Annamaria lathyi sp. n. (Figs 16, 18-20, 30,33) Type material - MNHN holotype male, labelled as: "Pérou" (white, oblong, printed), "T ? / Rio Seco IX. 28" (folded several times, yellowed white, oblong, handwritten). The specimen is in moderate condition, set dorsally, half of both antennae missing (Fig. 16). Paratype male no. 1: "Jepelecio, Pérou", viii.1928, FOURNIER collection (set dorsally, left antennái club and entire right antenna, left hindwing CuA2 tail are missing). Paratype male no. 2: "Rio Saco, Pérou", xii. 1928, FOURNIER collection (set ventrally, both hindwing anal parts broken). Paratype no. 3: "Macas, Ecuador", 1905-06, FOURNIER collection (set ventrally, in prefect condition). Paratype no. 4: "Ecuador, Podocarpus National Park, cca. 2700-2800 m, Yanagana to Valladolid, 17.VIII.1998, leg. T. Pyrcz". Paratype nos 1-3 are specimens deposited in MNHN. The female paratype (no. 4.) is deposited in MZUJ. Paratype, male no. 5 (CB): "Lita, 700 m, Esmeraldas, Ecuador, 11.1997"; paratype, male no. 6 (CB): "Rio Chuchuni, Lita to San Lorenzo km 12, 700-900 m, Esmeraldas, Ecuador, VIII.

2001". Dissection: HNHM BÁLINT gen. prep, no 1069 (MNHM holotype). Diagnosis - Similar to A. ganimedes male, A. lathyi lacks fore wing scent patches in cells Ml, M2 and M3. The fore wing ventral median and postmedian lines are narrow, and more or less equal in width, whilst these are disequal in draudti and ganimedes. On the hind wing ventrum there is a very thin black distal border of the white medial line. This trait is very wide both in draudti and ganimedes. Description - Male. Head: Labial palpus laterally bright green black with white scaling, vertex bright green. Eye hairy. Antennái segments black with white scalings at base, club brown. Thorax: dorsally bright azure blue, ventrally bright goldish green. Wings. Shape: Fore wing costal and distal margins slightly convex, apical part flat, anal margin straight. Apex and tornus slightly pointed. Length from base (erection of cubital vein) to apex (vein Cu5 terminus): 20.5 mm. Hind wing costal margin highly convex, distal margin waved having extended vein termini, anal margin also waved. Vein Cul, Cu2 and 2A termini with long extended tails (length ratio between them: 1:3:8:2), tornus slightly lobate as anal margin almost touching vein 2A in tornai area. Colouration and pattern: Fore wing dorsal ground colour bright azure blue in basal and medial areas, bright violet blue in subtnedial and in marginal areas in dorsal aspect (laterally it changes, showing a strong structural blue colour). Margin with thin black border, ciliae white between vein, black at vein termini. Hind wing dorsum similarly coloured and ciliated to that of fore wing, cells Cu2-2A and 2A-3A marginal area in tornus bright sky blue distally and black basally. Anal area from vein 2A to margin covered with long pilose scales. Fore wing ventrum gleaming silvery blue below vein Cul, above bright green, distal margin black. Median and postmedian line with same width at vein Cul. Hind wing ventrum basally and marginally bright green with black subbasal line from vein Sc+Rl to erection vein M3 from cubital adjoining median pattern in a break; with another curved black subbasal line erecting from this point and reaching ana] margin; the two lines create a delicate hook-like pattern; medial area with wide red stripe bordered basally with very thin black and wider white line, distal part intermediate, with rose hint of scales to suffused black marginal intercellular spots; anal area between margin and vein 2A with well patterned subbasal (the end of the hook-like marking) with black lines (one median, erecting from the median red stripe, and one submedian, entering to tail at terminus vein 2A. Androconia: Dorsal fore wing discal cell with a circular shaped scent pad situated in apical area; tornai part in be-
