222 Mr. A. G. Butler on new Species of XXIX. — On some new Species of Butterflies from Tropi-cal America. By Aethuk Gardiner Butler, F.L.S., F.Z.S., &c. The following species are chiefly interesting additions to our knowledge 'of the Rhopalocerous fauna of Veragua, the An-tirrhcea and Daptonura being most valuable, on account of the limited number of species in both genera hitherto recorded. Family Nymphalidae. Subfamily Sattbin^, Bates. Genus Antirrh^a, Westwood. 1. AntirrJicea tomasiay n. sp. Allied to^l. miltiades] primaries above more like A. phila-retes^ the transverse discal bar being indistinct ; secondaries darker in the male, rather paler in the female, with one small subapical white dot, no other markings ; fringe sordid, not bright yellow as in A. miltiades: wings below almost as in A. philaretes J hut richer in colour; the central band broader and more strongly angulated in secondaries than in any known species ; its external whitish marginal bar much narrower, scarcely indicated from the costa of secondaries to the third median branch, but wide and continuous from the first branch to the anal angle ; the ocelliferous patch on median inter-spaces chiefly differing from that oi A. philopcemen in conse-quence of the encroachment of tlie angular outer edge of the central band ; external border tinted with tawny. Expanse of wings, ^ 3 inches 9 lines, ? 4 inches 3 lines. Hah. Bugaba, Veragua. Type, coll. H. Druce. Subfamily Ntmpmalinm, Bates. Genus Paphia, Fabricius. 2. Paphia Ada, n. sp. Wings above blue-black, with brighter blue gloss at base ; primaries with a pale greenish-blue maculated band (composed of seven spots), angulated near apex, running from the third fifth of the subcostal nervure to the end of the submedian ; secondaries with the costal area black-brown ; abdominal area pale rosy brown, clothed along submedian nervure and towards anal angle with long dark brown hairs : body above greenish black : wings below very similar to P. mwris, but without the tail, chocolate-brown, sericeous, hatched and banded with dull
