By Arthur G. Butler, Ph. D. 

 Senior Assistant-Keeper of Zoology, British Museum. 



Enantia acutipennis, sp. n. 

 (^ . Nearest to E. aphrodite, but the primaries with the outer 

 margin much more oblique than in any of the species of the E. licinia 

 group, giving the apex a more acute aspect; costal margin almost 

 straight to beyond the discoidal cell. Wings above greenish white, 

 slightly washed with sulphur-yellow towards the posterior angle of the 

 primaries and on the external area of secondaries ; base of costa of 

 primaries yellow ; apical border nearly black, internally trisinuate ; 

 the first sinus from costa to subcostal vein, the second to lower radial, 

 the third to end of first median branch ; a semilunar subapical spot of 

 the ground colour ; secondaries with a short black marginal border at 

 apex ; primaries below chalky white, tinted in front with sea-green ; 

 costa sulphur-yellow, inclining to saffron -yellow at apex, where the 

 apical area of the upper surface is indistinctly visible through the 

 wing ; base of costa also slightly tinted with saffron ; secondaries 

 sulphur-yellow, slightly washed with saffron at base and on outer 

 border ; two dust-grey stripes, the upper inarched and unequally bifid 

 beyond the cell through the upper part of which it passes, the other 

 discal, from submedian vein almost to first subcostal branch ; pectus 

 yellow, washed with saffron at the sides ; venter white. Expanse of 

 wings, 51 millim. 



Trinidad {J. H. Hart). $, B. M. 



In outline this species more nearly resembles one of the 

 many named forms of E, melita than any of the E, licinia group. 



DiSMOBPHiA nella, sp. n. 

 Allied to D. siloe. Male with a deep tawny streak from base to 

 near end of cell, traversed at its commencement by the median vein ; 

 submarginal hyaline spots small and partly obliterated, otherwise as 

 in D. siloe ; secondaries with a tapering black streak from the border 

 at end of third median branch almost to the abdominal margin ; 

 female with the basal half of primaries and the secondaries tawny, as 

 in that sex of D. theucharila. Expanse of wings, <y 60 millim., $ 

 63-57 millim. 



New Granada ; Bogota. Colls. Hewitson and B. M. 



In the Hewitson collection a female of this species is associated 

 with D. theucharila^ and two males and a second female with 

 D. siloe ; one male is in the Museum collection. 



DiSMORPHIA DISCREPANS, Sp. n. 



^ . Near to D. amphione, and apparently only differing from 

 D. beroe, Lucas, in having the basal half of the costa of primaries 

 ochreous, right up to the commencement of the yellow macular band ;
