 f. 9), the sexes of which do not differ in markings. Wings of the same 

 rich dark-yellow colour, with a glittering silvery-blue submarginal 

 line, flexuous and interrupted on the fore wing and sometimes inter- 

 rupted on the hind wing. Both wings sprinkled with a multitude of 

 black spots, much larger than in Ch. perone, and of square shape ; the 

 spots unite near the apex and outer border of fore wing so as to 

 form two thick irregular macular belts. Beneath paler, marginal 

 silvery lines macular and partly obsolete. 



Hab. Para, Tapajos. 



Charis glaucopis. 



cJ. 1" 3'". Allied to Ch. trochilia, West. Fore wing triangular, costa 

 and outer margin very gently arched, apical angle distinct; hind 

 wing gently rounded outwards. Above black ; base of fore wing and 

 abdominal border of hind wing marked with oblique confluent dark 

 red spots ; a line very near the outer margin glittering silvery blue ; 

 the fore wing has a broad belt a little beyond the middle, com- 

 mencing at the subcostal, of a rich cobalt-blue colour ; two spots 

 within the cell, and one beyond the belt, of the same hue ; outer mar- 

 gins rufous, fringe dark brown. 



Beneath dark brown, outer margins rufous, silvery lines interrupted. 

 Numerous large quadrate black spots lie across all the interneural 

 spaces ; on the fore wing they are margined with blue-grey, and on the 

 hind wing the spaces between the spots are wholly blue-grey.

 of Southern Brazil. Above dark brown ; a triangular space at base 

 of fore wing, a broad belt across the middle of same wing (widest 

 at costa), and a broad abdominal border to hind wing densely clothed 

 with glittering golden-green scales. Between the two green patches 

 of fore wing are two dusky bars and two spots ; the belt is also mar- 

 gined externally by a black line. Near the apex of the fore wing is 

 a red spot surmounted by a silvery one, and connected with a plum- 

 baginous submarginal line, between which and the outer border is a 

 row of short dusky lines. In the hind wing the submarginal line is 

 golden green, and does not reach the apex ; it is followed by a rufous 

 streak, in which is a row of short black lines. 



Beneath blackish brown, with a slaty gloss, and indistinctly barred on 

 the hind wing with black. There is a large crimson spot within the
