Investopedia explains 'Negative Butterfly'

For example, a negative butterfly shift can happen when short- and long term-rates decrease by 75 basis points (0.75%), while intermediate rates only decrease by 50 basis points (0.50%).

This is the reverse of a positive butterfly, in which short- and long-term rates increase more than intermediate rates.
