same size between them ; a regular submarginal row of darker spots 



edged with tawny orange. 

 Beneath, the ground-colour is tawny yellow, with the black spots as 



above. 

 Hab. Forests of the Tapajos. 



Grenus Lasaia, nov. gen. 



This new genus is founded on species having a close relation 

 to the hairy-eyed sections both of Gharis and Calydna, but differ- 

 ing from both in the slender tips of the palpi projecting beyond 

 the forehead. 



L. MERis, Cramer, Pap. pi. 366. f. B, C. Tropical America. 



L. Cleadas. Charis Cleadas, Hewits. Exot. Butt. Charis, f. 10. 



Hab, Dry woods of Santarem, on the Tapajos, Amazons. 



Tharops superba. 



c? . 1" 10'". A very robust species, closely allied to Th. splendida, Butler 

 (Journ. Linn. Soc. vol. ix. p. 224). Differs in the fore wing being 

 more obtuse at the apex, and in the hind wing being much more 

 advanced and broadly rounded in the apical portion, thus rendering 

 the outer margin less oblique thence to the apex. Above, it is of a 

 metallic light green colour, with pure cerulean blue on the disk and 

 costal part of hind wing ; the costal and apical borders are broadly 

 blackish-brown, and with the borders are blended the black marks of 

 the wing-cell. 



Beneath ochreous rusty, with the inner half of the fore wing and disk 

 of hind wing whitish, marked with dusky or rustyspots. 



Hab. Villa Nova, Amazons. 



Lemonias Melia. 



$. 1" 4'". Resembles L. cerealis, Hewits. (Exot. Butt. Lem. f. 37), 

 shape of wings the same. Above pale straw-coloiu-, base of fore wing 

 crossed by two rows of oblong blackish spots ; and then follows a 

 broad, clear, straw-coloured band ; and the whole outer border is 

 broadly black, with a slender line of straw-colour running through itj 

 followed by two short streaks near the hind angle. The hind wing is 

 crossed by seven broadish slightly waved black belts, of which the 

 3rd (from the base) is much abbreviated, and the 6th macular. 

 Fringe alternately black and white. 



Beneath, the same, except that the black belts of the hind wings are 

 broken into spots. 



Lemonias campestris. 



c? & $ . 1" to 1" 4'". Closely allied to L. Epulus (Cram. t. 50. f. C, D). 

 Differs in the wings being of a light reddish-tawny hue and destitute
