534 MR. H. DRUCE ON NEW HETEROCERA. [May 19, 



Hab. Ecuador, Sarayacu {Buckley). 



This species comes nearest N. fustina, but it is black instead of 

 brown. 



Nelo philodamea, sp. u. (Plate XXXIII. fig. 13.) 



Primaries deep blue-black, with a brilliant dark-blue patch beyond 

 the middle ; secondaries uniform deep black ; the underside sooty 

 black, with all the nerves deep black. Head, antennae, thorax, and 

 abdomen dull black. 



Expanse 1| inch. 



Hab. Ecuador, Sarayacu {Buckley). 



This very fine insect is allied to N. refulgens, Felder, from which 

 it is at once distinguished by its greater size, and the entire absence 

 of the white band across the primaries ; the white band is replaced 

 by a most brilliant blue patch. 



Sangala, Walker. 

 Sangala antiphates, sp. n. (Plate XXXIII. figs. 14, 15.) 



Primaries and secondaries brilliant dark blue, with the costal and 

 outer margins narrowly bordered with black. Underside of primaries

 black ; a band of four elongated white spots placed between the 

 nerves, the first spot on the costal margin close to the anal angle. 

 Head, antennae, thorax, and abdomen deep black ; the sides of the 

 abdomen with narrow red lines. 



Expanse 1| inch. 



Hab. Ecuador, Sarayacu {Buckley). 



This fine species is allied to S. beata. Walker, but on the under- 

 side it is very distinct. 



Erbessa, Walker. 

 Erbessa calydon, sp. n. 



Primaries brownish black, with a central longitudinal streak from 

 the base to about the middle, bluish hyaline, beyond which an

 apex to the anal angle ; the nerves black. Head, thorax, and abdo- 

 men black ; antennse and legs brownish black.

Hab. Ecuador, Sarayacu {Buckley). 



This beautiful little species is quite distinct. 



Erbessa capena, sp. n. 



Primaries bluish black ; the nerves bluish white from the base to 

 about the middle ; a transverse hyaline baud across the middle of 

 the cell extending to the anal angle, beyond and nearer the apex ;
