520 MR. H. DRUCE OF NEW HETEROCERA. [May 19, 



and abdomen black, the abdomen speckled with golden-yellow 

 scales ; antennae and legs black ; wings below black, tipped and 

 speckled with bright green. 



Expanse 1| inch. 



Hub. Philippine Islands, Luzon {Semper). 



This fine species is very distinct from any with which I am 

 acquainted, its nearest ally being M. splendens, Butler, from 

 Madagascar. 



Pericopid^. 

 EucYANE, Hiibner. 



Eucyane childon, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 4.) 



Primaries ( c? ) bluish black, much shot with dark blue from the 

 base to about the middle ; a wide orange-coloured band crossing 

 the wing from the costal margin to the anal angle, but not quite 

 reaching the inner margin : secondaries rich bluish black, almost 

 black at the apex. Head and thorax black ; abdomen above 

 deep glossy blue, below dark chrome-yellow ; antennae black ; legs 

 brownish black. Wings below the same as above, with a submarginal 

 row of bluish-white spots, small in the male but distinct and well 

 defined in the female : in all other respects the female is the same as 

 the male, but slightly larger. 



Expanse, d" 1|, 5 2 inches. 



Hah. Ecuador, Sarayacu {BucJcley). 



. This handsome species reminds me of Agarista lethe, Felder. 

 Mr. Buckley obtained a fine series of specimens of this insect. 



Eucyane phlegon, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 5.) 



Primaries ( 6 ) deep black, shot with dark blue, crossed beyond the 

 middle by a bright carmine band ; secondaries deep glossy blue- 

 black. Head, thorax, and abdomen black, shot with dark blue ; 

 underside the same as above. Antennae and legs black. The sexes 

 are alike. 



Expanse cj 2, $ 2-^^ inches. 



Hab. Ecuador, Sarayacu (BucJcley). 



This beautiful species is most nearly allied to E.jucunda, Felder, 

 from which it is at once distinguished by the absence of the red 

 spot on the secondaries, and the much less bright blue colour of the 

 wings. 



Eucyane chesalon, sp. n. 



Primaries brownish black, crossed by a carmine band ; the 

 nerves pale brown ; secondaries very dark brown, almost black in 

 some lights. Head, thorax, and abdomen dark brown ; antennae 

 and legs black. 



Expanse Ig inch. 



Hab. Ecuador, Sarayacu {BucJdey). 



The primaries of this species are coloured almost the same as 

 E. arnica, Cr., but the entire absence of the red marginal band on 

 the secondaries at once shows that it is a very distinct species.
