1885.] MR. H. DRUCE ON NEW HETEROCERA. 521 



EUCYANE SIMSONI, Sp. n. 



Primaries brownish black, glossed with dark blue near the base, 

 and crosssed from about the middle of the costal margin to the anal 

 angle by a bright carmine band edged on either side with a narrow 

 row of pinkish-white scales ; the band is widest on the costal margin : 

 secondaries brown, glossed with very dark blue ; the outer margins 

 broadly bordered with carmine. Head and front of thorax bright 

 carmine ; abdomen very dark glossy blue ; antennae and legs 

 brownish black. The wings below are the same as above. 



Expanse 3| inches. 



Hab. Colombia, Aguano (Simson) ; Ecuador, Sarayacu, Bolivia 

 {Buckley). 



The first specimen I received of this grand insect was sent home 

 by Mr. Simson, who obtained it and many other fine species at 

 Aguano ; since that time I have received several specimens, taken in 

 Ecuador and Bolivia, by Mr. Buckley, who states that its flight is 

 very swift. The example from Bolivia differs from all the others ; 

 the band of the primaries is narrower, and the colour of that and the 

 outer margins of the secondaries is pale pink instead of bright 

 carmine. It is quite probable that it may belong to another species, 

 but without more material I do not feel certain upon that point. 



EuCYANE CHISLON, Sp. U. 



Primaries dark brown, crossed from the middle of the costal 

 margin to the anal angle by a narrow chrome-yellow band, widest at 

 the costal margin : secondaries uniform dark brown. Underside the 

 same as above except that both wings have a submarginal row of 

 bluish-white spots. Head and thorax dark brown, spotted with white 

 in front ; abdomen brown on the upper side, shot with dark glossy 

 blue, the underside bright chrome-yellow ; legs dark brown ; antennae 

 and palpi black. 



Expanse 2^ inches. 



Hab. Ecuador, Intaj (Buckley). 



This species closely resembles Agarista lethe, Felder, in colour. 



CoREURA, Walker. 

 CoREURA SALMONi, sp. H. (Plate XXXII. fig. 6.) 



Primaries dark brownish black, crossed beyond the middle from 

 the costal margin to near the apex, but not quite reaching the inner 

 margin, by a dark red band, in some hghts glossed with blue : 

 secondaries dark blue, with the nerves, outer and inner margins dark 

 brown. Wings on the underside the same as above, except that the 

 primaries are dark blue from the base to the red band. Head, thorax, 

 and abdomen dark brown ; antennae, palpi, and legs black. 



Expanse 1| inch. 



Hab. Colombia, Antioquia, Frontiuo {Salmon). 



This beautiful species is very distinct, but comes nearest Coreuru 

 euchromoides. Walker.
