West Indies, Central America, and Bogota. B. M. 
This species has always gone by the name of P. genoveva ; 
but P. evarete seems to me to be clearly the female of the dry 
phase of this species, males of which we have from Honduras 
and Nicaragua. P. zonalis, of which we have a male from 
Bogota, is an intermediate phase with rather a broad oblique 
belt across the primaries; P. #lirtea is a form in which the 
oblique band on the primaries becomes opaque and tawny 
ochreous—we have it from the island of Dominica, Honduras, 
the Polochic Valley, and Mexico. I have not regarded it as 
distinct, because it evidently occurs with P. genoveva in Hon- 
duras and Central America; but a study of the early stages 
may prove it to be so. 
8. Precis constricta. 
Junonia constricta, Felder, Reise der Noy., Lep. iii. 1, p. 400 (1867). 
Bogota. B. M. 
In this insect the oblique band across the primaries from 
the costal vein to the ocellus is very narrow and the general 
colour is slightly paler than in typical P. evarete. In the 
absence of examples tending to link it to the latter, it seems 
better to regard it as distinct. 
9. Precis fuscescens, sp. 0. 
General character of P. evarete, but the forked belt on 
the primaries and submarginal orange belt on the secondaries 
narrow and more or less suffused with brown, that of the 
secondaries wanting in the dry phase; ocelli of primaries 
without orange irides; the dry phase also without orange in 
cell-spots. 
Expanse of wings 54-58 millim. 
Porvenir, Ecuador, and Quito. B. M.
