Mennis halia, sp. n. (Plate XXXIII. fig. 4.) 



Primaries dull black, with a narrow streak from the base to the 

 end of the cell, and one from the base along the inner margin to the 

 anal angle, brick-red ; a band of four brick-red spots following the 

 outer margin, the two first the largest, the third and fourth quite 

 small : secondaries uniform brick-red, narrowly bordered with black 

 from the apex to the anal angle. Head, thorax, and abdomen 

 black ; antennae and legs black. 



Expanse 1 inch. 



Hub. Ecuador, Chiguinda (Buckley). 



A beautiful little species, very distinct from any that I am 

 acquainted with. 



Mennis ficaria, sp. n. (Plate XXXIII. fig. 5.) 



Primaries black, thickly blotched with blood-red spots ; secondaries 

 blood-red, narrowly bordered with black ; underside the same as 

 above. Head, thorax, and abdomen black ; tegulse red ; antennae 

 and legs black. 



Expanse | inch. 



Hab. Ecuador, Chiguinda {Buclcley). 



This beautiful little species varies very much ; some of the speci- 

 mens have the primaries quite black, but the series before me shows 

 almost every intermediate between the specimens with the spotted 

 primaries and those with black primaries. Taken separately I have 

 little doubt that mauy entomologists would consider them as distinct 

 species ; but with the series in my collection I have not the slightest 

 doubt that they all belong to one very variable insect. 



Devara, "Walker. 



Devara bubona, sp. n. (Plate XXXHI. fig. 6.) 



Primaries dull black, with a large white patch extending from the 

 base to about the middle, rounded on the outer edge : secondaries 

 uniform dull black. Underside of primaries black, with the basal half 

 white, the costal margin and apex shaded with greyish brown ; 

 secondaries silver-grey clouded with brown, the nerves all black. 

 Head, antennae, thorax, and abdomen black. 



Expanse, d Iq^ inch, $ 1| inch. 



Hab. Ecuador, Sarayacu (Buckley). 



Devara phyleis, sp. n. 



Primaries black, with a large central round white spot slightly 

 nearest the inner margin ; secondaries brownish black. Head, 

 antennae, and thorax black ; abdomen brownish black above, on the 

 underside dusky white. Underside of the wings dusky white, with 

 the outer margins broadly bordered with greyish brown. 



Expanse Ij inch. 



Hab. Ecuador, Intaj (Buckley). 



This species is allied to Z). bubona, from which it is at once 

 distinguished by the different position of the white patch on the 

 primaries.
