Show 1877] MR. H. DRUCE ON THE GENUS PAPHIA. 637 This is a rare species. A specimen from Costa Rica is larger, and much darker-coloured than those from New Granada. 22. P. RUTILANS, Butl. Ann. & Mag. N. Hist. ser. 4, vol. xv. p. 223 (1875). Hab. E. Peru (Whitely). Mus. B. Very like P. titan, only smaller and without the tails to the hind wing. 23. P. TYRIANTHINA, Salv. & Godm. Ann. Nat. Hist. ser. 4. vol. ii. p. 148 (1868) ; Hew. Ex. Butt. iv. Paph. t. 2. f. 4, 1869. Hab. Apolobamba, Bolivia (Pearce). Huasampilla, E. Peru (Whitely). Mus. S. & G., D. This beautiful species is still very rare; the female is unknown. 24. P. CYANEA, Salv. & Godm. Ann. Nat. Hist. ser. 4, vol. ii. p. 148 fl868) ; Hew. Ex. Butl. iv. Paph. t. 2. f. 5, 9 (1869). Hab. Canelos, Ecuador (Pearce). Cosnipata, E. Peru ( Whitely). Mus. S. G. Aguano, Ecuador (Simson). Mus. D. This species is quite unlike any other Paphia with which I am acquainted; it is still very rare. I have only seen the five specimens that are in our collections, all of which are males. 25. P. ONOPHIS, Feld. (Nymph, o.) Wien. ent. Mon. v. p. 110 (1861). P. onophis, Bd. Lep. Guat. p. 50 (1870). Hab. Tablelands of Guatemala (Salvin); Costa Rica (Van Patten), Veragua (Arce), New Granada (Felder), E. Peru (Pearce), Ecuador (Buckley). Mus. S. & G., D. This species is common throughout a very wide range of country, and does not vary to any extent; the specimens from New Granada are the largest arid rather greener in colour. A specimen in Messrs. Salvin and Godman's collection from Guatemala is almost without the blue spots on the anterior wing. 26. P. EUB^NA, Boisd. Lep. Guat. p. 50 (1870). I have not seen this species, but doubt its being distinct from P. onophis. 27. P. ARGINUSSA, Hiibn. (Corycia, a.) Zutr. Ex. Schmett. f. 705, 706 (1832)- Hab. Minas Geraes (Rogers). Mus. S. & G.

Peru (Whitely). Mus. S. & G, D. This is a well-marked species, but vanes much on the underside: |
