mon, but the}' are less arched on the hind wing. The red belt viithin 

 the brown margin of the hind wing ends abruptly at the median ner- 

 vure, and it also differs from that of N. Lysimon in being indented 

 bj' three black lunules which surmount the marginal semicircles. It 

 occupies nearly the whole width of the brown border. 



Hah. Valleys west of ChimborazO; alt. 3000 ft. {Dr. Spruce), 



Nymphidium rubigo. 



(S . I" 6'". Same form of wings as JV. Peloj^s (Cram, 1. 170. f. F). Fore- 

 wing costa incurved in the middle, and arched before the apex. 

 Above light rusty brown, with a large triangular spot on fore wing, 

 and whole central area of hind wing pure white. The rusty-coloured 

 borders thus left are of moderate width, as in N. Pelops ; the usual 

 spots in the cell are also rusty reddish and obscure ; the marginal 

 slender curved marks are whitish and form small semicircles. Beneath, 

 the same, but paler. Head and thorax above rusty brown, rest of 

 body white. Antenna; rusty brown, with ashy-white rings. 



Hab. Banks of the Tapajos. 



Nymphidium mesoleucum. 



$ . 1" 7"'. Closely allied to JV. Calyce, Felder (Wien. entom. Monats. 

 1862, p. 72) ; differs in the borders of the wings being dark brown, 

 destitute of bluish grey on the margins, and in the fore wing having 

 a submarginal whitish streak extending to the costa. Above dark 

 brown, with the usual dark spots ringed with grey near the base of 

 fore wing. Central portion of the wings occupied by a broad 

 belt of pure white, commencing at the fore-wing subcostal, crossing 

 the lower corner of the cell, and extending to the abdominal margin 

 of the hind wing. The dark-brown outer borders have not a distinct 

 rufous streak as in A'^. Calyce, Molpe, and aUied species; and the mar- 

 ginal row of black spots is distinct and uniform, edged on the inner 

 and outer sides with whitish ; on the fore-wing the spots are encircled 

 with whitish, and a white streak extends from them to the costa. 



Beneath, the same, but much paler, and marginal spots of hind wing 

 irregular both in size and colour. 



Hab. Baranquilla, New Granada. 



Nymphidium Eutrapela. 



<? 8s 5 • 1" 7'"' Closely allied to N. Ninias, Hewits. (Exot. Butt. Nymph, 

 f. 22) ; differs in the fore wing having a broadish dark-brown costal 

 border. The wings, especially in the $ , have the same broad obtuse 

 outline as in N. Ninias. Above dark brown, nearly black ; central 

 area of fore wing and the whole of the hind wing, except the outer 

 border, pure white. The edge of the costal border of the fore wing is 

 marked, inside the cell, with several fine transverse streaks ; and the 

 much broader outer border has two rather deep indentations. It has 

 near the hind angle of both wings a narrow streak of red ; but this is 

 sometimes wanting. The marginal row of slender grey curved lines 

 form a series of semicircles.
