Show 1885.] MR. H . D R U C E O N N E W H E T E R O C E R A . 525 yellow band dentated on the inner edge, a narrow streak extending from the base to near the end of the cell pale yellow : secondaries chrome-yellow, broadly bordered with brownish black. Head, thorax, and the upper side of the abdomen black, the sides yellow ; antennae black. Expanse 1| inch. Hab. Ecuador, Chiguinda (Buckley). I feel doubtful if this species should be placed in the genus Bepara ; in many points it is the same, in others it is not ; but only having a few specimens I am unable to decide this point with certainty. Mr. Buckley only met with this species on one occasion. LYCES, Walker. L Y C E S F O R N A X , sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 11.) Primaries deep black, crossed in the middle from the costal margin to the inner margin near the anal angle by a narrow chrome-yellow band; secondaries bright chrome-yellow, with a narrow black outer margin, widest at the apex. Head, antennae, thorax, and abdomen black; legs black ; underside the same as above. The female the same as the male, but slightly larger in size. Expanse, 8 \\ inch, § If inch. Hab. Ecuador, Intaj (Buckley). This species is allied to Lyces angulosa, Walker, from South-east Brazil. SCEA, Walker. S C E A F L U O N I A , sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 12.) Primaries deep black ; a narrow curved, pale, yellow band crossing the wings from the base along the costal margin to about the middle, then crossing to near the anal angle ; secondaries deep black. Head, antense, thorax, and abdomen black; legs black ; the underside of wings the same as above. Expanse 1| inch. Hab. Ecuador, Chiguinda (Buckley). This little species is very distinct from any that I am acquainted with. Mr. Buckley only obtained it at Chiguinda. SCEA ORILOCHIA, sp. n. Primaries slate-black, with the basal half orange, the nerves black ; secondaries black. Thorax, abdomen, legs, head, and antennae deep black ; the underside the same as above. Expanse I5 inch. Hab. Ecuador, Chiguinda (Buckley). A very pretty little species, allied to S. auriflama, Hiibner, from South-east Brazil. SCEA CLEONICA, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 13.) Primaries citron-yellow from the base to beyond the middle, the apex broadly banded with black, the nerves and inner margin black : |
