HETEROCHROA MELONA. 2. 



Heteroehroa Melona Hewitson. Annals Nat. Hist., XX. p. 2oS pL 20,/. 0. 



I have figured these two butterflies for the purpose of showing how closely H. Arete of Menetries 

 is allied to my Melona ; the chief difference being that Melona has the orange band more sinuated 

 on its inner border, more so usually than is represented in my former figure, and in this respect 

 scarcely differing from H. Nea. Some examples of each have the uervures strongly defined and black. 

 whilst in others they are scarcely visible. 



HETEROCHROA ETHELDA. 3, 4. 



Upperside. Male, dark brown. Both wings crossed at the middle by a 

 common band of orange, both with the outer margin paler and traversed by a band 

 of dark brown. 



Underside rufous. Both wings crossed by the band as above, but white, both 

 with a submarginal band of white spots. Anterior wing with a bifid spot at the 

 base, a spot in the cell, and two spots at the end of the ceU, all white. Posterior 

 wing with two bands of white between the base and the central band. 



Exp. 2-fQ inch. Hab. Quito.
