SUBFAMILIES ANTICHLOKINiE AKD CHARIDEIN^. 427 



2. A. BRASILIENSIS, n. Sp. 



5 . Allied to the preceding species, but duller, the metallic-green spots 

 on the abdomen smaller ; no cream-coloured spots on the shoulders 

 primaries with a well-defined hyaline white spot just beyond the 

 middle of the cell ; the usual spot below the cell larger ; the large 

 discal spot rounded, bifid, only cut by the third median branch : ex- 

 panse' of wings 47 miUims. 

 Brazil. Two examples, B.M. 



This species was coufounded with the preceding by Mr. Walker ; 

 but it is readily distinguished by the absence of the wbitish 

 shoulder-spots, as also by the other characters above mentioned. 



3. A. DivERSiPENNis = Euchromia (Hippola) diversipennis, Walker, 

 Lep. Het. i. p. 225. n. 34. 



J. Tapajos (Bates). Type, B.M. 



This species and the following have no white shoulder-spots. 



4. A. Stretchii, n. sp. 



cJ . Allied to the preceding species, but the male with much larger secon- 

 daries ; no scarlet spots on metathorax and base of abdomen ; the metal- 

 lic spots much more bluish ; primaries with only one very small scarlet 

 stria at base below the median nervure, the discoidal cell metallic 

 blue-green, with the usual hyaline white spot, also a green line below 

 the scarlet submedian litura; an interno-median oblique hyaline white 

 spot towards the base ; large discal hyaline patch, almost equally broad 

 at both extremities ; secondaries white, base and costal area brownish : 

 primaries below with a large interno-median white patch as in A. 

 meones (in A. diversipennis it is brown), no scarlet costal streak : ex- 

 panse of wings 49 milhms. 



$ . Chiefly diifers from the male in the larger interno-median spot of 

 primaries, the rounded hyaline discal spot, the normal female secon- 

 daries, and in the presence of crimson spots at base of abdomen in 

 the centre : expanse of wings 46 millims. 



S , Tabatinga, Peru {Degand); St. Paulo, Amazons (Bates),, 



Type, B.M. 



This species and the following are probably found over the same 

 or nearly the same region ; they cannot, however, be easily con- 

 founded together, as the secondaries in A. Stretchii d are large 

 as in A. meones; but A. parvipennis is probably the Upper- 

 Amazon type of A. diversipennis, and has the same small male 

 secondaries. 



5. A. PARVIPENNIS, n. sp. 



c?. Only diflfers from A. diversipennis in the more oblique and trifid
