Tachyphyle janeira, sp. nov. 
Palpi white. Head, thorax and abdomen green. Wings above green, a smoky 
brown space occupying the base of both wings, except the costal margin of the pri¬ 
maries; an outer wavy dark line, heaviest on the primaries and outwardly shaded 
with luteous, crosses both wings, beyond which the nearly entire outer margin is black 
except the apex of the primaries and the anal half of the outer margin on the second¬ 
aries. A black discal point on each wing. Underneath nearly white, the outer mar¬ 
gin of the primaries and the apex of the secondaries heavily shaded with black. A 
round black spot near the base of the primaries and a transverse basal black mark on 
the secondaries. Expanse, 31 mm. 
Habitat: Rio Janeiro. 
Azelina paranaria, sp. nov. 
Antennae pectinated, outer margins angular. Wings above pale reddish gray 
specked with black, the primaries with the space between the two lines reddish browny 
especially along the outer line. A round black discal spot on each wing. On the 
primaries the inner line extends from the costa, forming a deep curve close below the 
discal spot, and then two other large curves towards the inner margin, but not so deep 
as the first; the outer line wavy. Secondaries with only the outer line, which is 
nearly straight and shaded with brownish near the inner margin. Some termina, 
black points. Underneath the wings are greenish gray, with brown outer line finell 
wavy on the primaries, dentate on the secondaries, a dark annular discal spot on each 
wing. Expanse, 34 mm. 
Habitat: Castro, Parana. 
Nearest Azelina lindigii Feld. 
Azelina jonesaria, sp. nov. i 
Wings very slightly dentate. Antennae simple. Body and wings greyish 
brown. The primaries having the inner line wavy and oblique from the costa to the 
median at the origin of vein 2; the line recommences again at the median nearer 
the base, and forms an angle at the submedian. This line is outwardly shaded with 
very dark brown. The outer line is parallel with the outer margin, very slightly 
wavy with a deep indentation on the submedian vein. This line is inwardly shaded 
with rich brown, outwardly outlined finely with buff which is followed by a broad 
grayish shade, beyond which the margin is buff with a subterminal brownish shade. 
A terminal row of spots. The discal spot consisting of two small velvety brown 
contiguous spots one above the other and sometimes forming a line. Secondaries 
grayish brown. A submarginal buff line inwardly shaded with darker brown. Un¬ 
derneath dark fawn color, irrorated with black scales. A black discal point on the 
secondaries. An outer dentate whitish line. Expanse, 31 mm. 
The 9 differs in having the medial costal space of the primaries more light 
reddish brown, and the general ground color of the wings more of a gray. The 
terminal spots are yellow. Underneath the outer line is more angular and shaded 
with dark brown. Expanse, 34 mm. 
Habitat: Castro, Parana.
