DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW AMERICAN BUTTERFLIES.
Bv William Schaus.
The following- descriptions of new species of American butterflieswere prepared from the author's collection which is now deposited inthe United States National Museum. The species are from variouslocalities, mostl}" in Brazil, although a few are from Mexico and theWest Indies. In the Hesperiidte I have followed closeh" Godman'srecent work, and I may have created a few synonyms, as both Plotz'sand Herrich-Schaefi'er's descriptions are diificult to identify. Ibelieve, however, that the species here described are all new to science.Family NYMPHALID^E.
