cellular and again not far from the distal margin between the radials there is a small black-brown spot, the 

 last-named sometimes indistinct or absent. Distal margin darkened, with a narrow blackish undulate band, 

 not sharply defined. Under surface pale oclure-yellow, very variegated, irregularly marbled with darker and wlii- 

 tish shades. At the costal margin, in the cell and in the distal marginal area dotted with dark brown, then 

 with two more or less distinct dark transverse bands ; apex dusted with wliitish, at the turned-up part of the 

 hindmargm an anteriorly directed light hair-tuft, covering an anal scent-spot. Hindwing with the distal mar- 

 gin angled at the second median vein; colouring as in the forewing, at the end of the cell darker spotted, 

 anal area hghter, a scent -spot at the middle of the costa. Under surface lighter with dark transverse band; 

 distal area darker with submarginal undulate band. In the $ the distal marginal band is more shai-ply defined, 

 general colouring somewhat paler. South Brazil (Sta. Catharina, Sao Paulo, Espiritu Santo). 



N. sarastro Stgr. Head dull ochre-yellow, upperside of the abdomen and thorax red-brown, underside sarastro. 

 and legs oclu"e-yellow. Fore\^'ing with scent-spot and pencil as in the preceding species; shape of the wings 

 similar, but the apex of the forewing more pointed, more projecting. Upper surface red-brown, apex and distal 

 margin blackish. Under surface almost ochre-bro^\^l, with darker spots and striation, especially at the costa. 

 Cell crossed by two diffiise, darker bands. A triangular darker marginal area in the distal tliird of the wing 

 is bounded by a light stripe, running from the apex towards the middle of the inner margin. Hindwing unicolo- 

 rous with very dull submarginal band wliich is darker at the apex. Under surface with 3 diffuse, darker paral- 

 lel bands, running from the costal margin in a slight curve to the inner margin. $ dark brown, chstal margin 

 narrowly reddish brown, apex of the forewing strongly produced; starting from the costal margin an elongate 

 diffuse redchsh brown spot, which is bag-shaped and rounded off near the distal margin below the apex. Under 

 surface Ught grey-brown, irregularly irrorated and dotted. In the apical area dusted with whitish, from there 

 obUquely towards the hindmargin a darker, distally dirty white nebulous band, much as in the 3". In the 

 fork of the Ith and oth subcostal veins and also below the latter a small wliitish spot, behind it a small blackish 

 spot, slightly white-pupilled, then again a small wliite dot. Hindwing with the distal margin lighter, not sharply 

 defined. This shade is -n-idened posteriorly and anteriorly runs out on the veins. Under surface coloured 

 like the forewing, indistinctly clouded with darker, near the middle of the costal margin a dark dot surrounded 

 by a Lighter area, accompanied posteriorly by a row of spots parallel with the distal margin, the first two are 

 mere rounded spots of a Lighter shade, while those wliich follow form elongate whitish patches. Colomb ia, Rio

 is a smaller form, mainly grey-brown instead of reddish ochreous, the apical border of the forewing duller 

 grey instead of black, the terminal band of the hindwing washed out, the yellowish patch in the cell and 

 along the costal of the forewing in more vivid contrast to the "grey median part. Under surface darker, more 

 copiously banded with red-browTi and with deeper purple gloss. Huancabamba, 1500 m., Peru. 



N, anartes Hew. Forewing in the ^J forming a right-angled triangle, costal margin curved, apex ahartes. 

 rectangular, sometimes produced into a slight point, distal margin nearly straight. Hindmargin straight, 

 from the base outwards somewhat folded over for a third of its length. Upper surface lighter or darker rust- 

 brown. Apex broadly blackish. Under surface pale ochre-yellow, with the exception of the hindmarginal 

 area spotted and clouded with black-brown. Across the cell run 2 dark, irregularly defined bands. Before 

 the apex close to the costal margin a small white spot, the apex itself dusted with whitish. At the folded 

 part of the hindmargin a light brown hair-tuft, covering an oval yellow scent-spot. Hindwing smoke-brown, 

 distal margin with undulate boundary-hne, relieved with rust-brown. Under surface brown, clouded, spotted 

 and watered wdth Hghter and darker; a dark band from the middle of the costa obliquely across the cell to the 

 submedian. Median- area sometimes posteriorly dark shaded and bordered with whitish, and containing an undu- 

 lated row of spots parallel with the distal margin. The spot in the lower median cellule always somewhat 

 larger and more di.stinct, mostly elongate or reniform. Close to the uniformly brown distal margin is placed 

 a blackish undulate Line, the margin itself is more or less undulate and at the middle median vein more or less 

 strongly angled. The colouring, particularly beneath, of varying sharpness, the under surface sometimes 

 with very diversified marbling. Bolivia. ■ — • syllabus Stgr. is the somewhat larger race from Chanchamayo in syllabus.

Distal margin of the hindwing in the S fully rounded. 



N. nesope Hew. Forewing triangular, apex sharply rectangular, distal margin anteriorly straight, nesope. 

 posteriorly .sUghtly convex; hinder angle smoothly rounded, hindmargin straight, near the middle narrowly 

 turned up. Upper surface red-brown, basal area behind the cell grey-brown, gradually becoming dusted with 

 velvety blackish; under surface reddish brown, clouded and marbled with darker. Near the base and across 

 the end of the cell a dark brown band, the latter broadest at the costal margin; in the costal area a small 

 white spot. At the apex whitish dusting and near it three small black dots. Hindwing almost oval. Distal 

 margin without appreciable angle, but the hinder angle rather prominent. Upper surface grey-brown with 

 faint rust-red tone, distal margin somewhat lighter, red-brown; costal margin light brown, a bare friction- 

 area with small yellowish pilose .spot before the subcostal blackish. — Under surface brown, near the base dark- 

 er, further posteriorly with three reddish spots. From the costal margin to the anal angle runs a dark brown
