouded with grey-brown ; mottled 

 with numerous small irregular red-brown spots and streaks, more 

 plentifully towards the centre of the wing and the outer margin ; anal 

 tail brown. Body grey ; palpi, legs, and antennae dull orange. 



Hab. Bogota. 



Allied to Corades sareba, Hewits. (from Bolivia), but very different. 



3. DiEDALMA EMILIA, Sp. n. (PI. III. fig. 3.) 



Upperside — front wings rich brown ; front margin, median vein, 

 cilia, and a submarginal elbowed row of nine spots yellow. Hind 

 wings rich brown ; cilia and two submarginal rows of spots yellow. 

 Body brown ; thorax with dark-greenish hairs ; antennae brown, 

 reddish at the tips. 



Underside — front wings rich reddish brown ; apex varied with 

 greenish and silvery brown ; three subapical black spots pupillated 

 with white, and two black subapical lunules ; median nervure, four 

 submarginal spots between the median nervules, a triangular spot on 

 the front margin beyond the cell, and two marginal spots at the anal 

 angle pale green. Hind wings, basal half olive-green, varied with 

 silver patches partially edged with black ; base reddish brown ; 

 apical half olive-green, varied with pale green and brown ; a central 

 band of eight ocelli, the two upper ones pale green with darker 

 centres, the others pale brown with reddish-brown centres, and di- 

 vided downwards from the centre by a black line ; all the ocelli pupil- 

 lated with white ; a very irregular wavy black submarginal line mar- 

 gined outwardly with pale green ; outer margin black ; cilia silver. 

 Body grey brown ; palpi and legs grey ; antennae grey, darker at 

 the tips. 



Expanse of wings 2\± inches. 



Bogota.
