MK. H. W, BATES — CATALOGUE OF EBTCINID^, 395 



brown, with a large number of quadrate dark-brown spots, margined 

 with tawny yellow, and also marked with numerous smaller, whitish 

 spots, one within the cell of each wing, one under the origin of the 

 first median branch, and a flexuous row of 7 or 8 extending across the 

 wings beyond the cell. Fringe brown, spotted with lighter brown. 



Beneath lighter, ochreous brown, with the nervures ochrey-yellow; spots 

 same as above, but the submarginal row are alternately larger and 

 darker. 



Hab. St. Paulo, Upper Amazons. 



Calydna micra. 



d. 1". Near C. euthria, Dbldy. (Dbldy. & Hewits. Gen. D. L, pi. 70. 

 f. 10), but quite distinct. Outer margins of the wings dentate, as in 

 the majority of the species ; the dentations fringed with black, the 

 sinuses with white. Fore-wing costa incurved in the middle, sharply 

 arched before the apex, the latter produced, acute. 



Above dark sooty-brown, sprinkled irregularly with tawny atoms, and 

 having numerous amorphous black spots and patches, besides a 

 flexuous submarginal row of more regular black spots edged with 

 reddish tawny; the wings are also marked with a few shining, narrow, 

 white specks — one, more conspicuous, within the cell of each wing, 

 and four or five, smaller, on the apical half of the costa of fore wing. 

 , Beneath, the same, but paler, and with more pale atoms and distinct 

 rufous rings. 



$ same shape and size as J, but paler, the upper- and undersides 

 almost exactly resembling the underside of the opposite sex. 



Hab. Dry forests of the Tapajos and Villa Nova, Amazons. 



Genus Bcbotis (Hiibn.). 



A group of small species resembling the broader-winged species 

 of Jlesene (J£ ^rope, &c.) in outline, and agreeing with 

 Gharis in the possession of a shining plumbaginous submar- 

 ginal line on the wings. They differ from both genera in the 

 palpi being more elongate, the slender tips being visible be- 

 yond the forehead when viewed from above. The neuration 

 offers no peculiarity ; but the colour-pattern of the wings is 

 very similar in the four known species, and indicates a natural 

 group. A marked feature is the broadly rounded hind wings, 

 the outer border of which is much more advanced than the 

 anal angle. The eyes are naked. 

 Papilio hishon, Cramer,' belongs to the genus. It is sometimes 



seen on flowers in thinned woods in " campo " districts, and 



elevates and depresses its wings, when settled, like the Galydnce. 



The other species hold their wings extended, like the Nym- 



pMdia.
